    Strangers

    It's been 18 months since I walked the Camino. On the walk I vowed to talk to every single person I met even if it was only "hola". The result of that was that many strangers became good friends. One stranger became an incredibly good friend. An email from that former stranger led me to talk to...

    A Year to the Day...

    Well, it's really crept up on me and I never even realised until this evening but... A year ago today I was setting out to Spain. I knew virtually nothing about the Camino, I didn't know there were different routes, I had no guide book, no maps and just the clothes I stood up it. I didn't even...

    Reflections on the Camino Del Salvador

    As promised I thought I'd do a reflections on the route. I don't want to do a full trip report, more a look back at things I liked, tips or would maybe do different. First off... wow! I can't recall such amazing scenery in the space of so few days. It really was incredible, there aren't enough...

    Stupid luggage question... ALSA buses

    Hi Folks, I've only ever used trains or local buses in Spain so stupid question... What do you do with luggage on ALSA buses? Do you need to check it or get a sticker/label like you do in some countries or is it like the UK and you just turn up at the bus and sling it in the hold underneath...

    Possible daft question... Walking to Asturias Airport from Oviedo?

    Hi All, looking at my schedule I might have a day in hand at the end of the Salvador. I was thinking about things to do, maybe a bus somewhere like Gijon for the day but on looking at the map I started wondering... Is there a marked route that goes to/near Asturias airport at Aviles? It looks...

    Last stage of the San Salvador?

    Hi folks, I am planning to walk the San Salvador in late August. I'm aiming for the four day route described in the CSJ guide which should get me to Pola de Lena in three days. From there I'm having a little diversion east to climb Pena Mea and just looking at the logistics of it. The two...

    Sleeping in church porches - etiquette?

    I've heard/seen references to sleeping in church porches or on floors in various places (the current thread about full albergues for example). I walked the Frances last October and only once considered it as an option. I'm just wondering what the etiquette is? Is it Camino thing or a general...
