    Grado's council run hostel is great. Has been booked early afternoon. So try get there by 2. There're private ones too. If you stop at salas, there is a nice one for 10 euro, including breakfast. It's called el rey casto.

    Pilgrim Routes within UK and Ireland

    Te Wicklow way outside Dublin is good, the Sheepshead Peninsula in Cork is good too, not sure if you could call them pilgrim routes but they are spectacular.

    Just back from my first camino... (and no blisters!!)

    Good, should be a cardinal rule, don't buy hiking boots to do Camino's, use what you have or have a well broken in pair, I have used hiking sandals and they have worked really well on two Camino's. thanks for the post. Pat

    Can anyone help with a starting point? : )

    Hi, start on the outskirts of Porto at Matosinhos, the metro runs out there, walk along the coast to Villa de Conde, achievable in one day. Walk as far as you can, there are buses going to Santiago from a lot of the towns on the route, so if you run out of time you should be able to connect with...

    Starting at French border instead of SJPP?

    If you are fit and willing I think the start in SJPP is worth the hassle, though a lot of people starting off in SJPP complain about picking up injuries over the first arduous day, it is tough going but worth it if you are fit enough. Good luck. Pat

    FICS Forum: Why Change the 100 km. rule to 300 km.?

    Good idea in theory, so many people have reasons for only completing 100km's, often it has to do with poor health, or a lack of time. I have heard some heart warming stories about people completing the Camino before passing on. So any decision, on giving out recognition for those who walk under...

    Is this a bad idea? (footwear)

    If they worked for you before why change? I ad huge issues with my 'expensive walking shoes' on my first Camino, I ended up buying a pair of sandals after 150 km's of sore feet, they worked really well, name of the company, Source, they make open sandals with sturdy material, saved my feet and...
