I am arriving in Logroño tonight to start the Camino Ignaciano, having decided to skip the initial mountains this cold time of year. Has anyone had experience locating a credencial in Logroño for the Camino Ignaciano?
Camino Olvidado: Bilbao to Congosto (near Ponferrada)
In preparing for this walk, I felt overwhelmed by the multiple sources of information and found sorting through it challenging. Much of it was from the pre-pandemic era. The multiple variants add to the complexity. Also, much of the...
I will be restarting the Ruta de la Lana soon, starting from Siguenza, with its convenient railroad connection with Madrid. The first stage to Atienza is 32 km. For a first day, and not knowing how my back/leg will hold up (which is what stopped me last December on this route), I would like...
I hope this summary of my recent Ruta de la Lana will be useful to someone.
Like many of us, I was more than ready to get walking again, despite the continuing pandemic, so when I felt it was safe enough for me to travel to Spain and walk, I started November 11th, though this was a little...
Does anyone know of lodging in Venta del Carrizal? Halfway between Alcalá la Real and Alcaudete?

And now I am trying to sort out best route for me to Vic - straight west through Vilanova de Sau ( Which is the route described in the French guide I am using), or Laurie’s more northern, longer...
Is there already a thread somewhere regarding the French part of the Camino which starts in Arles and connects with the Spanish Camino Girona (Cami Sant Jaume) to Montserrat and then the Camino Catalan to Logrono? I have the French Rando Guide Le Chemin Catalan: D'Arles a Logrono via Le Chemin...
I will start in Geneva next week, walking at least to LePuy and perhaps further along the chemin. In previous camino walks I have always gotten along with just a silk sleeping liner, instead of a sleeping bag. I tend to find the simpler less expensive places to sleep. Will a liner suffice for...
