A helpful pilgrim also sent me this map in case anyone is interested.
As a choice, which route would you suggest taking? The aquaduct or the more northern path into Rates?
Hi fellow pilgrims,
I'm wondering if anyone might have a screenshot of the route between Vila do Conde & Rates? I've heard that the cut across from the Coastal Route to the Central Route isn't that well marked & it can be easy to loose the path. I believe the Brierley guide has some information...
On the Camino in April/May I used a sleeping bag from an absolutely fantastic company in Poland called Cumulus. Before I went, I spent months and months scouring through the internet & reading about every damn lightweight sleeping bag ever invented; exhausting & tedious but it absolutely paid...
Well, I made it but it wasn't without it's challenges & as my post suggests, a hell of a lot of pain!
I'm just so grateful to everyone who offered their suggestions, kind words & support when I was stuck in London. It was a really scary time & I honestly thought my Camino was over. Little did I...
Wow! Thank you so much Jill. That's incredibly high praise coming from you :)
Allow me....
Its been a little over 3 weeks now since my last day on the Camino de Santiago & in the space of that time, the memory & the mourning for being back on The Way has its moments of feeling palpable. The...
So, I made it to Logrono, all the logistics worked out & I’m now here messaging from Leon after walking in at around lunchtime. I can’t believe I’ve made it this far & every day I’m just so thrilled to be here.
That being said, starting in Logrono with an injury has caused new injuries along...
Brilliant! The website is a bit vague regarding details and the booking section doesn’t seem to work, so it made me feel a bit nervous relying too heavily on the 6.30pm service being legit. Hopefully it’s all systems go when I get there on Saturday
Has anyone heard of Cuadra Bus? I’ve found this website that indicates that there’s a 6.30pm bus from Bilbao to Logrono but it’s vague & I don’t seem to be able to book

Hi Pilgrims,
As a lot of you might know, I had to unfortunately cancel my Camino last week, 11 hours before flying to SJPDP with an ankle injury. I’ve had time to rest & get a proper diagnosis here in London, so now I’m ready to head to the Camino & join my friends in Logrono.
I’m currently...
So a week has gone by now since I had to make the decision to pull out starting my camino in SJPDP with my friends. It’s been a really rough week here in London, but after a lot of appointments and troubleshooting I finally got a diagnosis on my ankle. I’ve developed Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome after...
It absolutely breaks my heart to post this, but in the past few hours it’s finally all come crashing to a head. I won’t be leaving tomorrow on my Camino. The Camino I’ve spent 2 years planning, obsessing over & have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on. All the flights, accommodation...
I just got back from the physio. He was really good. Its good news and bad news unfortunately. He used an sonar ultrasound & thinks he found a stress fracture in my ankle. He said that the strapping will have made it worse because it hasn’t allowed me free movement of my calf, so for now I don’t...
So it’s 24hrs now until I fly out to SJPDP & I’ve just confirmed my accommodation. I’ve woken up in London this morning with a new determination to make this work, one way or another. I like the idea of cycling as an option if I’m physically not able to walk, but I’m sure as hell going to try...
This message means everything to me Robo, I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am that you took the time to share your experience. I know every situation & every injury is different but like you, if I can just take the fear out of it by offering myself one day at a time it might help. I...
