    Alicante to Orito

    I’ve been comparing the route out of Alicante to Orito on the Buen Camino App vs the Wikiloc routes from RayYRosa and others and the Buen Camino App route seems more direct. Buen Camino turns on Calle Agemenon to go south of Fontcalent (mountain/ridge?) where the the Wikiloc routes go up to...

    A Coruna question

    I may be able to travel to Spain twice next year, the spring to walk the Ruta de Lana and go in the fall as well. I’m looking at the Ingles this fall, and to sell the trip to my better half, I was thinking of renting an apartment in A Coruna for a week while I walk. We do not plan to rent a...

    Concrete on Ruta de Lana

    Having just completed the Camino de Madrid and the reduced concrete/road walking that was involved (1st day excluded), I’d like to walk another route with less concrete like the Madrid. The posted videos seem to indicate a fair amount the first 4-5 days on the Lana. How much concrete or road...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Madrid - Starting September 2023

    Started yesterday in Madrid and walked to Tres Cantos. I get now why people say take the train to Tres Cantos and start there. Although I like Madrid a lot, walking so many miles on concrete and then still having to walk along the freeway for hours wasn’t such a great experience. I got my...

    Camino de Madrid and coffee

    In reading Sharpy’s and David’s posts on the Madrid I’m getting concerned that one of my favorite parts of the Camino may be in jeopardy; my morning cafe con leche. For those that have done it, were you able to have one daily and if so did it require late morning starts to have coffee where you...

    Any Camino Madrid Update

    Anyone currently walking or recently finished the Camino Madrid? Not much in the way of posts in the last 30 days and I’m curious if anyone has anything to say. I’m interested in particular about the albergues in Alcazaren and Penaflor de Hornija, and most importantly the ease or difficulty in...

    Sahagun or Valladolid

    It looks like I’ll have an extra day at the end of walking the Camino de Madrid this fall. If you had an extra day would you spend it in Sahagun or Valladolid and why?

    Simancas or Valladolid

    I’m planning my stages this fall and trying to decide whether to walk from Alcazaren to Simancas (30k) or to Valladolid (35k). Puente Duero (25k) is a little closer but the posts I’ve seen paint the town in an unflattering light. Is Valladolid worth the extra wear and tear on my body? Any thoughts?

    Conditions in Roncesvalles

    I’m hearing the Camino between Roncevalles and Zubiri is currently covered in snow and you have to walk on the road between the two towns. Anyone currently walking that can give an update?

    Issues entering Spain?

    I have a friend traveling to Madrid as the entry point for them doing the Camino next month and they read the entry requirements which require proof of finances for € 90 daily and if using a credit card for that proof a bank statement or the credit card statement. My friend is staying 3 weeks...

    Which Enlightened Equipment quilt

    I’m trying to decide on which temperature rated Enlightened Equipment Quilt for Camino Frances for the 1st week of March and probably the Plata the same time next year. I run cold and I’m trying to decide between the 30 or 40 degree rated quilt. For those that walk in the shoulder season how...

    Taxi to Roncevalles/SJPP

    I’m traveling from Pamplona to Roncevalles in early March and arrive around 6pm in Pamplona. If taking a taxi to Roncevalles would I be able to share a taxi with those going to SJPP? I wasn’t sure if it’s on the route there. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
