    Cancelled Ryanair Flight

    I received an email from Ryanair this morning to say my flight on Thursday 16th April from Santiago to Stansted had been cancelled. They offered me a seat on the following days flight which I have accepted although it is not entirely convenient. (What the heck, an extra day in Santiago - I can...

    From Santiago to St James

    I stumbled across this on a website http://www.spanish.about.com and thought it might be of interest to anyone else who has wondered why we translate Santiago as St James when there appears to be little connection between the two names....

    Camino Portuguese Easter 2009

    Hi all. I am walking the camino Portuguese over Easter next year and was wondering if anyone has any experience of what to expect in terms of pilgrim numbers/accommodation availability at this time of year? I will arrive in Porto on 1st April and may well be arriving in Santiago on Easter...

    Albergues Neda and Mino

    Just booked flights for my 18 year old son and I to walk the Camino Ingles end August! The planning is quite challenging compared to the caminos Ingles and Fisterra - no reassuring John Brierley guide to hold your hand every day. I have the CSJ guide and have made notes from the existing...

    LIVE from the Camino Busy Albergues?

    Not quite "live" from the camino - I got back yesterday after walking the Camino Frances from Villafranca del Bierzo - Fisterra. Before I left I read on this forum some worries about how busy the albergues were and how there was a "race for beds" and thought it might be helpful to give an...

    Article in The Times Saturday 1st March 2008

    I have read with interest, both in the John Brierley book and on this forum, about mendicants - those people who have walked the camino and relied entirely on the kindness of strangers to sustain their journey. The following short article appeared in The Times today and thought it may be of...

    Relief Map of Camino Frances

    Somewhere between Leon and Villafranca del Bierzo, maybe on the wall of an albergue, I saw a plastic coated 3D wall map of the camino Frances - the kind of thing you used to see on classroom walls. It was a great way to show the highs and lows of the walk. I have been searching the internet to...

    Those dreaded BEDBUGS again

    Just back from the latest stage of my camino from Leon to Villafranca del Bierzo and thought I'd warn anyone out there that there are bedbugs in the albergue San Javier in Astorga. I always spray my bed with insecticide and use a bedbug proof sheet however I woke up COVERED in bites and had a...

    Flights to Leon

    Are there any uk flight companies which fly to Leon? I can only find ones that go via Madrid or Barcelona. If not, then when starting from Leon is it easier to fly to Santiago or to Asturias? (or possibly some other airport I don't know about?) Will only be going as far as Sarria so will have to...

    Accommodation in Leon

    I will be walking from Burgos to Leon starting on Monday 4th June and I hope to have a free day day in Leon (if rough walking schedule goes to plan...). I will stay at an albergue for the night of my arrival but will need to check into somewhere else for the second night. Does anyone have a...

    Albergues between Burgos and Leon

    I have been planning my rough intinerary for next walk between Burgos and Leon (starting 4 June) and did a little research on this forum to see if anywhere particularly interesting to stay was mentioned. I stumbled across the terrible experince that some pilgrims had whilst staying at the...

    Bed bugs

    I am leaving in two days time to restart my pilgrimage in Logrono. I think I am pretty well prepared for the different conditions I will encounter from my last stint in sunny June with regards to warmer clothing, sleeping bag etc. However, I am rather worried about the bed bug situation. Does...

    hi I am planning to walk from Logrono to Burgos from 9th Nov. I walked from Roncevalles to Logrono in June (Iam not able to take a long enough holiday to do the entire Camino in one go).
