    Slow Walker Advice

    Hi yes don't worry, there will be lots of places to stay at short distances. I walked in 2012 and often only did short days. Now there will be even more albergues as its ever more popular. Buen camino!

    First timer tips afterwards - blister

    So do you take the thread out in the morning and cover it with a guaze dressing? Then do the threading again after walking? I never had any blisters on my caminos thank goodness, but I saw many people who had terrible ones - everyone used the threading method and I was always curious...

    Hiking with bad popped blisters

    Good! Wear them, not the boots! Then your blisters will have a chance to heal. On one of my Caminos I met a girl who was crying from her infected blisters every night. I went with her to buy sandals and she never looked back!

    Looking for a used ALTUS Poncho

    Hi, I've got one you could have, but I'm in the UK. Would it be difficult and expensive to post? And how would you pay me? I'll have to check the size - it may be medium..

    LIVE from the Camino Struggling to continue

    You'll have your ups and downs. I remember times feeling terrible, trudging through the rain and mud for instance. Then I met some pilgrims who offered me some chocolate- 'manna from heaven'. Stick with it. Chat to people. Get in touch with your inner self and your reasons for wanting to do it...

    LIVE from the Camino My First Camino Adventure: From Sarria to Samos Monastery

    Love your story! You write well. It does sound very strange with hardly any pilgrims and not much open. I've been through Sarria a few times and it's always been heaving with people! Good luck with the rest of your Camino. I'll try to find your posts again!

    Severe joint and muscle pain post Camino Frances

    Hi loumura, I was interested to read your post as I have Pmr too. Did you say that you are not taking the steroids? How are you managing? Are you taking anything? I couldn't imagine walking the Camino, I can barely walk down the road some days!

    Advice on skipping Meseta

    (Acebo, not placebo!)

    Advice on skipping Meseta

    Noo! Don't do that, get your knee better, then go and do the whole thing, that's my advice. Placebo to Molinaseca is one of my favourite bits- so beautiful! Best wishes..

    So sorry to hear your story. It sounds like a nightmare! I cant imagine what the experience must have been like for new pilgrims. Such a shame it has come to this.

    Can you send bags to or have bags picked up from Municipals?

    Ah thanks for this post! I am planning to walk from Logrono to Burgos, just a few days this year as I'm not as fit as I was! I need to have my pack transported but I'm worried that there are not many private albergues on the route, and I can't walk more than about 15k without difficulty. So I...

    Oh dear! Which bus stop was that? Glad you finally made it..

    Bus from San Juan de Ortega, or Villafranca montes de Oca to Burgos

    Thanks, that was a great website and a good idea. I've checked it out and the bus is every 3 hours and not on a Saturday, and not on the Friday evening. So I think I'll get a bus from Villafranca earlier.

    Bus from San Juan de Ortega, or Villafranca montes de Oca to Burgos

    Yes, that's what I was thinking of doing. Do you just flag the bus down and pay on the bus? Thanks
