    Camino de Costa Brava???

    Thanks. There are many, many good hiking trails in this part of Spain. Most follow old cattle droving routes from village to village. Beautiful, solitary hiking. I may take a second look at the Girona route and see if I can follow a path from this village back to the coast. I'm in a tiny...

    Camino de Costa Brava???

    It seems wherever I go hiking in Spain since my camino adventure I can't get awat from yellow arrows and shells now. I've just spent a couple of weeks hiking along Costa Brava (February. Out of season - best time to visit). I kept noticing shells and arrows everywhere. But, Costa Brava? Where...

    4-5 weeks enough ???

    Euskotren. http://www.maint.com/GreenSpain/ It's relevant to your 'Pamplona Connection' thread also. I think some of the smaller stops are actually request stops. It's also slow - stopping every 2KM, or so often. But, it's cheap, convenient and passes through some very picturesque countryside...

    connection Pamplona to Hendaye

    For all bus times in Spain refer to http://www.alsa.es My suggestion would be bus from Pamplona to San Sebastian (€14). About 10 buses a day. Check the journey times - some are just 1 hour, others go the long way; 2 hours. From San Sebastian you can take the narrow guage train to Irun, or take...

    4-5 weeks enough ???

    Forget the bus! There is a narrow guage train running along the North Coast from San Sebastian (from France initially). The Camino route frequently crosses the track. It is incredibly convenient to hop on and off at stops if you think you're running out of time. Ticket machines at all unmanned...

    art-project Camino

    Hi, Always interesting to read about other artist's Camino inspiration. First time I've logged in here for a while. I'm currently looking for exhibition spaces for my own Camino art project. The very brief history... I walked Five different Camino routes over Two and Half years. I funded my...

    Atlas de las Peregrinaciones.

    This is a fabulous book. Just found it on offer in my local book shop in Granada. Reduced from €60 to €20 and worth every last Cent. It's in Spanish, but full of pictures for all non-Spanish 'readers'. Authors: Fernando Lanzi and Gioia Lanzi. Publisher: San Pablo. It gives information about...

    Walking from Africa!

    Thank you. We like the idea of camel 'rental' :)

    Walking from Africa!

    :D This is an insane idea, but I don't care. I have invitations to stay in a village in Senegal. Although I have been telling myself 'enough is enough - no more walking' the idea of walking back via the Sahara and Morocco over a slow, long year is irresistable. If all goes to plan I will have...

    SANTIAGO IS CROWDED!!

    I have been sketching in Quintana almost everyday for the past 3 months now. Weekends have become hectic. Even before 10AM the queues are a bit of a nightmare to negotiate. But, if you don't intend to go to mass and just want to enter the cathedral via the Holy Door, my advice is go between...

    La Crepe. Praza Quintana in Santiago.

    I have to give these people a mention here, and a huge thanks! This is exactly the sort of place I would normally walk straight past. However, after an invite, I'll be going back regularly. Delicious. Good value. Beautiful service. Relaxing ambience. Honestly, I used to pay 10x as much in...

    ***SEVERE STORM WARNING***

    Just beginning to hit Santiago now. Looking at all the old rooves (roofs?) here I suspect a few tiles to go flying this evening. Can't stress enough just how dangerous this sort of weather can be for walkers. Not entirely sure I want to spend a night in my mates campervan (home for the past few...

    ***SEVERE STORM WARNING***

    Putting this here in the hope that it will be seen! There is a very real chance of F12 winds hitting Portugal and Northern Spain (especially Galicia) from Midnight tonight. Gusts of upto 160 KPH. Not walking conditions (likely to include much of Sunday). It will be highly dangerous with all...

    Finisterra Accommodation? Cheap????

    Thanks for the quick reply. All seems to be working out OK. Private albergue (San Miguel??? - not exactly sure of the name) is open. So, sorted for a dry bed, and I've met some good people here already. Have work lined up for tomorrow at Bar La Pirata. I think! It will pay for food and drink at...

    Fisterra Accommodation? Quick reply appreciated!

    I've been refused access to the municipal albergue (didn't walk all the way from Santiago) and it looks like the privates are closed. Any tips on cheap pensions/hostals? Only came here to do a painting for my next project, and I'm on an extremely tight budget - like €20 max for a bed. Thanks in...

    New albergue in Santiago

    Aaaargh... Bed bugs! No, no, no. I thought they were supposed to stay dormant through winter. Can I retract any recommendation I may have made? It's all a bit bonkers in this place. The bar is always empty, but very noisy. I have been relegated to a room upstairs because I smoke - fair enough...
