    Walking the Salvador, starting June 26th

    The 19 km on Day 3 was what my tracking apps were telling me I walked. It could be that I did some detours as I tried to see a church that was closed and headed off for second breakfast, or that the route was detoured due to some construction that was going on (see other threads). Or it could be...

    Albergue Alojamiento Rural

    I stayed there last year and liked it, but I think I slept in a bottom bunk and neither paid attention to the top bunks nor took a photo. I did a Google search for the albergue and then switched to the "Images" tab. There were a number of photos of the bunks from either Gronze or Ray y Rosa's...

    LIVE from the Camino Caminó Primitivo 4/2024

    I passed it by, too. Next time for sure. Salvador/Primitivo is certainly a Camino I will repeat.

    LIVE from the Camino Caminó Primitivo 4/2024

    If you do take the Hospitales route, that may be a place to take more water. There is 15-20km between fountains.

    Little sculptures

    Yet another one from the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, October 2018.

    Small juicer, vegetarians and heating element?

    I will leave it to others more knowledgeable than I to comment on the availability of vegetarian or vegan food on the Caminos. In terms of a portable heating element for making tea and coffee at off hours, this has come up more than once on the forums. Just fo a search on "coil". There are quite...

    What do you wash your clothes with

    This to someone who responded to your: I guess you weren't so interested.

    Best app to accurately record distances, elevation and descent per day

    I've been recording the routes that our local Camino walking group takes each week. I had been using Strava but I found out you can't do much with what you record without a paid subscription. Pretty much all I could do was take a screenshot of the map of the walk to share with the group. More...

    Best app to accurately record distances, elevation and descent per day

    That was the way it used to be, but when I tried to use it for my Camino last year, it seemed to be basically unusable without a paid subscription.

    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    Here in Canada, holiday and vacation have different but overlapping meanings - at least in my dialect. Both refer to times when you aren't working. Holidays are days when work shuts down and you get time off. They aren't usually much more than a week and often (but not always) originally had...

    Nervous about going alone, without my partner

    Leaving aside discussion of WOACA, I will note that a new Facebook group...

    What are your favorite Camino misspellings on the forum?

    ... and a noun is a person, place or thing. Sorry, Schoolhouse Rock flashbacks.

    What are your favorite Camino misspellings on the forum?

    I can't agree  with you on this. Not because I disagree, but because it would be a misuse of the word "with", which we all know means "against" and has for over a thousand years. Any usage with the sense "on the same side as" is a misuse that the dictionaries have been forces to accept, just...

    LIVE from the Camino The massacre of a dear resting place.

    That's sad. I have strong memories of the Oasis. Below: A short rest in the Oasis.

    want solitude

    I stayed in Grajal de Campos, too, last year. How could I resist staying in a renaissance palace (even if only in the stables)? I was the only person in the building once the hospitalero had checked me in and left. That was the night I spent most of my time in the washroom, so it was just as...

    News from the Camino

    It seems to me that people have had an opportunity to express their opinions on the posting habits of others on the Forum. I may be alone in this, but I would appreciate it if this thread could return to "news from the Camino", as advertised. Not meaning to be dismissive.

    Little sculptures

    Not in the cathedral, I believe this is from the chapel in the Hostal de Los Reyes Catolicos in Santiago.

    Lugo - Ourense a good idea?

    I believe it would still qualify for a Compostela as the last 100km would be on a single recognized Camino.
  19. David Tallan

    Lugo - Ourense a good idea?

    I would advise against it. As mentioned elsewhere, I wouldn't be put off by the scaremongering you read. I walked from Lugo to Santiago (including the part from Melide to Santiago during the busiest time of year). In the part after Lugo, including the part after Melide, I can say with certainty...

    want solitude

    I can see not only from your profile, but from this post, that you haven't walked the Camino yet. When you do, I think you will discover quite a number of other differences between the Camino and walking the wilderness trails like the Pacific Trail, AT, CDT, etc. At least, so it is apparent from...
