Hi. We’re currently in Ferrol after doing the Portugues from Porto (more on that in another post). But having extra time on our hands want to do bits of the Norte we missed by heading to the Primativo last spring. We’re taking the ferry from Santander to Portsmouth on 10/10 so have a few days to...
Hi - we fly into Madrid, arriving 6:30 am from New York on April 19. I have been on the Renfe site for weeks trying to book a train to Irun, but I've finally realized (I think) that they are doing some work that day, so I've booked tickets to San Sebastian instead. We get in at 13:24 at Amara...
Hi I've done the CF in boots, then last year in trail runners, which were fine. Now, miraculously, we're headed back to Spain to do the Norte and probably Primativo, April 19-June5. Tickets were booked watching the inauguartion (I had to do something to cheer us up). I'm thinking we want...
Sitting in Cee right now after a great Camino from St Jean in early September. Off to Fisterra tomorrow, then Muxia, then back to Santiago. Fly up to Dublin on Oct 29th ( my 71st birthday) and need a decent place to stay that night. Then fling back to NYC on Sunday. Does anyone have any good...
Hi - I live in upstate New York, but will be spending quite a bit of time again this year in Schull, West Cork. Are there any forum members located around there? I'd love to get together for a drink or a walk. Or both. I'll be over there April 5 - May 12, then again most of the summer. I...
Hi everyone - even though this is an American holiday, I think/hope it pertains to us on this forum. I want to thank Ivar and others who work/post on this site for all their input and help as I was getting ready for my camino, and then to all of those who I feel I've gotten to know over the...
My old Vasque boots fell apart outside Molinaseca, I bought new cheapish black ones (they were the most comfortable) in Ponferrada. Not one problem with them. Totally amazing. But they are a bit heavier and hotter than I'd like. Have recently tried out two pairs of Hi Tec Sienna low hiking...
Hi - I will be arriving on Thursday 5th September on the 12:27 train from Paris, getting into Bayonne at 17:58. The train for SJPDP leaves at 18:07. Can I make it, or is anyone else going to be on that train who would be interested in sharing a taxi? I'm trying to figure my options. Thanks
