    Wicklow Way

    I’m not sure I’m posting this in the correct thread. (moderators, please correct me :)) I’m interested in walking the Wicklow Way (given that time constraints won’t allow for a trip to the start of the Meseta, where I left you, fair Camino...) For anyone who has walked Wicklow: 1) Do you...

    Via Francigena Affordability?

    I’ve walked Porto to Santiago (May/June 2017) and SJPP to Burgos (May/June 2018) and am itching to complete my walk, Burgos to Santiago (or Muxia)....but now Via Francigena has caught my eye... I would likely walk only the Tuscany to Rome section but want to ask: is lodging affordable? Is it...

    #Metoo on Camino

    I'm with a woman I met on the Camino and we are in Estella in the process of filing a report with very receptive police (and a free lawyer " servicio asistencia a la mujer") who are taking our case seriously. Our breasts were groped by an older man on the road, directly following the pilgrim...

    between Burgos and Leon

    Hi! I'm hoping to get some help with a logistical question. I am currently in Pamplona and have been walking since SJPP. My original plan was to walk until Burgos as I have to then take a train to Madrid and catch a flight home on June 10. (I hope all is well with the flight as the French strike...

    SJPP on May 23

    Hi, I'm a New Yorker seeking a break from my country. Arriving in SJPP the evening of May 22 and setting out on the Camino the morning of May 23. Hope to walk to Burgos (but the Meseta calls me, with more time I may walk some of it, return to Burgos and train to Madrid). It's my first Camino...

    Arriving to Biarritz (May 22 @ 4:40pm)

    Hello dear pilgrims! I'm not sure if I'm posting this under the correct category. I'm arriving in Biarritz's airport on May 22 at 4:40pm. Are there pilgrims who'd like to share a car to SJPP? Not sure what the savings is in terms of time/cost by taking a car instead of train.

    Pilgrim Passport

    I walked Porto to Santiago last year in May/June. I am planning for another trip, first time on Camino Frances (starting in SJPP), late in May this year. Can I reuse my stamped pilgrim passport as I have plenty space on my 2017 one? Thank you!

    Camino Frances (16 days of vacation time)

    Hello fellow pilgrims! I walked the Camino Portuguese in May/June 2017 and I need to get back on the path. Life has thrown some tremendous upsets, and I didn't think I'd be walking this one _alone_ again, but I'm ready...come May. I can't walk more than 16 days. Anyone have a section they...

    Love and Love of Solitude

    Dear Pilgrims, Ugh. I've got a profound case of Camino-itis. I took my first Camino (Portuguese coastal) this past May/June and now the way I calm my nervous system, after decades of living in NYC, is to read/YouTube/fantasize about the next Camino. I want to walk again! I am protective of my...

    Recommended place to stay?: Padron -- Santiago

    I'm currently in Caldas de Reis and am looking to walk past Padron tomorrow in order to shorten my walk into Santiago (on my big birthday). Any recommendations for a place to stay the night mid-point? Something private along the lines of pensione or even hotel? Thank you!

    Distances

    Forgive me if this information already exists on this forum, but I'm too tired after walking to Baiona to locate it. ☺️ Can anyone provide the accurate distances between these cities?: (Also, curious to hear from you how many days it took you to walk this.) Ramallosa - Freixo Freixo -...

    Place to stay post-Esposende

    I'm in the town of Esposende in the pine forest called Ophir between the Cavado River and the Atlantic. Strange, amazing 1970s time capsule hotel in the middle of pine forest. I am having difficulty evenly mapping a walk day by day. The Portuguese coastal way seems to be lacking in albergues...

    Mean, uncompromising mind

    File under "psychology": I'm currently in Matosinhos. I ended up really enjoying Porto for two days so I delayed the beginning of my camino (but as we all know, it begins when we decide to take it!). I've become absolutely obsessive about not having walked the coast to Matoshinos, I "promised...

    Matosinhos to Vila do Conde

    Anyone know of a nice place to sleep if I grow weary walking between Matosinhos and VdoC? I'm pushing the day/my energy levels by borrowing a bike from the hostel tomorrow before I set out on the Camino and fear I may exhaust easily! (I may come across as a real lightweight here...)

    Booking.com (Good service? any complaints?)

    Has everyone had a good experience with booking.com? Any negative feedback or a better service I should consider (like hostelworld.com)? They also just sent me this promo if for $25 off for me and a "friend" if one of you would like me to send your email the link: "We hope you have a great...

    Porto recommendation

    I leave for my camino (I'm all anticipation and nerves!) in _five_ days. I arrive in Porto on Friday night. Does anyone have any recommendation for a lovely place to stay, possibly for two nights, as I get my bearings and explore Porto prior to launching into my camino? I'm not a rich person so...

    Plug Adapter

    Oh my goodness! I'm leaving for my Camino in five days!!! I am all nerves and disbelief. Can someone settle this for me? I'm in the US and have bought what I believe to be the plug adapter for Portugal and Spain but need verification. Picture attached.

    Sleep sac

    I'm walking Porto to Santiago in late May. Is it essential that I bring a sleeping bag or can I just bring a liner? I'd prefer to not purchase anything (feeling minimal and small budget). And, more of a goofy inquiry, but a sincere one: should I bring a wine key? I've packed my essentials and...
