I have just returned from the CF. I had the unfortunate experience of being bitten by bedbugs - face to toes.
They featured a lot on my short journey, as a few pilgrims experienced them along the way too.

I managed to leave my iPhone charger in my previous albergue. Currently in Portomarrin but everything is closed (Sunday). Does anyone know for sure if there’ll be something in Palas de Rei for when I get there tomorrow? I’ve done some research and found some appliance shops, but not confirmed...
I’m on my way to Gatwick Airport to fly to Santiago this evening, embarking on my 3rd camino. Two years ago I walked from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago, and last August I walked from Porto to Santiago.

Thanks in advance!
Hi All,
I’m staying in Calzadilla de los Hermanillos tonight, and have decided to take the long stretch of Roman Road to Mansilla de las Mulas tomorrow. I’ll be well stocked up on water, sun cream and snacks!
My question is: do I pass through Reliegos on this Roman road route or will it be...
I thought I’d give an update from the Camino Frances. I’m currently in Boadilla del Camino, heading for Santiago, and reflecting on the last few weeks.
As a bit of background, I’m a 41 year old woman travelling solo (an experienced Camino friend came with me for the first 3 days (St Jean to...
Hi,
I have walked from St Jean Pied de Port to Pamplona with a very good friend, but he has now left Pamplona for a Camino in Italy.
I am staying in Pamplona this weekend and planning to leave very early on Monday morning to avoid the heat (5am or earlier). I’m slightly anxious about suddenly...
