    Could you be a Hospitable Hermit?

    I shall arrive there in a few days. Just out of curiosity: what’s the hostal’s name and how much did it cost? I understand I’m arriving too early to appreciate the albergue?

    walking from Toledo to Zamora

    Dear fellow pilgrims, any ideas of an alternative low budget place to sleep in Toro?

    The new official last part of the Camino del Norte

    I walked it last year. Just what I was waiting for. Very calm, you're walking through the woods and join the French Road (Highway to be more precise) at the point of the airport. It you stay in Boimorto, it's a wonderful option for the last day(s). When this loud river from the French Way...

    Accommodation in Madrid

    I've once slept at the Korean albergue. Very nice, but I'm not sure whether you'll be able to book it last minute. http://cachinyeon.wixsite.com/madrid

    My plan for August/September

    Actually, I liked CdM in its totality. You have very nice Villalón de Campos and Grajal de Campos. And the landscapes are also worth seeing, though surely not spectacular. I would rather skip the part between Sahagun and Leon. But, of course, you'll choose what's right for and it will be the...

    New marking in Valencia City

    Brilliant! I'll be thinking about you while walking the way this September :)

    Best Print Guide?

    If you're reading German, French or Spanish, the best is the one by Cordula Rabe of the German edition Rother. Very nice maps that would help you find alternative ways in case of any difficulties, adresses, telephones and quite a lot of cultural and historic background. And the size that just...

    What were your stages on the Norte?

    3rd time on Camino. . .struggling to decide. . .

    Frankly, I've got mixed feelings. Probably, because I had such a great expectations and for the first (and for a long time the only) time I could afford nearly a month, so it was supposed to be THE camino for me. What I've found great were of course the views and the camino in itself. On the...

    3rd time on Camino. . .struggling to decide. . .

    Normally I should start the early September, but I have only about 2 weeks so I will get to Toledo at most.

    3rd time on Camino. . .struggling to decide. . .

    Have You thought of Levante or Sureste? I'm starting this year Levante and especially the central part seems to be very promising. You're passing through La Mancha crossing Quijote routes, Toledo (!) and than the land of Isabel Catolica in Castilla with fabulous sights and castels. Then you can...

    Starting in Valencia(few questions)

    It depends on what you're looking for. I haven't done the connection between Granja and Frances (Benavente), but I know both Frances and Sanabres (Ourense). Surely you'll find way more pilgrims if you choose the Benavente/Frances option. There will be a lot of picturesque villages and of course...

    Ponferrada-Santiago 7-8 walking days

    Hi! I think it's absolutely possible. I'm your age and I did it 3 years ago with my backpack and a group of 12 students of whom I was responsible (so I had to assure a common accommodation for all of us). Our plan was quite similar as the one of Bradypus: Ponferada - Villafranca 24,6 km...

    August Camino

    I've done it last year in August. Certainly the worst heat possible, but as a person who doesn't support the high temperatures very well I will always affirm it was one of the best caminos I've ever done. Peace, solitude and the beautiful surroundings. Most of the time, I was alone in the...

    Maxim

    It depends on the "standard" of your accommodation and meals you chose. I usually prepare myself the meals and sleep in the cheapest albergues so last years (though not on the Norte) I was able to spend 10-20€ daily with the average of 12€. However, it worked for me. I know my body and it was...

    Starting camino del norte

    I would (almost) totally trust Gronze. That's true that the maps aren't as precise as one would like, but the descriptions are quire clear. I've bought the newest edition of the Rother's guide (the famous German) in French. And nonetheless I've already found some places where it isn't up to date...

    Any ideas for accommodation in Madrid

    I recommend Korean albergue: http://cachinyeon.wixsite.com/madrid It's located in the northern Madrid within an easy access by underground. It's really cosy. The cost is 20 euro. I stayed there last year before camino. Then I had about 2 km to join the way before Fuencarral.
