    Kumano Kodo NYT article

    @Bradypus: Thank you. I actually met Johnnie in Santiago de Compostela last October. We did discuss the 88 Temple Shikoku walk. He is an incredibly spiritual individual. I think he is or was walking the St. Francis Way from Assisi to Rome.

    Kumano Kodo NYT article

    I really appreciate this timely information. I will walk the Kumano Kodo in late October after visiting Koya-san. Afterwards, I will take the train back up to Wakayama and start the 88 temple walk from Temple #1 at Ryozenji. Would like to hear of your experiences of anyone on this forum or...

    My 1st Camlno, advice please

    Hello Mike: Your itinerary is certainly ambitious. I do not know your physical conditioning, but presume you are in very good shape. I cycled from Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela with a fully (perhaps overloaded) mountain bike that I rented. My Caminho began in early September. It took me...

    Coimbra to Porto

    Hello Nici: I cycled the Caminho Portuguese from Lisbon to Santiago in September of last year.. I spent several days in Coimbra which is a beautiful town to explore as it is full of history. I revisited my journal covering the area between Coimbra and Porto. My journal notes stated that the...

    Lisbon to Santiago via Fatima (in Oct/Nov)

    Hello Pathfinder: I cycled the Caminho Portuguese from Lisbon to Santiago in September 2015. I rode both the Caminho and took side roads parallel to it while in Portugal. At Porto I took the inland route to Valenca/Tui. I decided to cycle as opposed to walking as I wanted to cover more...

    Latest Arrival Time at Orisson

    Hi Sallygardens: I hope you have reserved your spot at Orisson well in advance. There are two places run by the family (the main house and Kayola). I would recommend that you stay overnight in St. Jean. There are at least two places I can recommend, if you are interested. Both owners have...

    Cycling the Portuguese – possible itinerary

    I walked the Camino Frances last September and October. I thought I would try cycling my next Camino thereafter. Feel free to reach out at a future date.

    Cycling the Portuguese – possible itinerary

    Sorry about that I hit the wrong button: Be aware that if you are cycling a major road there is little to no shoulder. There will be a culvert as well about 1/2 meter deep. I had a heavy mountain bike which had two panniers load with about 10kgs of gear. Holding the bike steady going uphill...

    All places to sleep in one file - Coastal and Central route, Camino Portuguese

    How can I buy you dinner? Your spreadsheet is greatly appreciated. I start my Caminho Portugues during the first week of September. I have noted several places where you have stayed as they coincide with my reservations. Thank you so much for your efforts.

    A plea from a Student

    Good luck with your studies. Would like to know what your survey results show. On this Forum the results will be skewed towards our collective knowledge and love of the Camino de Santiago. You will have to statistically correct for that bias. Good luck with your own Camino adventure.

    Need update on returning to Lisbon with bicycle from Santiago via Express or Regional trains

    I have researched several threads on the Forums and checked the RENFE information site to determine if bicycles (not in a case) are permitted. I plan to cycle from Lisbon to Santiago. I have the option of dropping my bike off in Santiago to be transported back by the bike rental agency for a...

    Pilgrim Masses along the Frances Route

    There are so many rich stories to tell about the Camino. Those Australian brothers were just part of the incredible mosaic each and every one of us experience. I will be returning this September to complete the Caminho Portuguese from Lisbon. It may or may not be a replica of last...

    Pilgrim Masses along the Frances Route

    Yes. Those pals were his two brothers. I missed him at Carrion but heard him in San Juan de Ortega. Jennie, what day did you start from St. Jean Pied de Port. There were two sisters (I think) who were definitely Irish staying at the Maison Donamaria. I left St. Jean on Sept 8th.

    Thank you Peter. Good to know as I will start my Caminho Portugues in early September from Lisbon.

    Wineries on CF

    The terroirs of the Camino Frances are truly fascinating. As you walk you will note that the soil changes a lot along the CF. Some places will be predominately clay (nasty when wet), chalky (as you approach the Meseta). The micro-climates of the plains and mountainous areas of Leon and...

    Is there an albergue for sale/rent on the camino?

    One last recommendation: Before you expend any money to rent or buy an albergue why not try volunteering as a hospitalero through your local chapter of the Confraternity of St. James. You may find that after two or three weeks that managing an albergue isn't what you really thought.

    Is there an albergue for sale/rent on the camino?

    Before you contemplate buying or renting out an albergue you need to check out the medical situation if your mother will be coming with you. Last year there was a hospitalera, a Brazilian, who managed an albergue in Los Arcos. She mentioned (perhaps in frustration) that she was trying to...
