    Death of American pilgrim in Castromaior today

    I now skip Castromaior. It is quicker and less hilly to stay on the road after Gonzar and stay Straight to the T in the road, cross over the highway, make a left and you rejoin other pilgrims as they make a right on there way to Ventas de Naron. When you get to T there are camino signs there...

    Cinque Terra - one way walking only

    I have hiked this route many times. It is the blue path #2 from Monterossa heading southeast to Vernazza. It is approximately a 12 km section. It is a hilly and rocky section in part and also narrow in parts. The trail between Riomaggiore and Manarola (Via dell'Amore) and Manarola to...

    Rip off Restaurant

    We are conscious of food costs on caminos, as eating out 3 times a day can add up and we try and economize where we can. So one meal that is relatively easy to economize on is breakfast. We buy fruit, and yogurt in small cups almost daily, the night before, and purchase a small bag of nuts...

    Rip off Restaurant

    Sorry that you had such a “traumatic” experience…. but even more sorry that for a few Euros/ dollars you were so concerned about being ripped off for breakfast that your energy was directed away from the beautiful coastal camino you are walking. Frankly, I would have been happy to find a...

    LIVE from the Camino Dog attack

    I have met many untethered and stray dogs, as well as been pained by seeing heavily chained and clearly lonely isolated dogs behind fences along the CF. In addition, over many years of hiking I have passed hundreds of loose dogs. The vast majority of dogs are friendly! I start greeting...

    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    I didn’t respond to the Poll because I felt different about the movie after I walked it. I really liked the movie initially and it partially inspired me walk the CF. I also read several books including Walk in a Relaxed Manner which enhanced my desire to walk it. However, after I walked the...

    What pushed or invited or drew you to set off for 'The Camino'?

    Have always been a hiker/walker. Traveled almost every Sommer to Austria, Italy or Switzerland to walk when I worked. Saw the movie The Way and read Joyce Rupp’s Walked in a Relaxed Manner and decided to walk it.

    Connecting Flight Madrid to Santiago

    Cheap airline flights ?

    Another consideration: Rarely will you find really “cheap” nonstop direct flights, so how willing are you to make stops? Are there direct flights from Detroit? WHEN do you want to fly……off peak/shoulder seasons or winter months are usually lower cost, both in flights and hotels. I love...

    Madrid airport to chamartin, how long it takes?

    You would be cutting it very close, assuming your flight comes in on-time you don’t have to collect luggage. Take a taxi for 35 euros from T2 to Chamartin.

    Sharing a menu del dia/ becoming a trend/ Santiago de Compostela

    I have seen pilgrims order the typical spaghetti bolognese only as a meal. One woman last year came into Casa Lixa for Lunch ordered only the spagetti, but then put almost an entire bowl of shredded Romano cheese (not exaggerating) on top of the Spaghetti and then asked half way through the...

    Where to stay in O Cebreiro

    We have had reservations in various places! It really depends when you are there and on what you are looking for? The town itself can be packed with pilgrims and is usually quite busy and waiting to be served can get tedious. @Anniesantiago mentioned staying at Albergue la Escuela in Laguna...

    Travel Insurance

    I was hospitalized in Ireland for 5 days pre walking camino days. Allianz insurance was initially very supportive on the phone, but it took them a year to pay the hospital and doctor in Ireland and I had to persistently contact them and sent them documentation numerous times, including certified...

    Long pants and long sleeves in summer? Smart or big mistake?

    We always wea Agree! I always wear polyester light weight pants, long sleeve capeline shirts, a wide rim hat with neck protection and now always silk gloves…even in Spring! I had to have two suspicious brown spots removed from my hands two years ago by the dermatologist…and I am sure it was...
