It is a bit saddening to see so few out and about on Christmas Eve Day in SdC, The day is full of such anticipation for Christians - many of whom are pilgrims.
I suppose some may not appreciate me posting the question, but I'm interested to know why folks continue to return to the CF when there are other routes to experience? I don't think I am asking for any reason that is intended to be critical; I am aware that pilgrims travel under different...
One of the things that I have been "least good" at doing was researching items of the palate that I need to enjoy while I am pilgriming about. I read, in an email from a fellow forum member (and quite the host in Lisbon and promoter of the Portugal Interior route - " amsimoes " on this blog)...
Perhaps someone who pilgrimed the La Plata can help me. In September (2014) I started in Viseu (Portugal - Interior) and joined La Plata at Verin on my way to SdC. After leaving Ourense (climbing the longest hill ever.... - and some think O Cebreiro is difficult) I ran across "Caesar" at Casa...
I just finished the Portuguese - Interior route and didn't get a picture of the "Casa de Cesar"... If someone has one and would share it with me, please send it to:

I had a "brain cramp" and just didn't get a picture to go with my picture of "Casa de Tomas" (the last of the...
I have completed the Interior route and will post some thoughts and "findings" in a few days (ok, maybe a few weeks since I just got home). My first post is to ask a question of some thoughtful pilgrim. Is there anyone who could send me a picture of Casa de Cesar? I had a "brain cramp" and...
Please advise me about fountains or water availability especially if you've recently walked from Lisbon to SdC (2014). On my Frances' journey fountains were quite frequent. I've read Brierly and he seems to say that water is less frequent. What's the latest? What are the alternatives to...
My situation is such that I now only have about 24 days in late August - early September to walk the Camino Portuguese. I want two days in Santiago and will likely only do 20 km or so for the first several days. I need at least one day to acclimate as I come from the USA. I defer to the...
Likely Diego will quickly answer this one. I understand that the electrical outlets are simply two round holes about 1 inch / 2.5c apart and parallel to the ground, the same as Germany. Is that correct?
I've heard the various situations concerning bed bugs. As I've noted before (y'all were helpful about communications), I'm going to do Camino Portuguese in September 2014. My latest "fixation" is about bugs - well, insects. Traveling in the late summer, early fall should bring me what kind of...
Pilgrims,
I will be on Camino from Lisbon to Santiago in September 2014. I completed the French route 4 years ago and used an iphone (USA type) ... It was expensive to text message. My friend purchased a cheap phone and minutes which were as expensive.
Question 1: What is the least...
