    Pilgrim Office Pre Registration query

    So I decided to pre register now, so i have less hassle later. But I have sort of an issue with the first drop down box. As some of you know my route this year is a bit complicated. I start in Santander and then do the Vadiniense, Salvador, then Camino do Mar, Ingles, probably the Finisterre...

    Camino Madrid in October

    I am currently juggling ideas for my second camino/walk. Basically I intend to finish my complicated first Camino by start of October, at the latest probably the 4th. After that i will still have a decent 14 day window to do something else. While I might go down to Ourense for a day to hit...

    Poncho or raincoat that doesn't cover rucksack

    I am looking for a cheap lightweight poncho or rain jacket that doesn't cover the rucksack (my Berghaus has it's own rain cover). Doesn't have to be breathable, but would be nice if it was. Just needs to be waterproof. I don't need bottoms, I tried that in 2016/17 and ripped the back end out...

    Pepper spray availability in Santander

    Does anyone know where I can get a small can of pepper spray in Santander? I am quite new to buying stuff like this and never considered it for my past Caminos, but I think it's a requirement for this one. I will be spending a good chunk of my Camino solo in the mountains and between bears...

    Think I finally decided my route

    This year i want adventure. :) I get to Spain on the 31st August and aim to hit the municipal at Polanco on Day 1, via the Cathedral and Post Office. Is it possible to send smaller packages ahead to a Post Office for pickup? I want to send a tub of cream ahead and some other medication, from...

    Polanco Municipal - Anyone stayed at it recently?

    Simple question. Has anyone been there a late? It shows as temporarily closed on Gronze. If it has re-opened by the end of August i would like to stay there, the night after I disembark the ferry. Especially interested in the fact they allow camping.

    Camino 2023 - Baztan and beyond

    I want to walk next year. My intention would be to get the boat to Bilbao (and take a train to Bayonne) or fly to Biarritz, arriving probably the last week in August. Timelimit to complete this Camino is open ended, but I would prefer to have finished by mid October at the latest. I tend to...

    Passport control issues - Are they affecting inbound pilgrims

    More specifically, has anyone entered Spain via the ferry terminal at Santander/Bilbao in the last week. Have you been subject to these multi-hour waits that are being reported at present? For foot passengers entering at Santander I don't see their being any possibility of a multi-hour wait...

    Should be starting Primitivo at the start of October

    All my plans this year fell through, took on a bunch of unsuitable jobs, and everything essentially went to hell. But life is now back to normal. So I am going to do a short session this year. I have a month to play with. Booked a ferry to Santander at the start of October, and will get a...

    Intention to walk Madrid to Santiago in May

    Been musing over whether to do Primitivo in May or just rip out something larger, and I've decided to try the Madrid route. I am looking at a route that will take in several routes. For starters, Madrid to Sahagun. Then follow Frances to Ponferrada. Then the Invierno route until somewhere...

    The mess that is my first camino

    It started with lots of plans to walk this and walk that, and do a full camino, and now I finally reach a point where I will be committing to it, albeit a much smaller cut down version. So my history and issues are scatted throughout threads on this forum. I found a job I enjoyed doing, then...

    Lisbon to Santiago via Fatima (in Oct/Nov)

    So i guess i should start a thread. I was originally going to walk a hybrid of the Norte/Primitivo, but since im walking somewhat later in the year (on the advice of some of the veterans of the site), I am now in thinking it may be better to start more southerly and try and pick up some warmth...

    Wild camping and legal alternatives

    Is their an alternative to wild camping for those that have to wild camp out of necessity? Do certain albergue allow a person to pitch a tent outside rather than sleep inside. Through necessity i cant sleep in shared sleeping space, and am not rich enough to afford hotels. Also from what ive...

    Multiple Severe Allergies and other problems

    My intention is to walk from Lourdes in early September, but at the minute my medical problems are putting a dampener on the planning. Has anyone (on here) done the walk with a severe anaphlaxis problem to multiple allergens? I am allergic to nuts, olives, sesame, almonds and a multitude of...
