    For Sale/Wanted Albergue or house for sale along the Camino Portuguese?

    After numerous Caminos, my wife and I are looking to purchase a house (or possibly an already established albergue) along the Camino Portuguese within Portugal to establish a small private refugio for pilgrims. Ideally between Lisbon & Porto but also open to possibilities north of Porto...

    Backpack transportation from Porto to Santiago

    Hi all, I'm doing my first Camino Portuguese from Porto in April 2020 and my elderly parents will be joining. It's going to be easier for my 78 year old mother if her backpack can be delivered like on the Frances. Does anyone know if this is an option on the Portuguese?

    Kyte Backpack for Women

    Hi all, I use a 38L Kestral from Osprey for my camino but my wife is thinking of getting the Kyte series which is designed for ladies but comes only in the 36 or 46L size. I think 46 is to much and think she should perhaps get the 38L Kestral like mine. Any ladies have suggestions or...

    Albergues & Children

    Hi all, will be doing my second camino this April 2017 with my wife and parents but will also be bringing my 6 yr old. When I did the camino in 2015 I didn't see any children so I am curious whether I need to pay for the evening for my young one? He's just going to end up sleeping in mine or...

    Any advice for bringing a child in the 5-7 yr. range on the Camino Frances

    Hi all! I completed the Camino Frances with my 17 yr old son last May (2015) and we had the most wonderful experiences. Now, I would like to take my wife (who is a bit jealous of the experiences we had) and do it again. We are looking to do the Frances again in April / May 2017 but we have a...

    Bed Bug Spray in SJPdP

    Hi all, I leave for my first Camino in 3 weeks and this may sound like a silly question but I keep reading how I should spray my sleeping bag liner and back pack with a bug spray but I haven't found said "camping" spray in Hong Kong where I'm coming from. Is this type of item available at a...

    Branching out from the Brierley guidebook

    I just got my John Brierley guidebook which seems to be what many pilgrims recommend. I can already see it will be of great value on my upcoming first camino. However I don't want my pilgrimage to be a preset "staged" walk. I was curious what others may suggest / recommend from their walks...

    Taking the Bus to Pamplona

    Hi all, Has anyone took the bus from Madrid airport T4 to Pamplona? I thought that might be easier then going into town to catch the train. Besides, there seems to be a bus that leaves from T4 at 10:45 AM (We arrive in Madrid at 9:40 AM) which looks pretty convenient. Was just wondering...
