    What is between Sarria and Santiago? And Muxia?

    “Finisterre is where you end your Camino, Muxia is where you replenish your soul“ Love this & completely agree.

    A New Map - More routes to Santiago and across Spain than ever before.

    LIVE from the Camino 20 year old Pilgrim FOUND safe and sound

    Could this young woman possibly be of Hungarian origin? (spoke to someone looking a bit like her yesterday in Fisterra)

    Desperate for advice on SIM card matters

    I have used Tuenti all caminos throughout Spain, best deal and coverage for me. It seems that the closest place to buy their Sim card is in Bilbao (www.tuenti.es), appx 100 km or 4 days from Irun if you start there. As Kirkie said, wifi is nearly everywhere so... But if it is important for...

    Thank you very much Chuck. Yes el Salvador starts in Leon (also part of camino Frances... just departing opposite direction from the huge hotel 'Parador de Leon') No problems with accomodation, albergues seem to be open all year around and plenty of different kilometers options. Just may be...

    Pack Size?

    Have had a Deuter 28l the last two caminos winter, and a bumbag for quick and easy access to small bottle of water & snacks. Plenty of room for everything, incl. sleeping bag and complete rain gear.

    Salvador solo - March 2017

    Thank you camino07 The few times i got lost on this Camino were my own fault too... ( despite being convinced of the contrary to start with! ) El Salvador was really well marked. Just not sure what the marking would be like if there is more snow...

    Day 5 - Pola de Lena > Oviedo 34 km Already the last etapa of this amazing Camino... good weather early morning, a welcomed blessing for tired legs and feet : ) Most of the starting walk is close to the road, but there is an alternative along the river until Mieres instead of asphalt...

    Haven't seen that bar you are mentionning... but would agree that by then any pilgrim would be ready to stop and have a hot drink or something to eat...

    Day 4 - Pajares > Pola de Lena 27 (+ 10 !) km Early departure, in snow to start with in Pajares, then rain... all fields around were white, very cold... Amazing how in few days I have had all seasons on this Camino. The good point is that when you wear all the layers you have, your backpack...

    Thank you Anemone... who knows ? Walking El Primitivo now, but will be well arrived in Santiago by April... so... By the way... what does mean an inaugural walk?

    Day 3 - Poladura de la Tierca > Pajares 15 km Started the day very early, had to walk back into the albergue to put some rain gear. It was pretty cold, change of weather... but didn't look that bad. The scenery is actually stunning from the moment you leave the village. Was also blessed by an...

    Ah ah Joe :D The Albergue is a two story building, but all the bed (literas) are in one room only. And there are two bathrooms, and if i remember well, one of them is a bit more modern than the other one... so I guess it was added after you went there? and no circuit breaker popped... may be...

    Salvador solo - March 2017

    Wow Laurie, this sounds like an interesting Camino... love the name : ) guessing by now things have 'evolved' as the linked you posted is dated 2014... A big cheer and heartfelt gratitude to those dedicated people who are marking the Caminos with arrows and shells... especially the less...

    Day 2 - La Robla > Poladura de la Tierca 24 km *** if you are going to stop there, make sure you call the albergue the day before, so the hospitalero can order some food to be prepared for you. Got stuck early morning trying to leave town, turning in round... tricked by a yellow arrow i had...

    There was some at the top when I walked Magwood. Weather has been surprisingly warm and sunny this year... would still suggest you check on daily or weekly basis when you are there. Buen Camino :)

    Salvador solo - March 2017

    Day 1 - Leon > La Robla 27 km It takes quite a while to walk out of Leon, but after 2 hours when I finally reached the mountains, felt happy and light to be in nature and silence again. Quite a climb, but not too hard, especially if you have already been walking el Camino Frances (comparable...
