    Olavsleden accommodation and food list

    I've been meaning to post this (attachment at the bottom) for a long time. It's an accommodation/food list that I put together last year, based on information in my English guidebook, the Olavsleden trip planner, and the most up-to-date accommodation list at the time (May 2018). So I imagine...

    Non-freestanding tent?

    Hello, I have a question about the Gudbrandsdalsleden in Norway. Basically, I've been having tent troubles. (It was hard to decide on one in the first place, and then the one I ordered was heavier than the reviews said, as I guess it's been recently updated.) So a friend said he'd sell me his...

    Mosquitoes?

    Hello everyone, I'm planning to walk the Gudbrandsdalen way starting at the end of this month. I'm just wondering if there are likely be a lot of mosquitoes and/or other biting insects. I've been planning to camp, mostly, but that doesn't seem like it will be very pleasant if there are lots of...

    It's very hot on the VdlP

    Hi from Monesterio! I've been walking for five days now, and it's extremely hot--the weather is crazy, as an hospitalera told me. It's been at least high 20s (Celsius)--maybe low 30s, I'm not sure. It's quite cool in the early morning, but by afternoon it's very hot walking, though it's still...

    Pilgrim blessing in Seville

    From what I understand, if any pilgrims attend the 8:30 mass in the Capilla Mayor of the Seville Cathedral, they'll now be given some sort of special blessing. Anna-Marie

    Yesa reservoir expansion threatens the Camino Aragonés

    My Spanish isn't the greatest, but I've been following the Spanish pilgrimage news for a few months now. This is a topic I can't find anything about in English, but it seems like something pilgrims should be aware of. I think this is accurate (based on several articles and websites I've read)...

    New museum/pilgrim reception centre on the way into León

    Puente Castro, a suburb of León, just opened a reception and interpretive centre for pilgrims, located in the Church of San Pedro. The museum section focuses on local Roman, Christian, and especially Jewish history. The centre in general is described as a place to get information on León...

    Upcoming Camino memoir ... by Martin Sheen and Emilio Esteve

    Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez will be collaborating on a memoir called Along the Way, planned for publication around Father's Day 2012. It looks like it's mainly about their time together (filming) on the Camino. ** It won't let me change "Esteve" to "Estevez" in the title. I do know how to...

    First albergue on the Cádiz-Seville route

    According to a post on a Spanish forum, the first refuge on the Cádiz-Seville route is due to open tomorrow in Alcalá de Guadaíra. It's donativo, and from what I understand, is 1.5 km off the highway, but very close to town/downtown.

    Way of Saint Paul (Italy)

    Apparently there's a new walking pilgrimage route in the planning stages in Syracuse, Italy--the Way of Saint Paul, or Cammino di Sao Paulo. It will lead to Rome, but I don't think they even have a route yet. Reading a couple of articles (like this one, and this one) using Google Translate, I...

    The Way (Movie) in Dublin

    Hi all, I don't think anyone's mentioned this yet here--I noticed The Way will be playing at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival. So some of you lucky Irish pilgrims could have a chance to see it. I'm jealous! Anna-Marie

    The Harry Potter/Camino connection

    I've just discovered a missing link between Harry Potter and the Camino. Apparently, the French alchemist Nicholas Flamel walked the Camino as far as León in search of someone who could translate a manuscript (presumably written in Hebrew) for him. He found a Jewish doctor in León who...

    When to start?

    Hi all, I'm a Canadian and new to the forum, and just have a quick question. I'm planning to walk from Le Puy to Santiago this summer/fall. I was hoping to mid to late August, but I know France in August can be kind of crazy. If anyone's done this route around that time, would you recommend...
