    Companies that transport bags

    I just saw on their web page that "Our main service is luggage transfer and pilgrim transportation." Maybe I will write to them and check what this means. Thanks for your help.

    Are you saying then that Caminofacil transport persons as well as backpacks?

    Companies that transport bags

    I have read somewhere that some companies will transport persons for no extra charge. Is that so? And which companies do that? On the Coast to Coast in UK that was a very helpful service offered.

    Backpacks in bars/cafes

    I am very wary about leaving anything outside after my experience at one bar. I had left my pack and walking pole out by tables where pilgrims were sitting and I went inside. After finishing inside, I donned my pack and was taking off when I realised I did not have my walking pole. Came back...

    I am arriving at SJPP with my suitcase. How do I ship it to Santiago?

    What about if I want to send my suitcase from Leon to Santiago? I understand Express Bourricot only moves luggage from SJDP to Santiago. So can anyone tell me the best way if I am starting from Leon? Should I just use Correos? How long with the PO hold it? I am probably taking about 18 days...

    Walking to Finisterre from Padron?

    Hi Gvmelissa, No, sad to say we never did the Portuguese camino last year. A death in the family changed all our plans. Maybe another time. However mspath has said above that there are albergues all along the way and you can plot your path via google. All the best.

    Walking to Finisterre from Padron?

    Thanks. I have checked out these earlier Forum threads and they were helpful. However no one makes mention of accommodation on this route. Are there albergues, hostels, or just B n B's (the latter are a bit out of my league, expense wise)? Any information would be helpful.

    Walking to Finisterre from Padron?

    Can anyone tell me about walking on to Finisterre from the Portuguese Camino without going into Santiago? I have already done the Camino Frances finishing in Santiago, so this time I would like to walk direct to Finisterre without going into Santiago. Is it possible to cut across after say...

    Rainware....From a different perspective

    Hi all, The problem I see with both the Ferrino and the Tatonka ponchos is the arms. What happens to that last 6 inches of arm that is exposed? If you are holding a walking pole, you have to keep your hand out and you end up getting that area of sleeve drenched!! At least the old Altus had...

    Same credencial, different years

    Not a problem. We did exactly the same as you - walked from SJPP to Burgos one year, then came back the next and walked from Burgos to Santiago. We used our old passports, only problem was they were filled up well before we got to Santiago and we had to get another one. But that wasn't a...

    Carrying valuables

    I walked the Camino Frances 2 years ago. Got money out of bank in Leon and when at hostel in Villandangos someone was walking around with a torch early morning, shining it in my eyes. My husband and daughter got up earlier and I thought it was them. Later saw an entry in visitors book telling...

    When to start in SJPdP

    We started from StJPDP in late May last year. There had been a snowstorm the day before. We had okay weather to Orrisson and spent a great night there. Next morning we encountered drizzly rain, which later was driven by a mighty wind, then sleet, but not snow fortunately. We huddled in a...

    any advice what sort of footwear - ?hiking boots

    I agree with all who say shoes are the most important thing. I walked in a low cut leather Merrill last year and they were fine until they got wet. After that they became most uncomfortable with bits of leather poking into my toes. I have used a shoe tree to stretch them back to shape, but I...
