Having toyed with the idea of hiking the Tunel route in reverse at the end of my field trip I'm now contemplating doing it the 'right' way round as a precursor to joining the Frances at Burgos. This is partly because I've been alarmed by some of the reports of girt, humungeous numbers of...
Just a quick one. I'll be walking the Camino Frances in July/August for my PhD fieldwork. Before returning to the UK I'll be spending a couple of weeks hiking the Basque mountains and it makes logistical sense to walk the Camino Vasco from the Tunel to Irun from where I'll catch a train to...
I wasn't supposed to be here, I'd intended to be following the GR 123 west from Balmaseda to link up with the GR 71 and GR74 to get to Potes as part of a project to devise my own camino along the Cordillera Cantabria and end up at O Cebreiro. I started in Irun two weeks ago, spent three and a...
Interesting proposal to link the Camino Liebana from Santo Toribio to the Santuario de Covadonga utlising the Ruta de la Reconquista through the Picos. It would go on to Cangas de Onis and would join up with the Primitivo in Oviedo.
The religious/historical justification is that, according to...
Here's one for the purists. Anybody come across or even walked this route? It starts at Castellón, Valencia and joins the Ruta del Ebro at Escatrón. Distance to Zaragoza 497km. There's quite a bit of information on the internet, might do some more digging...
After 'extricating' myself from the Ruta del Ebro last Friday due to the heat - it's hard to walk across such arid territory in temperatures of 35 degrees - I took a bus from Quinto to Zaragoza then another bus to Santander from where I set out on the Norte with the intention of doing the...
Well, I finally made it to Tortosa late Saturday afternoon, having somehow managed to jump on a train from Paris Gare du Lyon to Perpignan when most inter-city trains - including my booked intercities de nuit service to Latour du Carol - had been cancelled.
Day one was a rather mad dash up the...
Just received this in the post from Jacobeo.net http://www.jacobeo.net/index.php?modulo=18, dispatched and delivered promptly. Looks great, detailed maps, text instructions, historical notes and information on accommodation. Covers the Camino Catalan from Montserrat to Logroño via Lérida and...

I posted on the Ruta del Ebro thread about following that route onto the Catalan and taking this Camino from Gallur: http://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/starting-next-week.26920/
I only discovered the existence of this route a few weeks ago; I was going to do one of the northern...
After much vacillating and ruminating over different routes I've finally opted for the Ruta del Ebro which I'll follow onto the Camino Catalan as far as Gallur. From there I intend to take the Camino Castellano-Aragones to Burgos.
I walked my first Camino - the Frances - in 2012. Pilgrimages...
What an enormous wealth of information on this website - and others; possibly too much of the stuff! I have three weeks of freedom beginning 13th June and my gut instinct is to return to the Camino(s). The question is, which one(s)?
I did the Camino Frances in 2012; I didn't always enjoy it but...
