    New Camino Movie -The Way My Way - World Premiere

    Yes! Opens here on May 16th. I saw the trailer when at the cinema recently, it looks like it will be a good one.

    Do you need to stay at an albergue to access their luggage transfer service?

    Bag transfer services can collect from all types of accommodation, not just albergues. Check with the transfer services whether they will pick up from your accommodation - or with the accommodation provider. There are several such services, eg Correos, the Spanish postal service, see...

    Life-size Bronze Statues

    I love the ones in Burgos, just doing everyday things. This is my favorite.

    stopping in Uterga

    I've stayed twice at Albergue Camino del Perdon and highly recommend it.
  5. GettingThere

    A long (winding) road.

    Heading towards Los Arcos, CF, September 2017 (grape harvest!)

    trailhead in Lorca Spain

    For the sake of completeness I feel I should add that there is a Camino route through Lorca in Murcia, the Ruta del Argar, but the OP did mention they are heading for the Camino Francés.

    trailhead in Lorca Spain

    @CaminoFitz - just in case you didn't know, there are two places in Spain called Lorca, a long way apart! Make sure you're heading to the right one. I only mention this because the Lorca which has a train station (Lorca in Murcia) is not the one on the Camino Francés (Lorca in Navarra). If you...

    LIVE from the Camino Struggling with doubt on the Camino Frances

    See post #131 above!

    Are you a hiker or a walker?

    This may be my favourite Forum post of all time!

    🚄 New high speed train Madrid Oviedo

    Generally trains are only listed 1-2 months ahead. You may see the odd one longer ahead than that, but mostly the bookings (and therefore trains listed) are not released until a month or two before travel dates. Timetables don't change a lot though, so you can get an idea of the times for your...

    Menu del dia - options to customize?

    @JustJack my Camino buddy on three Caminos (my mother) is vegetarian and likes salads, and always ordered them without tuna (sin atún). This never even raised an eyebrow, it was no problem. She just asked for the "ensalada mixta sin atún, por favor", if ensalada mixta was on the menu (I don't...

    possible town to stop in between Los Arcos and Najera

    Another vote for Viana and Navarrete. We stopped at both, they are both very pleasant towns. Mind you, we stopped at Logroño as well - we're not fast walkers!

    Last night I learned I snore...

    This is so true! A hotel room can be a great way to get a peaceful night's sleep, but definitely not always. I remember one night on the Francés - Palas de Rei I think - when I was sitting up in bed reading and wondered about a soft, rustling sound I could hear. I eventually realized it was the...

    Backpack transport

    Our even if they have, @edandverna you will find the Correos labels/envelopes at your accommodation along with those of other companies, and you can write the details on those. If you haven't already booked the next stages with Correos you can do so online or by phone. They have English speakers...

    Do you miss it?

    I thought this looked familiar - it originated here way back in 2011, but has bumped up again every few years: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/how-to-feel-like-you-are-on-the-camino-without-leaving-home.11398/ (The OP on the original thread did say he was happy for it to be...

    Luggage transfer by Correos

    Ahhh thanks Trecile! That's great to know.

    Luggage transfer by Correos

    Hi @Cfran_sg - you can definitely do more stages and pay the same, that's one of the things about Correos that I liked - their pricing benefits slower walkers! They have a set fee for a distance (eg your León to Santiago), and that's what you pay if you book that whole stretch, no matter how...

    Quieter Routes to SDC: Departing from the CF

    This isn't a helpful reply for you, @MARSKA but I just wanted to say I love this sort of thread! I'll be watching the replies with great interest, dreaming and looking at maps!

    Brands of clothing (merino wool)

    Good question @VNwalking . Brands that make a point of avoiding wool from mulesed sheep should mention this on their website - eg Icebreaker https://www.icebreaker.com/en-nz/our-story/why-choose-icebreaker-merino.html (scroll down to the large numeral 5). And - not that I'm a proud Kiwi or...

    Afghans on trees

    This brings back memories! I had to dig out this photo, taken in Cacabelos in 2015 - this was the first time I'd seen anything like this.
