    Spanish courses in Spain; Recommendations?

    Can anyone highly recommend an intro, fast track Spanish course, anywhere in Spain? I took Spanish lessons years ago, but was waylaid by learning Dutch, and couldn't cope with both simultaneously. Given how much time I have enjoyed walking in Spain, my Spanish language level is embarrassing. I...

    Some suggested updates to the Camino Mozarabe guide

    Our suggestions for updates to the Mozerabe Guide 1.Ocaña: We had some trouble finding the albergue. Keep following the Camino route and look for the blue albergue marker beside the church. The street name is different from what's in the guide - it's called Calle Machero. 2.Dólar: There is a...

    LIVE from the Camino On the Mozarabe: A beautiful and sometimes challenging route

    We are on day 9 of the Mozarabe and using Finding Penguins for the first time. So much tech now, compared to our first Camino in 2007, and not always easy to navigate on a little phone. I have made the link public for the duration of our walk as that seems much easier to access. Will post...

    Sellos... More important than certificates

    Sharing the poster we made from our pilgrim passports for our second CF in 2013. The sellos are sadly fading. The important thing is that we have had them hanging on the wall for the past decade as a visible reminder of our wonderful journeys. Our CF completion certificates, on the other...

    Current resources for the Camino Mozårabe

    My partner and I have decided to walk the Mozarabe, beginning in early February. I reached out to forum members and received a lot of very helpful responses, plus did a bit of research on my own. Thought it might be helpful to consolidate some of the more useful resources here. I will post...

    Where to walk in February?

    We are keen on walking again soon, and mostly focusing on beginning in the south-east of Spain for weather reasons. We have 4-6 weeks, and are open to cobbling together all or portions of numerous routes. We have been thinking about beginning on the Mozarabe, but the Levante from Valencia...

    Tales from the Via Serrana, January 2023.

    My partner and I have recently completed most of the Via Serrana, so I will contribute some general comments about the experience. It is a relatively little used route, and it’s important to give it a bigger profile on the forum. First, thanks very much to @jungleboy (this forum), the Johnnie...

    Australian family?

    We are walking the Via Serrana. Chatted with a bar owner who spoke with great fondness about an Australian family he met on the Francais who sung happy birthday to him on his birthday and whenever they saw him after that. He placed his hand over his heart when he spoke about them. I know that...

    Where to walk in December 2021?

    Hello All: Like most of you, we are ready to get out of the house and start walking again. We have about a month to walk, beginning the second week of December 2021. We are thinking about the Mozarabe because it is in the south, but of course there is the impact of altitude on climate that we...

    Plantar Fasciitis

    I am interested in hearing how people have successfully overcome plantar fasciitis. I have tried numerous different shoes and boots (Hokas do help somewhat), special orthotics, Strassburg socks, athletic therapy, and seeking out soft surfaces and avoiding hard, but it keeps re-occurring. I...

    Camino Portugues costal with crossover at Viana do Castelo

    Hi there, we are planning to do the Camino Portuguese this spring with two of our best friends. We ourselves have done a few 'walkabouts' but we look forward introducing our friends to the magic we keep finding again and again. Because of my partner issues with her feet we want to avoid...

    How to avoid hard surfaces on the Camino Portugues

    Hive Mind: It seems that the CP has many possible routes, and I need to find a way to avoid hard surfaces as much as possible. I have walked a number of Caminos in Spain, including the VdlP last spring, and my feet have generally coped well. However, last September my partner and I decided to...
