    Camino Ingles - how immersive an experience have you found it?

    Hi there. I’m thinking of spending around five to seven days walking the Ingles, and would be interested in getting some input. I’ve walked the Portuges from Porto to Santiago, before continuing on to Muxia. A wonderful experience! All together, I probably spent about twenty days walking...

    Ingles weather in May - something resembling a real question

    This question is probably unworthy of this forum, but since it's unlikely to be my first such transgression, why not go for it? I have an eye on walking the Camino Ingles in May (my plan at the moment is to land in Ferrol, and sometime before or once I get there, decide to either walk to...

    Trip report from Ingles August 2019

    Thanks, @Becky 59 . Trying to extract myself from the rabbit hole of researching different walk/train options on the internet. But it's such a fun rabbit hole :) !

    Trip report from Ingles August 2019

    @Becky 59 This was really helpful to see. I'm thinking of walking the Ingles, and based on my previous experience on the Portugues, I found myself thinking I'd like to walk shorter stages so as to be more present to my surroundings and get to know the communities through which I'm walking...

    Conflicted - Going Afoot or Going by the FEVE railway (or both)?

    Of course, my heart is saying....both, I want both! Kidding aside, though, I think you're right. Both do appeal, but hopefully I can tune into something other than intellect in finding my answer. I may just pack like a Camino walker, which can't hurt if I'm merely a train rambler, and decide...

    Conflicted - Going Afoot or Going by the FEVE railway (or both)?

    Kind of reminds me of the lyrics from "The City of New Orleans"...fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders, three conductors, twenty-five sacks of mail Thanks for forewarning me about the views.

    CPAP Machines and Albergues

    I'm sorry sleeping with a CPAP machine has been a problem for you. Although I often find mine to be a distraction, most nights the quality of my sleep is about 500% better than it was before I got it. I already have a travel machine, so I guess MAD isn't for me (unfortunately, lower case "mad"...

    CPAP Machines and Albergues

    Hi, there. I know this topic has shown up in some threads, but as most of the comments I've seen seem to come from other CPAP users, I'd be interested in hearing from those who aren't. Most likely, I'll get a range of responses, but I'm curious to hear from those who would care to indulge the...

    Conflicted - Going Afoot or Going by the FEVE railway (or both)?

    Slow and enjoyable. Now that's the way (no pun intended)!!

    Conflicted - Going Afoot or Going by the FEVE railway (or both)?

    Hey, everyone. Would welcome your thoughts, especially from anyone who has experience both Camino-walking and riding the FEVE railway. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had was walking the Portugues from Porto to SDC and then Muxia (first half in 2017, second half in 2018). I’m going to...

    Vigo to santiago

    Hi. For what it’s worth, when I went in May, I had a fair bit of difficulty finding waymarka from Vigo for quire a while. Perhaps I missed one or two, and that threw me off course. Having Johnnie Walker’s guide with me set me straight. After the first 6 or 10k or so, it was pretty smooth...

    Bus Transportation to Muxia and back & Where to Stay

    Your plan to spend a few days in Muxía sounds great. I just finished my walk there, and time only allowed me to spend one night. Though not a lot seems to go on there, it was a great place for me to give some closure to my walk on the Portugues, and I would have happily spent more time there if...

    Torn, I tell you...commiseration (and bonus answers) welcome

    As @trecile has noted, I did in fact make the walk. I’m a slow walker by nature, so going from Santiago to Muxía in three days was a serious push for me. I’m glad I made the effort, though. I really liked the landscape on the first two days, and being at the sea in the end gave things a quality...

    Torn, I tell you...commiseration (and bonus answers) welcome

    Well I guess this illustrates how we all have unique tastes. I decided to go for it, and am now walking. Though really long, I found a great deal of the walk between Negreira and Oliveira beautiful, even breathtaking. I guess it helps that I have a thing for prairie, rolling hills and big sky :)

    Darn. That was supposed to be its, not it’s.

    Torn, I tell you...commiseration (and bonus answers) welcome

    Hi, everyone. Thank you for all your responses. My body’s not at it’s best, but as my appetite will attest, not at its worst, either. I’ll see what it has to say in the morning, and either listen or endeavour to override. One nice bonus is that I like Santiago far more than I’d anticipated...

    Torn, I tell you...commiseration (and bonus answers) welcome

    Thanks, Faith. That’s similar to how I made my decision on whether or not to take the Spiritual Variant. I’d reflected a fair bit in advance, it it was only once I reached the literal fork in the road, as it were, that I stood there a while, and fully decided.

    Torn, I tell you...commiseration (and bonus answers) welcome

    I’m torn, I tell you! Camino from Porto to Santiago is about to end. Had planned to walk to the sea afterwards (Finisterre or Muxia, not sure). I’d have four days to do it. Been walking with a mild cold (just congestion) for a number of days. Feeling worn down a bit, but I’m still ticking. Want...

    Fisterre/Muxia question

    Take care of yourself! And no matter what happens next, think about what you’ve already accomplished!

    How arduous is the walk to Finistère or Muxía

    Sigh. I meant “frame,” not gram!!
