    Refuge Orisson vs. Auberge Borda

    Thank you everyone! I decided to go with Auberge Borda. There just seemed too much uncertainty with Orisson - a convoluted booking process, temperamental host, morning coffee running out early, and the possibility of being bumped to their satellite location. It's a shame as I kinda wanted...

    Refuge Orisson vs. Auberge Borda

    I begin the Camino Frances from SJPdP on my birthday in mid-late May. Taking it relatively easy on the first day, so will stay at one of these two accommodations that night. Auberge Borda seems to be of higher quality in terms of beds, facilities and food. However, Refuge Orisson seems to be a...

    charity shop, thrift store, etc. for cheap/free camping gear?

    Thanks - makes sense! I'll drop by Pilgrim House just in case, but most likely will need to visit Decathlon.

    charity shop, thrift store, etc. for cheap/free camping gear?

    ¡Hola peregrinos! I'll probably walk the Camino Inglés in late Augist. Afterward, I am thinking of camping for a few days in the Cíes Islands and will need a tent and ideally a sleeping mat. Wondering if there is somewhere in Santiago de Compostela offering free/cheap camping gear? Just need...

    Portuguese Way from Tui via the Spiritual Variant - advice please!

    I think so, but you can contact (one of the) operators via WhatsApp to confirm: wa.me/34607911523 It's a beautiful journey. I'm currently in Padrón, which is great place to take a break before the last push to Santiago de Compostela. Be aware that the walk from Armenteira to Vilanova de Arousa...

    Portuguese Way from Tui via the Spiritual Variant - advice please!

    Thank you. I'm currently in Porto and will taking the train to Vigo later today, where I shall begin my Camino tomorrow. Am I right in thinking Vigo to Redondela is more scenic and not too much more arduous than beginning in O Porrino?

    Portuguese Way from Tui via the Spiritual Variant - advice please!

    Great info I'm now wondering if I should begin in Porrino or even Redondela instead of Tui? Are those 17/33 km "worth it" in terms of beauty and interest? My itinerary doesn't have much slack (I leave Santiago de Compostela early the next morning, having arrived the previous afternoon), so...
