    Busy in Urdax

    I just wanted to say there’s nine of us here at the monastery’s albergue tonight! I didn’t see anyone walking during the day but here they all are. I had bought supplies for dinner in Dantxarinea, the border town just before Urdax, but others had nothing so there was a scramble to order...

    Sellos on the Senda Littoral

    Can anyone comment on how easy/difficult it is to find sellos on the Senda Littoral route? As it's not a way-marked camino, and how I'm imagining I'll be staying in hostals or pensions for much of the time, will I have a problem to find places to stamp my credencial?

I have been in the albergue in Nájera volunteering for a week. IT IS COLD! Today the high will be...

    Detour after Grimaldo

    About 6km (?) past Grimaldo, whether you take the deviation to the albergue there or not, you will come across 2 gates: one pointing straight ahead with one yellow arrow, and one off to the left with LOTS of arrows as well as a sign advertising the Casa Rural in Riolobso. Take this left...

    Detour to Valladolid on Madrid route

    I'd like to detour off to see Valladolid, and wonder if anyone has suggestions on the best town on the Camino de Madrid to depart from? In looking at a map, it looks like there might actually be a way-marked path to walk from Puent Duero to Valladolid - any info? I know there are several towns...

    Final stage on the Madrid route

    I'm starting the Camino de Madrid on the 30th and am reviewing the route & my notes. I read a post a while ago that says one doesn't have to take the route thru Melgar and Duenas, but can go to Villada instead where there is a large (unused) albergue. Has anyone done this? Is there a...

    How to search on the Forum

    Hi, I'd like to think that I'm not too technologically-challenged, but I can't quite seem to figure out how to search for posts/information on the Forum. For example, I'm looking for posts where people made Madrid hotel suggestions, so I put "Madrid hotel" in the search bar, but it came back as...

    Updated Madrid accommodation?

    Hi, I'm flying into Madrid at the end of April 2011 to walk the Camino de Madrid. I'm arriving just after Easter, and I'd like to make a hotel/hostal reservation soon as I think that time will be very busy. As far as I could tell, it's been awhile since people posted their recommendations...

    Apparently a camp chair and this sleeping sack have just won the Good Housekeeping Stamp of Approval (in USA, a group that tests product claims for authenticity, reliability and truth-in-advertising). Hard to find too much about the sack online yet http://www.pitchengine.com/insectshield ...
