Any suggestions on the best way to get from Dublin to the Primitivo? Looking into walking this coming September as I skipped the Primitivo during my Norte last summer.
Thanks!

Subject: Northern Arizona Pilgrims: Let's Get Together!
Whether you’re an experienced pilgrim, or are yet to experience your Camino, does the idea of bringing the spirit of the Camino to our area by getting together with fellow pilgrims during the year for outings, hiking, Camino presentations...
Departed from Irun June 1, 2012 and arrived July 6th in Santiago. I followed the Norte all of the way with an overnight visit to Oviedo. So happy I walked the Norte for my second trip to the Spain Caminos. Also walked part of the Vezelay Camino July 8th to July 24th. What a great summer!

While I cannot say enough great things about the location right behind the Cathedral, the lovely grounds and full breakfast I cannot find anything positive to say about the front desk staff.
They are so very rude and just a while ago I watched them bring a German woman to tears. They seem very...
A very wet hello to all. I have made it to Ribadesella I 19 days with only two days of complete sunshine. The rain and mud has been torrential and unrelenting :)
Still the sun shined during my stay on the beach in Santander and Comillas. Both days were complete bliss.
Albergues have run from...
I just received my Northern Camino guidebook today! :) In starting to read the book I have a few questions I am hoping the Norte Pilgrims can answer.
1. It looks like I will need to stay in some Youth Hostels. Do I need to purchase a membership to be eligible to stay the night?
2. I am...
Well two weeks from today I leave the US for Madrid then bus to Irun! Still no guidebook (I think it will still arrive in time) and feels so strange that I knew every step of CF and CP as I had studied the guidebooks so much, but know too little about the Norte for my comfort level.
At least...
I am planning my second Camino after completing the Camino Frances October 2012. I have the ability to go anytime from March 1st 2013 but need to return no later than May 6th.
If I did a trip in April would you veterans of the Camino recommend Frances or Norte during April? I am fit enough I...
I just completed my first day Porto to Vilarinho. Very hard and no other pilgrims. I am a Casa Laura a gem of a place, perhaps the best of my two caminos. At the cafe next door, Cafe CJ with another kind owner who has fed me an excellent meal and is very kind.
I hope the road is easier...
I managed to walk from St. Jean to Santiago without a bedbug.lNow in Santiago I have at least 90 bites and seem to have more popping up each hour.
Is it possible to be bit during the day while walking?
Is there anything more I can do other than what I have done already I washed all of my...
Hi all, after a fabulous three week trip to Santiago I had the pleasure yesterday of receiving my Compostela and attending mass at the Cathedral.
I have another three weeks to go and after walking to Fisterra and Muxia I would like to do a 10 day trip on the Portuguese route back to Santiago...
I started my walk in St. Jean on the 19th and will unexpected will meet a friend from the USA. She only has 10 days and I have decided to skip ahead and go to Santiago with her then after my friend leaves Santiago I will return to Burgos and walk the Meseta as I want to experience this and do...
As of today I only have one month to go before departure for my Camino!
As I have spent the last 5 months getting ready for this trip I have learned so much from this forum and the many fine folks that have lent their experience and wisdom from past Camino's. "Thank you" does not seem enough...
Walking the Camino September 10th 2012
I have made up my mind to walk the Camino this September and October. Going solo which is what I want as I hope it gives me to think and reflect. Many of my family and friends are shocked at my choice to leave my job and do this adventure as 50+ year old...
I need to book my flight from the US and am giving myself 6 weeks to walk the Camino Frances with a little extra time for my lack of long distant walking/hiking.
Not a fan of great heat so wondering if starting at the end of September is better than beginning of September? Want to make sure it...
