    Cycling the Portuguese Camino

    My wife and I did the French Way some years back from Pamplona. We hired bikes from BikeIberia (Lisbon) I think. They were excellent, delivering bikes/panniers to Pam, and picking our big bags and shipping them to out hotel in SdC, which we arrived to find 14 days later. We just needed to...

    Accommodations along the way for Camino Frances

    Thanks Trecile, for this link to Gronze. I'm in Australia looking at Gronze on my PC and it's very user friendly, even being able to translate to English, but if I were to be in Spain on my next camino, how would that work. Do I need to download an app? and , is there a need to pay for a Gronze...

    Sahagun worth it for tourism?

    Yes, correct. The church was closed for siesta mid afternoon, but re opened later. The nuns were very helpful and gracious. The halfway certificate was worth the wait, it's a lovely document. While it was being prepared, we were able to look around the church and see a wonderful b and w...

    Where can I change to the Spanish Sim Card on CF?

    That suggestion of keeping phone on airplane mode is great, hence avoiding costly surprises when you get home. My friend Spanish Ray is returning to Spain after many years in Australia. He recommended I get WhatsAp so we can communicate after he gets back home. Wifi is all you need for that and...

    Corazon Puro Returning?

    Exactly the same experience for me. I met a Dutch couple on bikes, they were heading back to Holland. They told me to have a look behind the church at Ibaneta, (just before Roncesvalles) and they were thinking I would get a laugh and the end of a tiring day crossing the Pyranees. This is them on...

    Comment by 'Peter Aulbury' in media 'The climb up to the Meseta from Castrojerez - a great way to start the day!'

    I did that hill early morning through fog and mist only to come out on top of the cloud into beautiful clear sky, looking down on the misty valley below.

    Mail trekking poles to SJPP?

    Hi, I disassembled my poles and they fitted neatly in my backpack. They became 4 aluminium tubes which were just long enough to go inside. I checked my pack in and that was that....or so I thought. Unfortunately, after flying from Sydney-Dubai-Barcelona, I was met with an airline official with...

    Avoiding the breakfast trap?

    I get it about the large orange juice, coffee with milk and the spud tortilla, but what is the napoletano?

    Pictures that show you totally outside your comfort zone on the Camino!

    It was my first Camino in 2014, by bike. Rain was on the Meseta and the clay stuck to my bike tyres like riding through peanut butter. Not a tree in site, not a twig or stick to be found. I had one splayd (a spork) that helped to flick out the clay. It was like this for kms and the only respite...

    New Knees - User Experiences Please

    I am 65 and had my (L) total; knee replacement a year ago, my right one was worse, it was done (tkr) a year before that. Prior to my knee replacements I walked from StJPdP to Santiago in 40 days (with 2 rest days), that was in 2015. It was difficult for me going down hill without much cartiledge...

    Walking after knee surgery?

    I cycled Cf in 2014 and walked it in 2015. Since that time have had 2 TKR's ( a year apart) feel really well now and am looking forward to walking my 3rd Camino in the not too distant future.

    Walking Poles- Emperors new clothing in stick form ?

    I couldn't agree more, my poles were my constant companions. I bought new rubber "tap ons" at Pamplona from Caminoteca...but they wore thru by Santiago. I think Don Camillo is pulling our leg as they say in Australia...poles are essential for anyone with gammy knees, and oh, by the way in 2...
