    St Jean to Muxia in 20 days - or less!

    Great personal challenge. Enjoy it (okay, I know it's going to be hard but what's a challenge if it's easy?).

    Weather in September near Col de Somport

    Never having been in that area I have no special knowledge, but does this help at all? https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/historyclimate/climatemodelled/somport_spain_3108717

    Salamanca Rest Day: Your tips

    There is a museum of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Fascinating and colourful.

    What happened to Forum member Alexwalker?

    I hope this helps you, Alex. Whether or not your eventual diagnosis is the same as mine was, please do let us all know how you get on and certainly when you are better.

    What happened to Forum member Alexwalker?

    I don't recall trembling before each episode; just feeling faint for 5 or so seconds and sinking almost down to the ground and then immediately regaining strength to stand up again. I was lucky in that eventually my GP gave me a small device to use at home to record my cardiogram on my mobile...

    What happened to Forum member Alexwalker?

    I started (almost ) fainting soon after I finished my 1st camino in 2017. After some weeks of occasionally feeling dizzy and then almost (but not quite) collapsing to the ground and then standing up again almost immediately, it was discovered I had something called pre-syncope when my heart...

    Unique Replies to 'Buen Camino': Personalizing the Traditional Greeting

    This may sound a little O.T.T. but my reply on my last camino was: "gracias y buen camino en su vida tambien". Which translates as: Thank you, buen camino in your life also. It was always received well. Of course, this doesn't work for a "buen camino" called out from a speeding cyclist or...

    Why I am Considering Leaving This Forum

    Why think in hierarchical terms such as "newbie" and, by implication, "experienced, seen and heard it all before"? Arent we all "Peregrinos" plain and simple - whether it is our first or tenth Camino? And aren't helpfulness, humility and tolerance desirable attributes in a pilgrim?

    Why I am Considering Leaving This Forum

    In general people are more intelligent than we think. If there is some bad advice (in your or anyone else's opinion) there is far, far more good. We can separate the wheat from the chaff.

    In Sansol - shot in head with BB gun!!

    Surely it MUST be reported. The next victim might be blinded or even worse.

    Rouen - Mont-Saint Michel

    Rouen - Mont-Saint Michel

    Hello Ozaj. I am thinking of doing Winchester, Mont St Michel, Norte, SdC in 2022. Any advice would be welcome, especially accommodation and costs on the Pilgrim Way to Canterbury.

    Walking from UK to Santiago

    I too am planning a similar walk. Portsmouth to Canterbury; Dover to Calais; Calais through France to the Norte to SdC. Early days yet and I only have a rough plan for next year.

    Advice for getting bag from Porto to Algarve

    I did the same before the Sureste in 2019. The main Post office was very helpful and they even had various sized boxes for sale to put stuff in if you need it.

    Weather information for Spain and Portugal

    For a simple overview of the daily local forecast giving figures and pictorial information I have used XCWeather.co.uk . I used it on holiday in Portugal last year and will use it on my next camino. You put in your current location - e.g. Porto, or Seville or wherever your nearest town is; or...

    how to travel the camino for first timer from malaysia asia

    Yes, Celina. I walked from Seville to Salamanca on the Via de la Plata and then did the Portuguese Camino from Porto to Santiago. I also did the Sureste from Alicante. If you want to do the Frances (the most popular one) then I'm afraid I haven't done that one. Many, many others on this forum...
