    My Camino del Salvador (May 2014)(4 days)

    A Garnin GPS watch (or something like it) is my new want-to-have-gadget for my next not so populated camino... Great map... I definitely wasn't on that camino. I crossed the river after turning left at the exit of Cascantes... Didn't wander of too far in the wrong direction though, because I...

    My Camino del Salvador (May 2014)(4 days)

    Well... It has been a few months, but I figured I should post something about my experiences on my last camino, the camino del Salvador in particular, especially the part where I got lost (or felt lost) on day 1. Haven't read anything about anyone getting lost there previously, so maybe I'm an...

    Starting saturday! Looking for a snow update

    I'm flying to Madrid on fridaymorning and taking a train to León, arriving around 18:00. So I hope to start walking to Oviedo on saturday (10/5). I would also like to visit the cathedral in León, but it doesn't open till 9:30 I think. I am thinking about maybe getting a bus out of León (never...

    Salvador - Primitivo in May 2014

    Thanks a lot everyone for all the replies! Unfortunately the link to Ender's guide does not seem to be working, but I'll keep trying! Walking poles... I only have one... and I've only ever (bought and) used it a bit on a holiday in New Zealand with a 15-16 kg pack... Don't plan on taking...

    Penis Carving on Church at O Leboreiro,Melide etapa 29

    Not a penis, but it is on the cathedral in Santiago... To be seen when taking the (guided) tour to the roof. Some kind of mason's "protest" (I went on the Spanish one, got a lot, but not all of it... Sorry!)

    Salvador - Primitivo in May 2014

    Norte in may

    Thanks viajero & Bem! Haven't walked the CF myself, just the 3 days from SJPP to Pamplona at the end of my Chemin du Puy. Somehow the Norte just appeals to me more... And I don't live downunder, wouldn't mind it though 8) Live in the Netherlands The username is a souvenir from my working...

    Norte in may

    Thanks Laurie, that's good to hear! I found in the Paco Nadal guide that there's quite a few where it's mentioned they're only open in july/august... Same on some albergue lists I got from other posts in the Norte-forum. I don't mind the occasional hotel or pension, but was just wondering if...

    Le Puy and on to the VDLP

    I walked form Le Puy to Pamplona in 37 days in 2010. I found I prefer to walk everyday, so I had no rest days. I walked every day between 14-32 km, averaged around 23km a day, not too much, but with 38-degree afternoons in August I was glad to arrive early and relax! Really beautiful! It was...

    Norte in may

    Hi all, I'm trying to decide on either CF or Norte for may 2012. All I have booked so far is a flight out of Santiago on the 30th of may. It seems that there's quite a few towns on the Norte where the albergues are only open july/august. So I'm wondering whether I would have to walk really long...

    May 2012 - pilgrimage part 2

    Hi everyone, I've started checking this forum again since I recently decided to finish my walk to Santiago in may 2012. Reading other peoples experiences and questions is really a WONDERFUL way to get in the mood! Reading all the posts from others brings back all those feelings I had last year...
