    LIVE from the Camino @Isca-camigo on the Salvador

    Updates and changes on the Aragones route in the Pyrenees

    This topic interests me because it might be a possible late walk this year if I can get the time. When I say changed I'm thinking has the route been made more off road than it was, I have seen a note on gronze https://www.gronze.com/etapa/borce/somport which mentioned a bridge being flown in...

    Route to Bom Jesus and the Sanctuary of Sameiro, at start of Via Mariana

    There is a waymarked route which goes to Bom Jesus and the Sanctuary of Sameiro, which is also the start of the Via Mariana, I always intended to do this as my pre Camino Geira start but I read recently that they are building an Albergue De Peregrinos up at Sameiro and from the photo I saw are...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Spain waiting for UK Tourists

    This is a quote that was copied from the Guardian this morning( 22/4). Spain 'desperate to welcome' UK tourists in summer – minister Incidentally, if you’ve been missing the media obsession with whether people from the UK will be able to holiday abroad in the summer, I have good news. Sky News...

    An informative video of the route

    It is in Gallego but even if you don't understand the language you can get the general gist. I would also say that many of the shots are on and near roads, it could be that they drove to certain points and filmed near where it was accessible for them. + The end of the 1st etapa they use is...

    Mens or Unisex Sarong for walking in August

    So do any of you posters have experience of walking in summer in a sarong? I walked with a young American guy in July 2014 on the Primtivo who was wearing one, he seemed to have no issues. Is there a particular material I should be looking at, silk, cotton or another? I am not even sure at what...

    Pilgrims being advised not to walk this Camino for a few weeks

    Hi the pilgrim groups who maintain this Camino and assist pilgrims have advised as of today (21/10/20) not to walk this route for a few weeks. This is due to places to sleep, and eat being closed at the moment. If they post differently on their Facebook I will put it up here.

    Little update on the Geira

    I have been watching posts on facebook for this route, pilgrims are still walking it, they expected 2 to 3 thousand this year, as of now from the 1st July they have had about 100 pilgrims, they are being very warmly welcomed. Signage is not complete yet , they still recommend taking GPS. They...

    Via da Estrela

    Some of you know about this route this already. It starts in Caceres and ends Braga, it was partly signed several years ago but it seems like there is going to be a new attempt at signing it, see link, on the Spanish side of the border, not sure what happens in Portugal...

    Just seen this on a face book page with the exception of the town Bruela which was the place which had the high R Rate which prompted a lockdown, A Marina is open to pilgrims again. https://www.lavanguardia.com/vida/20200715/482326256836/confinamiento-a-marina-lugo-burela-covid-coronavirus.html

    Camino Transcantabrico

    I stumbled across this route recently, the individual who has proposed it does the route from Potes via Santo Toribio to Sarria through the Cantabrian mountains.You go through the Los Ancares mountains when going into Galicia but about 30 to 40 km north of where the CF enters. From the link I...

    Ruta Del Besaya

    It's an old pilgrimage route which runs from either two places Santander or Suances in Cantabria on the Coast to Carrion de Los Condes on the CF. It would have been a route for pilgrims of old who arrived by boat and then walked to Santiago, which is exactly my intention next year. I have been...

    New place for pilgrims on the penultimate night.

    This might be the last thing on people's minds but Pontevea has a donativo place for 12 pilgrims, it is 17kn before Santiago. Obviously it could be a while before it has much use. https://debragaasantiago.com/etapas-camino-xacobeo/

    A retraction and an apology

    In the thread @peregrina2000 opened for discussion on Coronavirus I used the word selfish, it wasn't my intention to hurt or upset other posters, but I realised later that with this subject it is not one I can use such emotive words, lots of pilgrims are feeling anguish over their decisions...
