    Is the Camino Primitivo more physically challenging than other routes?

    I found it the most challenging of the Caminos due to the terrain but also the distance between stages. But don’t let that put you off. It is a beautiful walk.

    Primitivo in december

    I walked part of the Norte in February a couple of years ago and nearly every bar/cafe mentioned in the guide books was closed!

    Missing phone

    I've tried ringing the phone but no answer. It's a modern phone but a fairly basic one so there's no app to find it! I've contacted the phone company and they've frozen the account. I'm sure my Dad will be fine without it- it was just nice getting a daily text to let us know where he was. He'll...

    Missing phone

    My father started his first ever camino yesterday and arrived in Orisson last night. He posted on Facebook that he has made it to Roncesvalles but he's lost his phone. I've managed to freeze his account and have contacted the refuge to see if he left it there. I know it's a long shot but if...

    bed race

    Just left the Primitivo yesterday and stayed at Boente. Thankfully I booked in advance as people were being turned away by lunch time. Pedrouzo was totally booked- tried to book 48 hours before but no luck! I got in at 2:00 and got the last bed in the albergue! If you can bookin advance do so-...

    Camino Ingles in April

    I stayed at HOSTAL HERMANOS MIRÁS last month. I would agree it is a bit dated, and you have to share a bathroom but I was so tired it didn't matter. The restaurant is lovely, they make a very good Galician vegetable stew! There is also a new private albergue open but I'm not sure of the name or...

    Camino Ingles in April

    Post Camino I thought I should pop in and once again thank everyone for their tips and advice. I made it to Santiago and then finally onto Finisterre! As this was my third Camino it was lovely to get to the 'end'! I kept a blog for my students www.teacheronthecamino.wordpress.com You might have...

    Camino Ingles in April

    I'm going to start walking on the Saturday as I'm hoping to get to Ferrol by mid-afternoon. My intention is to stay at Hotel Kensington. I'm probably be going to staying in hotels as I didn't enjoy the experience of staying on my own in the Portuguese albergues. However I'm hoping that I'll bump...

    Camino Ingles in April

    I am so grateful for all the advice offered in this forum. In two weeks I shall be on my way! My main concern now is that there have been reports of bad weather that have affected the route. However I survived Portugal and the floods last Easter- I'll just have to remember my waterproofs!

    Camino Ingles in April

    Thank you so much for all the good advice. I will go back to the guide and have a look through the forum. I don't mind staying in private accommodation if I have to!

    Camino Ingles in April

    Thank you for this. I do feel very safe on the Camino but didn't enjoy being the only one in the hostel! I will have a good look at the maps and guides and work out an enjoyable schedule. I know when I did the Camino Frances there were some very long stretches but I felt I had time to work up...

    Camino Ingles in April

    Hello, I'm starting the Camino in April. Last year I did the Portuguese Camino (from Porto) at a similar time and felt I was the only walker out there! Whilst I enjoyed a very different experience to the hustle and bustle of the Camino Frances- I didn't enjoy being the only person in the hostel...
