I walked from Malaga to Cordoba a few weeks ago. Everywhere was open. I note of caution though, distances between places get longer and therefore water is a problem. Obviously no open water to filter. I carried 4 to 5 litres. Buen Camino

Much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I am landing in Malaga just after midnight, next Wednesday morning. After a bit of sleep I’m heading for the Cathedral and then Decathlon to get some camping gas. My plan is to get a bus to the outskirts of town before starting my Camino. I have used the Amigo’s site to...

Has anyone walked this route recently? I am interested in whether Albergues and hostels are now all open.

A long reply. I have used ALSA quite a lot, in common with some Spanish travel providers (trains mainly) they only offer tickets for sale a month or so before the travel date. Check dates nearer now to find prices and timings. I can use a senior qualification to get cheaper tickets which is...

I'm starting from Porto on April 5th and hoping to camp as much as possible (mainly to avoid snorers and early risers). I have located at least 4 or 5 camping grounds on the Coastal and a couple have stated welcoming Peregrinos in the past. So here is hoping

I remember the hill up to the village! Buen Camino

I have used maps.me on the Norte and Mozarabe, it works fine. Zoom in to any area of a map and the app will request you to download the appropriate map. Do this before you leave home. On a days use this app does not run down your phones battery either. If you wanr to be really fully planned, put...

I walked from AslD a couple of years ago. I took 7 days. A few of the days are quite long between villages, 29km the first day! Enjoyed it though.

I have just finished. SJpdP to Santiago and have been reasonably pleased with the behaviour of other Perigrinos. But from Sarria the compassion of other perigrinos has been left behind. In Melide three young people (after arriving at 2pm) put the in-room washing machine on at 9:30 and the dryer...

I have just arrived in Santiago and in the whole cyclists are just as courteous as some groups of occasional walkers. But as an experienced cyclist I can say that over 90% of cyclists are on powered machines.

Yes liner is fine.

Its too hot now for a sleeping bag. Im in Pamplona and haven't used it so far

I'm just past Pamplona, last 3 albergues I stayed in were full, couldn't find anywhere in Pamplona so got taxi to next village where there was 1 bed.

See you in Roncesvalles.

I did this one three years ago now, really enjoyed it. First day from Irun, massive thunder storms, warning signs about taking the high route. Danger of electrocution. Some great Albergues. Late May, not many pilgrims often I was the only one in the Albergue. Never booked ahead. Enjoyed the...

Thanks for your invitation but I'm flying into Biarritz and then already booked train and bus in to SJPdP. Might see you there. Buen Camino

Have you heard of a ride sharing service, Blabla cars? I used it a couple of years ago to get to the start of my Camino from the airport. Wonderful introduction to a country, cheap and convenient.

I will look out for you! I walked the first week of the Frances a few years ago so I applaud your choice to stay an extra night in Hemingway's rest spot. Buen Camin

Consider flying to Biarritz which is then easy to get to your start.
