    Valcarlos albergue 2019

    Hi guys, So I'm days away from starting my camino....and I guess I have a starter for 10. I get into SJPP at around 2pm...so in theory I could walk to Valcarlos before 5pm. As we are on a Tuesday in September...what are your thoughts about capacity in Valcarlos, and is it reasonable to get...

    How Important Is The Compostela?

    Hi guys, Just a straw poll really to see what the general thoughts are around the importance of a Compostela?

    Does having a half-full pack affect the weight distribution in a pack?

    Hi guys, Apologize if this has been asked before, but despite searching I've not come across the answer elsewhere. I currently have a 70l pack that is comfortable and relatively light. However, the equipment I would take would fill less than half of it. My question is that if this is...

    What Makes A Camino Musical?

    Okay, so I guess this may be something that pilgrims do not necessarily think about....but how do we all absorb musicals such as Les Miserables or another of the major Christian musicals? I am not, in the strictest interpretation, a Christian pilgrim, but I do want to complete the route from La...

    Ferrol to Finisterra .... (and beyond?)

    Hi guys, I'll be starting off my second Camino experience (I did Leon to Santiago around this time last year) on 7 September, flying in to A Coruna the day before, then catching the 7am train over to Ferrol on Wednesday morning to pick up a sello, a desayuno (hopefully!) and get these legs...
