    The isolation of the Camino de Levante

    G Ross I am so familiar with that website. I use it all the time. But the highlights that I have flagged in my earlier post have not been captured by the Associación de Amigos del Camino de Santiago de la Comunidad Valencia. I have huge respect for the association, but developments take place...

    The isolation of the Camino de Levante

    I have just returned from another 350klm section of the Camino de Levante from Valencia and I am close to Avila. I will go back again in October and get through Zamora. I have a few observations about the Levante. The first is the almost complete isolation. I am walking it alone and I am very...

    Best time to walk Levante

    Hi Sharon. Looking at your profile, you obviously have a lot of experience walking the Camino I am going back to continue the Levante in April. I have 300 klm completed and looking forward to continuing this year. The two things that I would mention about the Levante is that it is a very quiet...

    Lines for the Compostela and Certificate for Distance

    Hi I completed the Portuguese Camino two weeks ago and had absolutely no difficulty in getting the compostela. It took me about 15 minutes. I then went on to do the Camino Ingles which I finished last week and queuing for the compostela took less than 10 minutes. So I don't think that time is...

    Which one to walk in mid October- mid November ?

    Hi Damien You clearly want some activity and company along the way. I have just completed the Portuguese (from Porto) and the Ingles after that,10 days and 5 days respectively. I see that you are travelling for a month. While the Portuguese is fantastic and busy, it's not going to fill your...

    How to take trekking poles to Spain despite airline regulations...

    I use a very simple solution. I pack my poles as normal on the outside if my backpack. Then I wrap my backpack (very well) in cellophane before flying. Never a problem in many years of flying. Protects my backpack also. A double benefit.

    Starting out....

    Hi starwonder54 I haven't done the Camino Frances. The camino that I have done are quiet and solitary. One thing that you have going for you on the Camino Frances is that you are never alone. It is the busiest of all the Camino and you will always have support and friendly pilgrims to rely on...

    Fall 2021 Via de la Plata Camino

    I started the Levante in 2019 and was due to resume on Spring 2020. Looking forward to getting back. A very quiet Camino. I covered 300 klm without meeting another Pilgrim.

    Fall 2021 Via de la Plata Camino

    That's a long trip Dodger from Australia. Have they allowed international travel yet to / from Australia. I was speaking to somebody in Spain today who told me that resturants are open in the morning for a couple of hours and the same in the afternoon, largely closed by 3.00pm in many places. I...

    Fall 2021 Via de la Plata Camino

    I have done the VdLP in April / May. The one advantage of October / November is the you should avoid intense heat. July / August could be almost impossible on that particular Camino. Somebody has already mentioned the possibility of snow in November and I couldn't comment further. I did a...

    I did a stetch in October 2019 and it was perfect. Lovely sunny weather, but not too hot.

    VdlP - Walking 2021

    Hello Dodger, yes, I have done the VdlP and it is magnificent. Of course June and July are hot, but don't underestimate May and August also. I have done some of that in May in very hot conditions. I do think, however, that May and even August might be too early from a Covid perspective. It is...

    Getting better, but still ways to go

    Thank you Ivar, very informative as usual. Nice to see Santiago and I noticed 100% compliance with mask wearing throughout, which was good. Hopefully, things will keep moving in the right direction.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Spain Announces State of Alarm until May 2021

    If autonomous regions put in local prohibition on crossing county borders, then packing a tent doesn't get round that rule. If regions don't want people entering and leaving territories, it is for good reason, the protection of the lives of their communities, including those who look after us...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Maths and Covid 19

    On a lighter note and given that this is a mathematical sub post, did you know that many of the writers on the Simpsons are mathematical geniuses. They even have Bart write up a solution to the 400 year old Fermat’s last theorem........almost!

    Detailed Stage Planning — Camino de Levante - Camí de Llevant

    Just a small deviation here to acknowledge one of our fellow pilgrims. Ella Anderson posted on Facebook's "Camino de Santiago 2020/2021" yesterday about being heart broken at the sudden and tragic death of her partner in Burgos while on the Camino from SJPD to Santiago. She said that it was with...

    Detailed Stage Planning — Camino de Levante - Camí de Llevant

    Stayed in La Posada de Chinchilla last October and I have to say that, apart from it being so beautiful and elegant, the owners there, a young Spanish couple, were so helpful and friendly. And Chinchilla itself is certainly very quaint.
