    Bed bugs?

    Hi All - just had a conversation with someone about bed bugs. Any tales to tell, tips/advice please - his experience was most unpleasant and it was in a small hotel, not an albergue?

    The last priests left Herbon -- but they are back!

    As a visitor to Padron for some years and the first grower in the UK of Pimientos de Padron in 2004, I am so, so sad to learn of this news. I wish more could be done to protect this beautiful, peaceful and historic location - is no where safe any longer? Below, a photograph of our crops...

    Should I?......

    Hi Nancy - thank you for your lovely message. I was actually in Valderrey/Astorga from 25th June to 3rd July this year and it was stunning - that was my first look at the Camino. I take your point about the weather in May and concur - my friends in Valderrey would send me weekly updates of...

    Should I?......

    Thank you freeflyer123 - how wonderful - put me to shame now! I love the camaraderie that is created by a simple Path - I've just returned from walking my dog across the fields looking at the barley and wheat, imagining I was in Spain - except of course the weather now, here in England, is not...

    Should I?......

    This is wonderful advice - thank you so much. As I need to be back in Valderrey for 27th May, I can work my route from your advice. I know the Galicia region well, having been the only grower/producer of Pimientos de Padron in the Uk from 2004 onwards - my visits to Galicia to ensure I...

    Should I?......

    Dear fellow walkers - what can I say except a MASSIVE THANK YOU! Your warmth and readiness to offer help, advice and encouragement knows no bounds. It appears you are all correct - once the Camino gets into your 'head' it never leaves. I take on board all you say and feel humbled by the fact...

    Should I?......

    Hello all - a little bit of help is needed please. I have this incredible desire to walk some, part, a few steps, hundreds of kilometers of the Cameno and yet, I don't know why? The urge is terrifying but the desire fills me with warmth? "You won't know why you walk the Camino, until you...
