Yes, I have fallen for it! What an idiot. I am always telling people to be careful when purchasing on-line. I am planning a shortish camino (Roncesvalles to Logroño) in September of this year.
I often use Booking. Com for searching out accommodation and other things. I have a hotel booked in...
Hi All. I last did the English route in 2012. I am think of doing it again in Spring 2019 (with a couple new to the Camino. They want a taster and preferably want to end up in Santiago.)
Has the route changed significantly to warrant my buying a new guide? I understand it’s changed around/after...
Hi All
I need some help/advice...
Am going to be doing a 5 day walk on a camino end October beginning November of this year. I’m relatively happy with whatever the weather throws at me but this time I am going to be doing it with two fair weather friends! She does not appreciate more than a...
Does anyone have any experience of Asolo shoes/boots. They seem to have a lot going for them... Shape, Gor-tex, fabric for summer walking etc. I'd be really interested to know if you like them or hate them and why.
Thanks, buen camino. Judy
I'm wondering if anyone has a solution for my 3rd and 4th toes! Over the years they have curled over a bit at the ends and when I walk for any length of time the nails, no matter what I do take the brunt and I invariably lose them (the nails that is, not the toes!) :eek: I seem to remember in...
Hi, Does anyone know where I can obtain/find out Mass times for the camino Portuguese starting in Tui? I'm sure there must be a website out there somewhere with the info. Thanks a lot. Buen camino.
Hi
Does anyone know how easy it is to hire a car in Santiago airport or city and drive down to our starting point in Tui? I have looked at some sites and all they all say that you have to drop off in Vigo. :rolleyes: Does anyone know if there is a company that lets you drop off the car in Vigo...
Hi. I am planning on walking the Tui to Santiago stretch later this year with a very close friend who is a good deal older than me. She can manage approx 15km without too much difficulty. She would like to know how possible it is to catch a bus/taxi when she can't manage any more. She would go...
Does anyone have experience in doing the camino and at the same time using it (in the right sense of course) to raise money for charitable ends - not mine!

Can anyone tell me what the weather is like on this route in Feb/March. Not detailed obviously. But is the weather very unsettled at this time of year, is it usually very cold/windy etc, etc. Due to restrictions of time off work, I am looking at Tuy - Santiago. Also, what is the accommodation...
Hi. Am techie challenged :oops: Can someone explain to me in plain English how I post photos/video of our brilliant walk on the English camino. I can't find anywhere in the forum and am at a loss as to how to do it! I want to share some of our photos with you all and encourage you to do this...
Dear All who have helped in our planning... :D
We are setting off this morning for A Coruna and thence to Ferrol to start walking tomorrow. Its been a long time since my last camino and I can't wait to get going. :D Will share photos when I return next week.
Buen camino a todos

Hi, I have been using google maps to find the tourist information office in Ferrol. It is very unclear. If you look on the turgalicia site they too give a map but it is different to the google map one and the address doesn't seem to coincide with either map.
We are arriving in Ferrol on Monday...
I was recently given a Leki walking pole and the wrist strap which one can alter (make bigger/smaller) by pulling one end is stuck and I can't make it smaller. Short of brute force which I don't have, I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas? It is a bog standard strap which is a...
Can anyone help? A friend and I are going to do the Ingles route at the end of September. We are flying into La Coruna and bussing to Ferrol. However, I can find no info re: getting a bus from Santiago back to La Coruna. I have tried all the sites I can think of including the ones in the pilgrim...
