Pre-walk reservations made and plans coming together. Will arrive Madrid on March 4, and fly to Gran Canaria to walk 4 days. On March 8 will fly to Malaga for a 4 week Immersion Spanish adventure. On April 4 will travel to Merida where I left off on VdlP in 2017 and on April 5, commence...
Has anyone any experience good or bad with any of the immersion language courses in the various schools in Spain? I am planning on returning to Spain in early spring 2020 to complete the Via de la Plata starting from Merida where I left off in 2017. The plan is to go over early for 3 to 4 weeks...
My grand daughter and I are flying into Madrid on March 22 and plan on leaving Seville the following morning. We won't go too far as we are scheduled to be in London on April 8 and then in SJPP on April 13 for a go at the CF.
My new Arc Haul arrived today and it is something that definitely will take some getting used to. So many straps and buckles and potential adjustments. In keeping with the ultra light concept, the straps are not the robust type that I am used to. I'm pretty excited about it and anxious to get...

Recently I have seen one thread and maybe two that had some links to inexpensive bags in which to place pack for checking. Can someone point me in the right direction? My searches are not coming up with the links that I think I remember.
This app is great!! It's not just for the Camino. I'm sitting in a hotel room in Rochester MN, USA, using this app to help me decide where to have supper tonight. Thank you Ivar for a very useful app!!
Is anyone else thinking about doing this? I normally do not sign on to groups but am considering this one as the route is not as well supported as the CF and I think I will enjoy it more when I don't have to concern myself over those little survival necessities like food and shelter.
Can someone who has walked St Olav's Way tell me if there is any boulder scrambling along the Way. Anything you can tell me about the terrain would be appreciated.
