    Porto to Santiago

    Albertinho, I'm planning on leaving Porto May 23, 2015 with some friends to do the Camino da Costa to SdC. I'm very excited that you will be walking the Vila de Arousa too to take the boat to Padron. Maybe we'll see you and your wife!

    Class of 2015

    Will be walking the Camino Portugues de la Costa (Porto do SdC)starting May 23, 2015 with a small group; then will back track and start the Camino de Invierno on June 7, 2015. God (and my feet) willing, I'll do the Camino de Finisterre starting June 19, 2015.

    Eunate Church - The essential detour

    The Eunate Albergue won't be open in 2013? Darn, I was really hoping to make a stop there, but will go through anyway to see it since I didn't due to blisters in 2011.

    Hotel rooms rather than hostels?

    One of the things that I enjoyed most about my Camino in 2011 was the variety of people and all the different experiences that they had. I met some who were on a tight budget and stayed in the least expensive albuerges and cooked their own food. I met others who were on "tours" and had their...

    From Guadalajara Mexico to Camino Frances- May 2013

    Sharon, tambien voy a caminar in mayo. Tal vez nos veremos! Voy a empezar 17 de mayo en Pamplona o Zubiri o tal vez SJPP. Es mi segundo Camino, el otro fue en 2011!

    Which Spanish dialect do we use on the Camino?

    Kudos to my fellow peregrinos on the wonderful explanation of Spain and the regional languages. In 2011 I was on the Camino Frances with my brother and nephew who speak very basic Spanish. They did fine and were able to get what they needed to travel well. Other pergrinos that I met had no...

    Class of 2013

    Trish, I hope that you decide to come on the Camino in 2013. Too bad that your partner can't come, but you should come anyway. I went on the Camino in 2011 with my brother and nephew, we all split up after the 2nd day or so for a variety of different reasons. That left me on my own, a woman...

    To cross Pyrenees or not?? Experienced walker?

    Not too much more to add that hasn't been said already, but you're going to have a blast! I went from SJPP to Roncesvalles in 1 day and feel so happy that I accomplished it. I had been so worried that I couldn't do it! This was in mid-May 2011. My only problem is that I didn't drink enough...

    where to fly into? how to get to SJPDP?

    I'm flying in to Madrid from Seattle via NYC mid May. This is my 2nd Camino and I'll probably take a train to Pamplona and start from there. Buen Camino, hope to see ya there!

    Should I use insoles?

    I think that everyone's different. I like to have insoles for any of my shoes. I'll be on the Camino May/June and plan on taking 2 sets of insoles to change out every other day. I was on the Camino in 2011 and found that it was really important to have my feet in as good of condition as...

    Tickets Bought! May - June 2013

    Congrats! I might be on the Camino when you are too! I arrive in Madrid on 5/16 and will take the train to Pamplona. From there I'll either start in Roncesvalles, Zubiri or Pamplona on 5/17. I was on the Camino in 2011 and did fairly well, but only did a total of 250 miles. As my name...

    Rest stop adviice

    Great! My pack in 2011 weighed too much for me and I'm hoping to do better in 2013. 5kgs would be wonderful. I'm already wearing it each day with about that amount and walking a bit too and from work as possible. We're in the same age group and I don't plan on stopping my Camino's until I'm...

    Rest stop adviice

    Thanks Jen for this message. I was on the Camino in 2011 and felt that for many people it was a race. In fact, I almost got run over by a guy when I stopped 15 feet in front of him since he was just concentrating on the path and nothing else. Everyone does the Camino in their own way, but I...

    Tickets Bought! May - June 2013

    Hi Mark, I'll be arriving Madrid May 16 and hope to leave from Pamplona or Zubiri or Roncesvalles (haven't decided yet) on May 17. See you on the Camino! :wink:

    Class of 2013

    Will be flying into Madrid on May 16, 2013 and plan to start from either Pamplona, Zubiri or Roncesvalles on May 17. So far on my own, but had such wonderful experiences in May/June 2011 that I know that I'll meet more people. Have to fly back on July 3. Very excited! :P
