    Good Restaurants

    Did you eat in that fabulous restaurant in St Paul en Born or however I should spell it? I stayed in the refuge there and across the road was that restaurant. Fond memories of great food and superb wine.

    Would you still walk the Camino if you could not access the Internet ?

    I never take a smart phone and rarely if ever go online to check emails or anything. I print off a couple pages of maps and another couple of very basic information and have walked several routes both alone and with somebody. I wouldn't have it any other way but that's just me.

    Leaving in 6 days! help!

    Rela Relax and enjoy. I fell in love with the Camino the moment I started walking the first time and want to walk it for the rest of my life.

    What souvenir(s) did you bring back from the Camino?

    First time a tattoo with a shell and an arrow. The second time I met the man I later married. The third time we bought our wedding rings in Santiago...

    General Sureste blurb and updated contacts.

    My husband walked the Sureste before we met (on the Camino...) He used the Spanish guidebook although he is Dutch (and I am English). We are going to walk this Camino together in autumn 2015 and intend writing a non-profit making guidebook in English, for our love of the Camino. When it is...

    Walking through town and cities...

    Yes, I agree with that. I just do a bit of homework before I leave and jot it on my route planner. One small point that I could have written was that I have never heard of a pilgrim who was so lost in a city that they had to stop their Camino or turn back or any such thing. It may be difficult...

    Walking through town and cities...

    I find that is always easy to get lost in cities. However, I try to keep in mind our good fortune. We have those precious yellow arrows whereas folks from years gone by hadn't. Think of the pilgrims of many years gone by. No guide books either. You can ask people in the streets or aim for the...

    Advice needed for first-time camino

    I would strongly suggest that you try to think of all the positive point rather than concentrating on what you can't do and all the possible difficulties. That should be a good start in my own humble opinion. Write a list of all the reasons you want to walk the Camino and the plus points like...

    Suggestion for women on the camino

    Me too. I always have my whistle. It also acts as an aid when I am walking with somebody-if we separate the signals are simple. A short whistle means OK. That can be a question or an answer. If my walking partner whistles he is saying that he is OK or asking if I am. The reply is the short...

    So sad

    I have no hesitation in walking the Camino alone-it changed my entire life. I don't even live in the same country as I did when I first walked it in 2012. Take the usual precautions you do in life. Standard practice. I will be walking the Sanabres alone this November and have nothing but...

    Borres - is this albergue really that bad?

    Borres is fine-basic and (note: I am not saying BUT) fine. We stayed there without regret-and there is now a bar in the hamlet that opens early and does sandwiches, even on a morning. We had our own food for the evening we stayed.

    VDLP/ Sanabres memorable meals

    Rionegro del Puente has an amazing restaurant approximately 3km after he village. I stayed in Rionegro just to go here and although the walk seemed ridiculous after a fairly hefty day on the Camino it was WELL worth it and we were offered a lift/ride back to the albergue by the owner. The most...
