    The Cockleshell Pilgrim, A Medieval Journey to Compostela

    This book by Katherine Lack landed on my doormat last week. I ordered it having found her Frontstalag 142, The Internment Diary of an English Lady fascinating, not least because my grandmother and aunt must have been interned with Fanny Twemlow both in the Vauban fort at Besancon and in Vittel...

    Camino de Madrid

    Hello I am in the planning phase of the Camino de Madrid. Hoping to start walking in late May. The Confraternity of James' guidebook in out of print and no longer available, so I have been basing my research on the Virtual Camino de Madrid thread on this Forum (extremely helpful) and picking up...

    GR221 (Ruta De Pedra En Sec / The Dry Stone Route) - Mallorca

    Hello. We're flying out to Palma de Mallorca tomorrow and after a few days of R&R on the beach and in the sun I'll be setting off on the Ruta De Pedra en Sec/GR221. Not a Camino de Santiago but if enough people are interested I'd be more than happy to post some facts and impressions. Alfin del...

    LIVE from the Camino From Cuenca to Siguenza on the Lana

    I finally made it back to Cuenca after a hiatus of just over three years. Flew in to Madrid yesterday and overnighted in the albergue last night. Now sitting in Bar Goyo in Villar de Domingo Garcia knocking back cañas waiting for Pavlov's feeding bell at 20:00. My plans have changed a little...

    Question about Salmeron to Trillo, via Tetas de Viana - on the Lana

    Any thoughts about Salmeron to Trillo via Tetas de Viana in one stage? Salmeron - Viana de Mondejar - Teta Redonda - Trillo. Salmeron to Trillo appears to be circa 30 kms via the standard routing. Ascent and descent another 2 to 3 hours? Long day but possible? Much would depend on weather...

    LIVE from the Camino Ruta de la Lana (and some Quijote/Cervantes)

    Setting out tomorrow from Almansa. For reasons of time I'm only going to walk as far as Cuenca this year (I've already walked previously from Alicante to Almansa on the Sureste). I hope to complete the Ruta de la Lana, as far as Burgos, next year. I'll be using the Sagrada Trinidad of the IGN...

    Levante/Sureste/Don Quixote

    Been trying to do some online research on these routes. Its all pretty skinny but some here have been of great help. I still have a number of questions. I'll be setting off at the end of September. I've got 18 days. Haven't decided on whether to set off from Valencia or Alicante. I'm open to...
