    Using Gronze for accommodation from Malaga

    A heads up for anyone planning a camino from Malaga...Whilst planning my next camino to Cordoba, I noticed that Gronze lists the various stages, distances and accommodation options (mostly available on Booking.com), but there's little to no mention of the municipal albergues that are shown in...

    Via Augusta in December 2022 - some thoughts

    Well I walked the Via Augusta from Cadiz to Seville - 6 days from last Tuesday 13th to Sunday 18th December 2022. The consensus of those who have previously completed the route seemed to be it is a bit boring, with very few fellow walkers/pilgrims, and few places to stop for refreshments. So...

    Unfinished Business: my (Interupted) Camino de Madrid

    Rather belatedly (!) I got round to writing up some notes from my Camino last year. It didn't quite turn out as planned but that's not unusual. Anyway, I found reading the summaries of other walkers/pilgrims to be of huge value when I was planning the trip and made a promise to myself that I...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Accommodation advice - Simancas, Medina, an Villalon

    Hi I am currently walking the Camino de Madrid. All seemed relatively well until this morning when a lady in Santa Maria told me all albergues are officially closed - she showed me a spreadsheet on her phone with the albergues marked in red. The position was later confirmed when I arrived in...

    Which Camino for 14 days in March?

    Got the itch and can't wait to the summer (June-August) to scratch it. So I'm thinking of spending 14 or so days walking in March (probably the first half as i have family commitments at the end of March). But which route? Factors to consider: I'm happy walking alone; I'd prefer a mix of...

    An observation

    On the Ingles currently at Sigueiro and it occurred to me while walking this morning that, whilst being comparatively quiet, I've seen a lot more women walking the route than men. Not scientific and a limited sample, but by the end of today I've seen around 30 women and only 10 men. The...

    New Article - Le Puy, Norte, Primitivo & Finisterre

    Interesting article and well done young lady - https://www.cicerone.co.uk/walking-1000-miles-across-france-and-spain-on-the-camino-de-santiago?utm_campaign=Extra0619&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter.

    CdM Accommodation Advice - Simancas & Medina de Rioseco

    I'm actively planning walking the Camino de Madrid starting on August 17th (I know it will be HOT but that's when I'm free and have walked the CF in late July/early August). I have been looking at the excellent CJS guide (superb value for £4) and the accommodation pdf from this sub-forum -...

We are flying into Porto airport and want to join the Camino at Moreira (we are staying in Vilarinho that night). So...

    a warning and a Request

    The warning...last June I walked the Camino from St Jean to Santiago in 22 1/2 days. All along the way I met people doing it for the second, third, fourth time and said - "there's no way I'm doing this again - I'm glad I'm doing it but once is enough" . Then after about 3 weeks of finishing...
