I’m currently walking Del Norte which is wonderful! The weather is great along with the food, people and accommodation!

Morning All,
I have flights booked to Bilbao this Sunday 16th April returning on 5th May.
My plan was to get a bus to Burgos and walk to Leon - heading back to Bilbao and spend some time there with my other half. I have walked a few sections of the Camino Frances before and last time I...
I 'm wondering how busy people think Easter will be on the Frances this year?

Hi,
I wondered what is the best way to get from Santiago to Porto Airport.
I see there is a direct bus which takes nearly 4 hours. There looks to be a couple of trains but on very early and one quite late which are no good for our flight times.
Has anyone managed a quicker way back t the...
Hello All,
I have 2 weeks off work at the end of September and I'm looking for advice on what would be a good 10 or so days walking on the Camino. I don't really need to finish in Santiago and I did Sarria to Santiago last November so don't want to do that part again (although I really enjoyed...
I was wondering how people find the time to walk a Camino?
My father and I walked from Sarria to Santiago last November and loved it and I was planning on doing the Portuguese Camino from Tui in September.
I'm now thinking I would love to do the whole Frances but with work commitments it is...
Hi All,
I am looking to do the last 100km of the Camino from Sarria to Santiago at the beginning of November 2017. I'm doing it in memory of my mother who always wanted to do it but never got round to it before she sadly passed away.
I am wondering what is the best way to get to Sarria from...
