    LIVE from the Camino Third time on Via de la Plata this April

    I shall be walking on the VdlP for the third time this year, in a very different way from my previous walks. My first walk: from Seville to Santiago in the autumn, was straight through with no days off, little time to rush through the major cities, and no off-route adventures to visit...

    LIVE from the Camino AG on the Salvador and Primitivo

    Autumn on the Salvador appears to have ended. I walked yesterday, Leon to La Robla, and found it tedious at times, and needing more climbing than anticipated. But today has been heavy rain and cold for most of the day. I am wrapped in a thick blanket, hiding out for the rest of the day in...

    I shall be walking the Salvador later in the fall and have vague memories that there are interesting churches and other ancient architecture near Oviedo. If anyone could refer me to threads which discuss this I would be grateful, as I have had no success myself in finding anything, I shall have...

    Plans to walk from Le Puy - Sept 2022

    I am beginning the Le Puy in about ten days, starting to walk on Sept. 11. I have booked two nights in Le Puy, to rest from the long journey from Calgary- it looks like two nights in a row with little or no sleep. Then I have three nights on the trail booked after that: Saint-Privat-D'Allier...

    Via Podiensis, and more... Sept 2022

    I am gradually feeling more attracted to the Via Podiensis and am thinking of beginning in mid-September. When I finish the Podiensis, I am considering making my way to Lourdes, instead of SJPdP, and going on from there to Oloron Ste Marie, then the Aragones into Spain. That is as far as I have...

    Questions about the Viejo/Olvidado

    The Viejo to the Olvidado to the Invierno is drawing me in as my next camino. Even better to begin on the Aragones (post 24, above) which I have been longing to return to since I walked it in 2016. I have started my research by reading about the Olvidado from Bilbao, and find myself uninterested...

    LIVE from the Camino Need help getting from Santiago to Najera, for hospitalera duty

    I have discovered that transportation to Nájera from Santiago is pretty much impossible. I am hoping that someone at Nájera has better information or options. I have just spent some time at the Santiago bus/train station trying to sort it out. What I could find is that there is no convenient...

    LIVE from the Camino Albertagirl on the Levante

    I have been thinking of your recent walk, and how you had to sleep outside several times. I have had huge problems trying to find accommodations on the Levante, finally culminating this afternoon in a telephone conversation with the reservation person at the Posada in Higueruela. She informed me...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Requirements for Canadians to Fly

    I'll be on my way a couple of days later from Canada and am wondering if regulations are changing for Canadians at the same time.

    @Albertagirl preparing for the Levante

    I shall be trying to get a sim card in Valencia on a Saturday, as I arrive in Spain on Friday evening (Sept. 10), and must begin my camino on Sunday. I am hoping that something will be open, as I cannot afford the time to stay over Sunday and into Monday to shop. I am not clear on what types of...

    Flying into BCN — recommendations welcome!

    I have bought my ticket, sooner than I anticipated and with no clear idea of what demands will be made of me when I arrive in Spain. I don't yet believe that I am going. The price was right, the transfers were right (one transfer in Canada each way) and I sincerely hope that the time is right...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD 🦠 Travel to Spain/Portugal for Canadian travelers

    My situation as a Canadian seems to be quite similar to those in the US. Yesterday, I was able to sign up for my second dose of Pfizer vaccine, so by the end of June I shall be fully vaccinated, with my two week period for the vaccine to take effect completed. I am still hanging on to the hope...

    Helping Albertagirl with Maps!

    NOTE From Mod — You may have seen @AJ’s thread on planning the Camino Levante. A number of issues involving maps.me, google maps, facebook, etc have come up. I thought that it would be more helpful to @Albertagirl if we had one dedicated thread where she could work through these issues and...

    Albergue in Villavieja

    Has anyone on the forum spent a night at the albergue municipal in Villavieja this year? I have read three posts in the Comentarios on Gronze referring to that albergue which all state that it is impossible to reach anyone to open the albergue by calling any of the posted numbers. These comments...

    I arrived in Canfranc Estacion in the late morning after a pleasant downhill walk in the late morning, with the beauty of the mountains all around.

    After my first pilgrimage

    I was called to go on camino. I felt that God was calling, and I went. It was wonderful. Now, I no longer feel called, I just want to go. I try to resist the urge, as it feels like self-indulgence. But I am taking a second course in Spanish and insisting on the Spanish of Spain. How do pilgrims...
