    What are your favourite places on the Primitivo?

    I stayed in the albergue at Bodenaya and loved it. We had amazing food there and great conversation with the other pilgrims. I also had a room all to myself which was a bonus!

    Where was this photo taken? (filming "The Way")

    It's not very clear but it looks like there are the beehive shaped buildings in the background common in La Rioja. That's my guess, but I could be wrong. You can see a clearer picture of one here: https://ourcaminoturtlewalk.wordpress.com/2018/10/02/day-13-la-rioja-region-of-spain/ I will...

    Albergue situation from Lisbon

    Thanks a lot for this, that's really useful. Amazing that they have a 24h phone number. I hope I don't need it but I will definitely make a note of it.

    Travelling from the UK without flying

    I think you are probably right unfortunately. I am trying to squeeze my camino into my annual leave so I definitely don't have unlimited time.

    Albergue situation from Lisbon

    I'm at the early stages of planning to walk from Lisbon to Santiago this year and am wondering what the albergue situation is like? I have walked the Camino Francés and Primitivo before and didn't do book any accommodation in advance and always managed to find somewhere to stay. Is this the same...

    Travelling from the UK without flying

    I live in Aberdeen so the sleeper is definitely an option. I've used it a few times to get to London and found it really convenient. The prices of trains on the continent are really good. It makes me think this might be possible. Thanks for the advice. I will take a look at Seat61 :)

    Travelling from the UK without flying

    Wow! That sounds like an amazing trip. I'm a keen cyclist myself and am a bit jealous!

    What a shame you had to cancel! Hopefully next year the situation will be better and you can try again. Scotland is beautiful though! I hope you enjoy your time there.

    Travelling from the UK without flying

    How did you find the journey? Was it easy to find all your connections?

    Travelling from the UK without flying

    July I think. I know it's not the best time to be on the Camino because of the heat but that's when I can get the longest stretch of time off from work.

    Travelling from the UK without flying

    I live in Aberdeen and flights are usually quite pricy from here. Then there are two bank holidays in July (only for Aberdeen for some reason) and I was hoping to travel over these dates to get the most time off work possible. The cheapest I found using skyscanner was £265 I think, via Dublin...

    Travelling from the UK without flying

    That’s amazing! I will definitely look into this. Thanks for the suggestion 😊

    Travelling from the UK without flying

    I‘m not trying to start an argument. I have flown to the camino plenty of times and it might be the only practical way. If there was a good alternative I‘d like to know about it though. Especially if someone has experience of dong it over land.

    Travelling from the UK without flying

    If that was a train I wouldn’t mind, but 43 hours on a bus doesn’t sound fun!

    Travelling from the UK without flying

    Are interrail tickets available for anyone. I hadn’t looked into that because I thought they were only for students. Would be perfect though!

    Travelling from the UK without flying

    I am planning to walk the Camino Portuguese this year, hopefully Lisbon - Santiago. Travellng from the UK means a lot flights as there is not direct flight from where I live in Scotland. I feel a bit guilty about this since flying is terrible for the environment and would love to find a...

    Thanks all for the advice (photos)

    This place looked really nice but was unfortunately full when I arrived. They did have an excellent bar/restaurant though with delicious food in huge portions. I spent a lot of time there!
