    Starting from Gijon: 7th April

    Hello out there, Well, actually the name is Alex, not gyro. I started the CdeN in 2013 and made it as far as Gijon after 20 soggy days. Now I am looking to get the boots on and continuing the journey. I love to walk in Spain, greatly prefer walking on my own but find the companionship of the...

    Blimey. This weather

    Dear All, I am in Llanes this evening, where my bedroom has been converted into Asturias´most efficienct drying room. Six hours I was on the camino today - at best, the rain slowed down to a leisurely drizzle. I was soaked like a drowned rat when I hit town. The local newspapers have been full...

    The best dayś walk I have ever had on the Camino

    Dear All, You must all know me by now. I occasionally pop in, usually in the month before I go to Spain to tackle a camino, and I write the odd message or so.

    Dear All, 6 days into the camino, having started in Granada, and I should reach Cordoba tomorrow. This is a pretty tough route - lots of hills between Granada and Cordoba - so progress is slow. There are also not too many towns along the way, so I have to be well prepared. So far, I have not...

The Camino Frances was the first (12 years ago), then Via de la Plata from Sevilla to SdeC(4 years ago), and finally the Camino Portuguese last April. I popped into the Camino Travel Centre when I...

    not so much an introduction...

    ...more a message of thanks. I arrived in Santiago, on the Camino Portuguese, late last night. I stayed in a flophouse close to the airport (which I don´t recommend)and walked from Lavacolla to the cathedral this morning. It was pleasant to enjoy the warm, if slightly damp, morning. Today´s...

    Barcelos to Ponte de Lima: learn from my stupidity

    Dear all, Just to prove how stupid a grown man can be.... A few days ago, I walked the gentle 16km from Rates to Barcelos, arriving before noon. I decided to continue along the path in the direction of Ponte de Lima. I would - I felt sure - pick up accommodation along the way. There are a...

    A suggestion for leaving Porto

    Dear all, Well, here I am on the CP and I am typing this on the library computer in Ponte de Lima. One suggestion for leaving Porto: take the metro to Araujo - some 14km or so from the cathedral. The metro station is only 500m from the village square, where a cafe will set you up with...
