I’m trying to book flights for our Porto to Santiago pilgrimage starting September 20th. Round trip to and from Porto seem to be the best prices I’ve found. Is there a train from Santiago to Porto?
Hello,
We hiked the Camino Frances from Ponferrada to Santiago in April 2022. We would like to hike the Camino Coastal from Porto in 2023. Are some months better than others? How many days should be allow? I see many pilgrims switch along the way to the Camino Central, thoughts on the best...
We just completed our first Camino along the Camino Frances from Ponferrada on Mother’s Day. We are already looking to do the Portuguese Camino from Porto along the Coastal route, and would like to include Fisterra and Muxia along the way to Santiago de Compostela. Is this practical is the...
Hello! We started our first Camino Frances in Ponferrada on April 29th and finished today, Mother’s Day!

As I posted earlier, we are flying into Madrid on April 28th, and hope to take the train to Ponferrada and stay there the 28th. Since we may not catch the train, and have to stay in Madrid the 28th, we are unsure about booking accommodations ahead. Someone posted that the coming weekend is a big...
In addition to walking the Camino Frances from Ponferrada to Santiago de Compostela, we will also be in Germany and Italy.

Is there an evening meal available at some Albergues?
Thank you for...
We will begin our walk to Santiago in Ponferrada on April 29th. Are the accommodations in all Albergues in large rooms, or do some have private rooms? If we desire a private room, will we need to rely on Hotels for privacy?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
I am a genuine newbie to the Camino. I plan on starting the French Way in Ponferrada on April 29th. Where along the way to Santiago do I acquire the necessary stamps in my Credential to receive a Compostela in Santiago?
Hello,
Our itinerary is coming together a little more each day. We will begin our walk in Ponferrada, arriving there by train on April 28th, staying the night and starting out the morning of April 29th. We are still unsure of our daily mileage, thus, unsure of which town we will stay in each...
Hello,
My name is Tony Patnode, and my girlfriend is Margherita Scott. This will be our first Camino walk. We’re flying from Munich into Madrid in late April. We want to start a town or two before Sarria. Any suggestions that would be an easy train / bus ride from Madrid?
