    Which route between Caminha and Tui?

    Doing research for my upcoming Camino, I want to connect from coastal to central in Caminha. According to JB the ecopista is pleasant along the river, but I notice Stingy Nomads recommend the original route. Any thoughts? Obrigada!

    Should I stay or should I go?

    After taking the boat on Espiritual, I’m trying to decide if I should stay in Padron or keep going? I’m kind of leaning towards staying closer to SdC so we can attend pilgrim mass next day, I think it’s 11 or noon…but I’ve been already 3x and maybe Padron is worth spending time in? Not a life...

    Recommendations for Armenteira

    I was hoping of staying at the monastery but am not comfortable without knowing if I have a bed til I arrive. Then I wanted to book Posada Armenteira, a friend stayed last year and it looks lovely, however it’s not available. I saw Vila Flor but don’t really like the reviews. Villa Laredo looks...

    I'm back....and didn't plan to be! :)

    I walked from SJPdP in 2012, then did a few partial Caminos, did the Frances by bike last year, but never planned to walk again, I have had failed knee surgery so it's difficult. Recently I came across my backpack in the garage, and considered donating it. But apparently the Camino isn't done...

    Fun to run into another forum member

    Day 4 today, since we’re bicigrinos who started in Burgos. Currently in Astorga. After leaving Castrojeriz the other morning I got my heart racing by that ride to the top at alto Mostelares. Just upon arriving I realized I recognized the family nearby, first noticed their Queen Elizabeth flags...

    Astorga-Molinaseca in the rain?

    Hi I’m spending the night now in Astorga and have a room booked for Molinaseca tomorrow. Getting concerned since the weather for both Poncerrada and Molinaseca show rain forecast then. Has anyone ridden down that section in rain? I am already a little apprehensive about the steepness and now...

    Pre-Camino jitters?

    We left off in Burgos 3 years ago, after cycling from Roncesvalles, I thought I was done, but it turns out I’m not! Even though my husband and I completed our original Camino 10 years ago as peregrinos, we’re returning this Saturday to Burgos to go to Santiago as bicigrinos. I’ve been...

    Biking in the rain

    planning to begin in Burgos 4jun. I’m hoping there won’t be lots of rain but who knows? When I walked I carried a poncho but I don’t think that will be practical on a bike. I was planning just a rain jacket. Will that be enough? What do you recommend. Gracias!

    Aqua para beber- drinking water

    When we walked in 2012 I used all the fountains found throughout the Camino. Usually I assumed it was good for drinking, filling up water bottles. Is this still the case? Does anyone have any reason to do otherwise? Thanks, just thinking ahead…

    Trying to figure out best bike route

    I’m starting in Burgos and would like to ride as close to the Camino as possible without annoying peregrinos, so hopefully along the road nearby. I’ve consulted different sites and am confused. For example ridewithgps shows taking the Camino between Hornillo del Camino and Hontanas, however the...

    Will we be met with scorn or equanimity?

    Sorry to sound so dramatic but I’m not sure how I’ll be received on this forum, and in June, the Camino Frances. My husband and I plan to ride Ebikes from Burgos to Santiago. Originally we began from Roncesvalles in 2019. After 5 days I have to admit I gave up. I tried to blame it on my...

    Can’t figure out windy maps!!

    I’m not super tech savvy but didn’t think I was completely useless til now. I discovered Windy maps and it seems ideal for my bike Camino on the Frances. The problem I encountered: I downloaded a local map and a Spanish one just to get familiar, neither one opens. I have an iPhone 7, even looked...

    Reluctant Husband

    If you were here 7 years ago you may have seen my post, I was planning my first Camino and my husband was being difficult. He didn’t want me to go alone, yet he didn’t want to go either. I got lots of encouragement, especially Rebekah in Moratino. When we finished in Santiago we both agreed it...

    Do you like the Mike Wells book?

    I ordered and just received it, planning to start my Camino in 3 weeks. I am a little disappointed and wondering if this book was helpful for other bicigrinos.? I have walked the Camino and want to ride it where it’s possible but without a mountain bike. It seems his book is either a guide to...

A little background. My husband and I are infrequent riders, maybe 2-4 times a month, 5-10 miles. We walked from...

    Need name of albuergue near Triacastela. ..Please help

    We walked Camino Frances 2 years ago. Now our friends are on stage 5 and we plan to meet them in Triacastela and walk to Finesterre. One of my favorite rest stops was maybe 3-5 miles before Triacastela. Sat in a beautiful peaceful spot in the garden. They served food too and rented rooms...

    Worried about my husband...

    I've been wanting to do this for more than 10 years, and after my husband and I saw "the Way" it reinforced my desire to walk El Camino. Unfortunately he is a workaholic, altho he works for himself, he says he can't be gone for a month. Even tho he agreed to travel with me, I'm quite nervous...
