    Musical instruments on the Camino.

    I was volunteering in August at the Pilgrim Office greeting English-speaking pilgrims, I met a German man who had carried an accordion and he and the other pilgrim friends he had made had sang along the way. He played and sang for us and some Australians had brought some small handheld shakers...

    Free medical treatment for pilgrims?

    I ended up in the hospital last year with suspected DVT - I was on a drip, had blood tests and a full ultrasound of my leg to check for DVT. It ended up being an infection and I was prescribed antibiotics and strong ibuprofen. I had my EHIC card and the only thing I had to pay for was the...

    Camino Ingles - the thought of it feels a little like cheating :)

    The Ingles was my first Camino and I loved it - I did it with friends at the end of May, we didn't see many other pilgrims at all - mainly one family who we saw most days. It took us 5 days from Ferrol. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend! Buen Camino!

    Is there a way to apply on line for this? I have tried emailing the pilgrim office as it says to do, but haven't had any reply.

    Portuguese Camino... concrete all the way?

    Having just returned from CP last month Ponte de Lima to SDC was not mainly road walking - there was quite a bit of forest and cobbles although there were points when you had to cross a busy main road, which in effect we followed to SDC. In the Brierly book there are alternate routes to avoid...

    5 Questions re: our first camino - Camino Portugues

    Just returned 2 weeks ago from the Portuguese route, we started at Ponte de Lima and went up to SDC. I can't help with all the questions but in regards to the forest fires affecting the paths - they haven't. You can see where they were clearly, in the distance and some a little closer to the...

    Pilgrim Routes within UK and Ireland

    Oswald's Way in Northumberland is beautiful and there is a guidebook too. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0955380618/?tag=casaivar-21 There are recommended distances each day but you can please yourself. When we did it we picked where we wanted to stop and the tourist board in Berwick were very...

    Stage 1 question

    I agree, I also walked from Ferrol to Pontedeume and it was easier than expected. Day 2 though was tough - VERY up and down!

    signage in Sigueiro

    We had trouble as we came into Sigueiro too, our guide was telling us one thing but we were unsure as there weren't any arrows anywhere until just before we turned up a road to go past a church. We asked in a shop and were directed.

    Macs Adventures???? Anyone know anything about MacsAdventures

    We used Macs Adventures this year - we walked Ferrol to SDC. They booked all our accommodation and we had no problems with them. We had to contact them at one point and they were very helpful. A couple of the group had their luggage transferred each day (at an extra cost) which again there was...

    St Oswald's Way ~following the 7th century King/Saint in Northumberland

    I walked this from Lindisfarne to Heavenfield the opposite way to what was described above - there was only one field that we got lost on as the way marker wasn't visible and the farmer hadn't kept it as well as the rest of the way - the rest was marked fine and we had the following book from...

    Our (slow) Camino Inglés May 2015

    We arrived in time for the Pilgrim Mass on the 30th. Because of the queues and time we were meeting people we went back on the 31st about 9am for our Compostela. We then spent the day wandering around Santiago before we headed home on the 1st June.
