    Inverno

    Planning our September walk from St. Jean to Santiago. We had a marvelous experience, last April/May, but found that after Sarria the way became more noisy and crowded. We are thinking of taking the Inverno from Ponferrada on to Santiago. I am sure some on the forum has done this and would be...

    Can't find the thread

    Lisbon or Porto?

    We are planning our 2019 Camino. The question is do we start in Lisbon or Porto. We intend to do Finistere and Muxia which we didn't get to on our Frances this spring. We will need to have at least one backpack transportred occasionally and it seems that there is none available between Lisbon...

    Packpack packing

    Getting ready for my April Camino and was wondering if using the plastic compression bags make any sense. Obviousely they will add soms weight but look as though they might reduce volume substantially. I'm certain that there are valuable opinions out there

    Prescription drugs on the camino

    I searched the forum for this and found that the information was dated. Do the pharmacist recognize prescription from U.S. doctors and are the common drugs available in Spain?

    A little help from veterans

    Okay. We have a flight to Madrid arriving on April 7. We will probably want a day or two to resolve the jet lag in Madrid. We don't have a return flight until May 30 so I think we will have time to not only do Finisterre but explore more of Spain. Should we leave our non-pelegrino luggage in...

    reservations

    I think I've decided to start my Camino Frances on April 2nd of 2018. I am looking for advice on accommodations. Is it possible, or more importantly, practical to call ahead day by day for reservations. I have plenty of time and would like the freedom to stay somewhere I like for a few days.
