    LIVE from the Camino Conditions on Via de la Plata

    That sucks! I am starting from Sevilla on Saturday 2 weeks from today, and hope it will have dried by then. Saw in the Weather App that it is raining heavily today. Enjoy your Camino nevertheless! And any tips or current info are welcome! :-)

    A quick answer is much appreciated train transfer time

    Depends on whether your train arrives punctually.

    Younger? You were already drinking as a minor? Lol!

    Intermittent fasting on the Camino

    The more vino tinto, the better I sleep. Might not apply for the others sharing the dorm 🤣🤣🤣

    Intermittent fasting on the Camino

    A menu Peregrino at 7 pm and as much vino tinto as came with it. Just a coffee in the mit big. A piece of tortilla patata around 10 am (so 15 hours after the meal). No lunch.

    Poll Credencial nearly full with three days to go. Do you...

    Just use the back side, where the text and the maps are. I have done that on every Camino.

    Live… average daily cost

    I have been walking StJdP - Arzua the past 35 days, Camino Frances to Leon, San Salvador Leon-Oviedo and the Primitivo from there. Private albergues have been between 12€ and 20€ for the bed (municipals and church albergues between 7€ and 14€). Dinner menu Peregrino has been 12€-17€. So...

    Descent into Molinaseca

    Yes. The country road with very little traffic runs more or less parallel to the Camino path all the way down to Molinaseca. It is about 1 km longer, however you get to enjoy the wonderful view all the way down instead of looking down at the path and being scared of slipping or falling. On my...

    I am walking the Frances at the moment, am in Villamayor de Montjardin at the moment. I found amend every night upto now … Orisson I had booked early, all others I just called the evening before. There were beds free at night in all albergues since Orisson. I have not felt any stress and...

    Ryanair charging to check poles in Santiago

    Whether poles are allowed as cabin baggage or not is primarily a regulation by airport security, not the airline. I have flown from Santiago 6 times, always with normal poles (not telescopic). Lufthansa just checks them in for free. With Ryanair, I didn’t bother to argue at the check in counter...

    Current food/drink prices on the Camino Frances, and Trail Angels

    The prices for accommodation (albergues etc) went up by 50% and more during the pandemic. That was justified, since there were far fewer pilgrims and higher costs for meeting the hygiene guidelines (only 50% beds occupiable, constant disinfection etc etc). However since 2022 the Camino (at least...

    SJPP to Santiago in 30 days?

    I just completed my Camino Frances a week ago. SJPdP to Santiago in 30 walking days, and from there to Finisterre in 3 days. I am about twice your age, not the fittest, though I have walked this same Camino a few times before, so knew what to expect, knew the trail by heart, and didn’t need...

    In Sansol - shot in head with BB gun!!

    Three days ago waking from San Juan de Ortega to Ages, I thought someone shot at me too. There was the pop of a rifle from the left, and a rustle in the bush on the right across the road. I could see anyone, but a minute later Inheard someone running among the trees. I thought about reporting...

    Charged twice in Triacastella for the same item.

    I would just dispute the transaction via the credit card provider. That is the standard process l, the easiest and the best. The merchant won’t be able to prove that they sold you the item twice. So depending on what CC you used, you sooner or later will get your money back. Amex sooner, MC or...

    Rest Day between Leon and Sarria

    If you are looking for a nice and quiet place, try Casa Simon in Triacastela (15 km before Sarria). Or even quieter, the beautiful Albergue Casa Flor in Murias de Rechivaldo (5 km after Astorga, call Miriam, the lively and lovely Italian chica who runs it (and speaks English).

    Walking the Camino with a dog - Experiences?

    Thanks LavanyaLea! I would love to hear of your experiences after your upcoming camino. Your tips and info sources are most helpful! Thank you for taking the time to write all that down. I had been thinking of transportation to Spain and back too (from Germany). Driving by car and leaving the...

    Walking the Camino with a dog - Experiences?

    Money or time don’t have anything to do with it. My dog has changed owners twice already, and I don’t want to stress him more by making him live with someone else while I am gone. My question here was to get experiences from others who have walked with their dogs. Not to have a moral discussion...
