    VdlP - Albergue tracking during Covid

    Hello all, This may be a figment of my imagination. I have a vague, (age-related?) memory of reading here that someone was in the process of collecting information directly from albergues along the VdlP about their Covid re-opening plans/intentions. Having scoured the forum for that...

    Bus - Salamanca to El Cubo -Sunday

    Hello, Asking here as a last resort. Try as I might I can't find reliable information on how to get by bus from Salamanca to El Cubo de Tierra del Vino on a Sunday. All the usual searches including using the Salamanca Bus Station website are leaving me without an answer. It's as if El Cubo...

    Free book

    Hello, I was given a copy of Hape Kerkeling's book "I'm off then" in English as a Christmas gift. I've read it, enjoyed and would like to pass it on. He walked from SJPDP to SDC. If anyone in the UK would like it, PM me your details and I'll send it to you. Buen Camino

    Get your teeth into this question.

    I was knocked back by a question asked by a married couple of friends of mine who are challenged in an orthodontist way. They both use full sets of false teeth and both want to walk a Camino. They asked me for advice about caring for themselves (and their oral hygiene) during a 3-4 week Camino...

    VldP planning? This may be helpful

    I'm planning my next Camino and it looks like the VdlP at the moment. I enjoy Spring-time walking, wherever I am. Sadly, this Spring on the VdlP is too soon for me for a lot of reasons. I'm not a great lover of hot-weather walking so I've researched the VdlP at other times of the year. I came...

    A sharing of caring

    Hello, This is a post to possibly help others. I've thought long and hard about the wording of this post, mainly because I found it hard to find the words that would not make it read like a "poor little John, let's all feel sorry for him" post. This year I walked the Portuguese Senda Litoral...

    Read so much about it, have to go.

    Hi all, I simply wanted to make all those who have done it before jealous, and let you know that I am starting the Senda Litoral from Porto on the 24th of this month. I get to Porto about 1700hrs so first stop will be Matoshinos via the River Duro,,,, yummy:). If time permits I'll pop up to...

    Senda Litoral - profile?

    Hello everyone, Later this month I'll be walking the Senda Litoral (and perhaps the Variante Espiritual) before getting onto the Camino Ingles. For lots of reasons my training since June this year has been 'minimal'. I know the Senda Litoral pretty much follows the coast-line to the North...

    Is this the question there is no answer for?

    Apart from family, friends and loved-ones , who is the one person who has inspired you to plan, prepare for, walk and complete your Camino? Buen Camino

    Albergue Ponte Ferreira - good stay

    Hello, In my recent Camino Primitivo blog in this section I was clumsy with a part of my writing. It read as though I was being critical of this Albergue. I wasn't. I've amended that part of my blog. I found nothing wrong with this Albergue. Buen Camino
