I recently walked the Camino dos Faros from Malpica to Finisterre over 8 days and have to say this is hardest and most difficult walk I have ever done. Tough uphills and sharp descents with a lot of rock scrambling, track quite often one boot width wide on the edge of cliffs, scrub often waist...
Arrived Negreira today, staying Albergue Coton which is newly renovated & been open one month. This is one of the nicest albergues I have stayed in over 6 Caminos. Spotlessly clean, plenty of space & the hosts, Patricia & Raul, make you so welcome & nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommended.
Planning this camino late April/early May 2023 but having trouble finding out about bus service from SdeC or Coruna, preferably SdeC, to Malpica. Different sites give conflicting information. One says there is a daily bus from SdeC departing 8.15am, others say there is no service. From Coruna...
Currently walking Norte. While at Guemes (2 June) a number of pilgrims picked up bedbugs. Also heard a couple of days ago that others had experienced bugs prior to this. 2 nights later 3 of us were in room 3 at Camping Santillana. One person woke at 11.30pm yelling out she had bugs all over...

I am planning to walk Camino del Norte next year but instead of going from Ribadeo to Arzua would like to continue on the coast to Ferrol and then walk the Ingles to Santiago.
Has anyone walked this route? If so what is waymarking like, accommodation etc and is it possible to get maps of the...
A "test the water" get together was held at Maroochydore on 7 April to see if there was interest in starting regular meetings on the Sunshine Coast. 30 people turned up, which was magnificent, and with apologies from another 15 it was agreed there was enough interest to have a gathering every...
