    The Elvis Bar in Reliegos

    Yes my wife and I loved the place! It is a must see place for a cool one on the way to Leon. I hope to get back there someday.

    The camino is boring landscapes, paved roads, traffic…

    Every Camino or hike has it own different personality and feel. The Camino takes one out of one’s comfort zone. You have to want to step out of your box. If not keep doing the same thing within your own world.

    A documentary

    Greetings Mdelag! Luarca is a beautiful little harbor town. The villages that follow all the way to Ribadeo are are very nice! We enjoyed a day off in Ribadeo. The two days after Ribadeo are long but getting to Tapia de Casariego makes it worth it. Also there is a Parador in Vilalba that is...

    A documentary

    The last four years my wife and I have done the the CF, (twice) CP and last year, in the fall, we did the full Norte. This Camino was tougher. We are not spring chickens, she was pushing 63 and I turned 67 on the Norte. Get past the first 7 days and you can get through the Norte. It is so...

    Post Camino

    For me, thinking and talking about the Camino everyday while real life surrounds you helps with the Camino withdrawals. Like someone said above, continue walking plus start planning your next adventure!

    What's going on? Camino del Norte hard?

    Sorry you didn’t get your compostela! I agree with you in that the Camino Frances is getting out of hand with the amount of people. They should set a certain amount of time each day for people that have walked a full Camino. Some kind of distance pecking order! But congratulations on finishing...

    What's going on? Camino del Norte hard?

    I started following this thread early on with great interest. Now that I just finished (Last week) The Norte from Irùn to Santiago I can give a first hand recent account of what the Norte was like for a couple that are in their sixties (I’m 68, my wife 63), and have walked the Frances twice...

    Disparaging "The Way"

    I can only say thanks to the Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen for the film that first educated me about the the Camino! Despite what some might say of its accuracy, it motivated my wife and I to do our first Frances from St. Jean In 2016. We just completed our fourth Camino, the Camino del Norte...

    Hi all, I just joined the gronze.com site today and I can’t get the English translation to come up. Does anyone know how to switch it to English while in the site?
