    Snow Flakes

    Well no snow here in southern Alberta, Canada other than on the screen and the forecast indicates even we won't be having a white Christmas this year! Wouldn't you know it....bought the grandkids toboggans for Christmas!

    Pontevedra. Torn muscle or tendon in ankle

    I don’t want to take over this post but I am heading to Pontevedra tomorrow and also have an ankle injury. I am hoping to hear where Val goes for treatment. I have not walked on the Camino for 8 days now and the pain in my ankle is showing little improvement. I started out in Lisbon but have...

    New albergue in Barcelinhos

    Just thought I'd mention that there is a new albergue ( 3 months old) in Barcelinhos just before Barcelos. There are private rooms as well as beds in a dorm available . There is a large yard to relax in as well as a well supplied kitchen. There is also a cafe right across the street. The...

    Brierly or no Brierly..

    I also felt that way on the Camino Frances and would say to my husband when we hadn't seen a yellow arrow or shell sign in some time, that i was having "Arrow Anxiety" or "Shell Shock".

    New albergue in Alpriate -- NOW CLOSED PERMANENTLY

    We are hoping to stop here our first night. It looks like you cannot book ahead so am wondering if it is full most nights? Also if it is first come first serve....about what time of day does this happen that it is full? Thanks for any help with this.

    What to read on the Camino?

    Everyone is different in what they like to do while on the Camino. I haven't got a particular book to suggest but maybe try checking out TripFiction..... a site where you can search for books written about/or take place in a certain geographical location.

    Orisson or Roncesvalles?

    Hi Frank - I would highly recommend walking only to Hunto (as Orisson is already booked) your first day. We did the Camino Frances in 2016 and we were both in our 50's. Originally we had planned to go all the way to Roncesvalles but 3 weeks before our Camino I had an appendectomy and we...

    Can hiking poles be carried on board airplanes?

    My husband and I have had the same experience with these poles. We only use carry on packs and never check them. We have flown to/from London , Madrid , Nice, Taipei , Bangkok, Delhi , Calgary, Athens , Venice and never had any problem going through security with them.

    Mosquitos

    Hi...just wondering where you get DEET in a tube and what is the brand name? I respond badly to mosquito bites (and even more so to bed bug bites) so would like to try anything that helps. I don't like mosquito spray and have a liquid form of DEET but the DEET in a tube sounds like it would be...

    Bedbug defense

    I treated the outside of my sleeping bag and my back pack with permethrin. I woke on the third day of my camino in 2015 after a night in St. Jean and a night in Orisson with several bed bug bites. I am a reactor to bed bug bites and my husband is not. This makes it difficult to tell if some...

    Any overnight stop between SJPdP and Roncesvalles possible?

    Has anyone ever made a reservation at the hostel in Huntto and if so how did you pay the deposit? I have been in contact with the hostel and they want me to make a deposit into their account but I don't know how to do it. All their correspondence is in French and unfortunately I only speak...
