Please, can anyone tell me, the Sisters of the Sacred Heart still are at Zabaldika. I've noticed, when you look up the albergue on alberguescaminosantiago.com, it's said that volunteers are from Federación de Asociaciones de Amigos del Camino de Santiago.
I remember reading somewhere about the former use of that concrete building just before Irotz. Really, it doesn't seem to be anything but a ruin. I just wondered, who's responsible of building the site, and what it has been used for. maps.google mentions, it's 'antigua fábrica ruinas'. Anybody...
I walked the Frances in April and May, and followed the signs. I did get to Akorreta and noticed the hotel, where Tom in The Way had his first night. But come to think of it, I didn't walk that way on my first Frances four years ago. And checking maps.google, I notice the Camino de Santiago...

I was wondering, why there is no forum for the Camino through Manzanal. Not just that, but there doesnønt seem to exist a single post on the subject in the forum. It seems like a very interesting variation of the Camino Frances, and it seems like, the villages and towns along it have been trying...

Back when starting my Camino in April, I was planning to do the del Norte, and continue via Camino Lebaniego through the Picos back to the del Norte and the Primitivo to Santiago. From the first couple of weeks I could tell the Lebaniego would be too hard for me at the time, so I stayed on the...
Now is the day … before the day. Tomorrow I’ll arive in Biarritz to start walking from Hondarribia Wednesday morning. I do plan to wite a blog along the way. In fact, I have started. The sad bit is, it is in Danish, but I’m sure the intrested reader or fellow walkers will find out a way to copy...
Well, flight tickets booked to Biarritz April 19th and back from Santiago June 6th. So, the journey goes via del Norte to San Vicente de Barquera, where I'll join the Camino Lebaniego to Fuente De and cross the Picos to Sotres, Las Arenas, the lakes and Covadunga and walk to Arriondas. From...
