Which are the “wilder” (least paved, most rural) Spanish routes?
Every route has its joys and every pilgrimage its revelations. I’d love to read opinions and experiences of routes that are more rustic or out-of-the-way than the most-traveled routes (i.e. the frances and the portugues, both of which I have walked, and the norte, which I have not). I’m most...- sarahchicago

Santiago to Porto Wednesday April 26 or Thursday 27, 2023
Edit: no need for ride share now. I took the bus instead. Bus strike planned for Thursday and Friday and the trains are all full. Anyone up for sharing a BlaBlaCar ride? DM if interested in going wednesday. I could possibly go Thursday but worry transport will get a bit difficult that day.- sarahchicago

Can you identify this critter?
I nearly stepped on this little guy on my way into Ponte de Lima, Portugal. Can someone identify it? It was only about 12 inches/30 cm long. (P.s. I checked Ivar’s new suggested title and it used “small animal” instead of critter and added the town name. I kept my original title as it was shorter)- sarahchicago

I need to move my May Camino from Porto to early April or to June. I would leave Porto around March 29 and arrive in SdC a couple of days after Easter (which is April 9).

Adding reviews to Camino apps
As I walked from SJPDP to SdC in May-June this year, I added comments and reviews of routes and albergues to the app I used (wise pilgrim). I benefited from reading other reviews within the app, too. I see very few reviews and comments in the wise pilgrim app for the Camino Portugues. So, 1)...- sarahchicago

Advice on Central route May 2023
I’m planning to walk my second Camino in spring 2023, the portugues central from Porto. I walked sjpdp to SdC mid-May to mid-June this year with my husband (31 walking days including Samos- too fast, on reflection, so will walk that route again leisurely another time).
