    VDLP - How it differs from Francés- Starting Jan 15

    Hello, Booked my ticket to Seville and will start a 3 week pilgrimage to Salamanca and then complete the second part on my next adventure to Santiago. I begin on the 15th of January and I suspect I will be alone? Does anyone have any tips on what to expect comparing to Francés? Are there...

    What makes a good guidebook?

    Hello I’ve walked the Frances four times now and decided it’s about time I gave one of the other routes a bash and from asking around different pages and forums I’ve been recommended to the VDLP for a winter Camino. I was looking for a guidebook but it appears, Amazon at least, don’t stock many...

    Oh for a poncho in Portamarin?

    Currently in the albergue in Mercadoiro and have lost my rucksack cover somewhere between here and Ferrerios. It's been belting down here for days now and I don't even fancy my chances of making it to Portomarin (5km) without getting soaked tomorrow as more rain is forecast. Assuming I can make...

    Anyway to cover tops of favourite runners?

    hi Starting from Leon on the 22nd, walking to Finisterre. I've had rain every summer in Galicia so I'm aware I'm going to need to either carry my solomons (another kilo to the bag) or, my preference - work out a way to cover the tops of my mesh Asics which are like walking on air even for 30k...

    Last years passport - new starting destination - can i use it?

    Hello, I completed St Jean-Burgos last year and this year have two weeks off to walk Leon>Finisterre. However, I get into Leon really early on the TrenHotel and want to just get going without having to go and pick up a new passport. Is it possible for me to continue using last years passport...

    Foot issues!

    hello I'm a frequent Camino walker but since being back and doing only short 5-7k walks weekly I've noticed I have started to develop hard painful skin on the outside of my big toes. It's happening on both feet at roughly the same speed and I'm wondering if all the walking (caminos etc) has...

    Valcarlos>Roncesvalles - any off from the road?

    Back in summer I walked this route and this stretch was 90% on a long winding upwards road. I've watched vlogs of others doing this path and I've seen them in woods so I'm guessing there are earlier paths that do hook up with the Napoleon route earlier than I did which was about 1km from...

    The New Years Day Camino? Winter Tips

    Hi All, I completed my first Camino just back in August and did many of the things I promised myself I would do on that camino to improve my life, one of those things was start my own business. I have done that and now can not envisage any real free time for quite a while but between Jan...

    The Camino Obsession

    Hello All, I was encouraged onto my first camino by many of you back in July where an opportune window presented itself (redundancy!) for me to take my first Camino, even though it meant being in Pamplona for San Fermin and enduring a frightfully hot early August slog over the Meseta. I regret...

    Perfect Timing or Foolhardy?

    hello all Ive been stalking these forums for two years since a friend of mine did the Camino in 2013. Ive always wished to do the camino but what with starting new jobs, a marriage breakdown and lack of circumstances Ive never had the timing come together. This week I was made redundant from...
