    Beware of Phishing Scam Targeting Booking dot com Reservations

    I received a similar message that came through booking.com and not via email. It followed a thread of previous conversations with the host so I assumed it to be valid and completed the “card verification” out of trust. They later responded that it was indeed invalid. Checking credit card every...

    Lisbon walkway

    Still closed. Looks like it’s open but then there is a fence that stops you after about 10 min.

    Question about early days out of Lisbon

    I have tried to read through a few posts on this topic so that I do not annoyingly repeat questions already asked/answered..I will do my best. My husband and I are leaving out of Lisbon on August 31st. I understand that the new route should be finished by then. Based on what I have read, many...

    Sending Luggage from Italy to Santiago on the Portuguese Route

    Hello- Just want to be sure that this service is up and running still as the post is a bit old. We will be walking the Portuguese route in September and would like to send a package to Santiago from Italy.

    A Via Francigena Wave in 2022 ?

    I have been wanting to walk in Italy for a while but have had a hard time finding guide books in English that provide enough information to make me feel comfortable setting out. Do you plan to use a book or app as a guide?

    France to Italy

    Hello fellow pilgrims- I am thinking of taking a few months to hike from Portugal to Italy (Lucca) I can follow the route from Lisbon to Santiago, then Santiago to SJPDP but then the way though France from there seems fragmented. As far as I can tell, all southern French routes end at Arles...

    Bedbug Free Nights on the Camino

    I just bought this liner yesterday! I hiked the CF in September/October two years ago with a bed bug sheet that I laid under my treated sleeping bag and STILL got bites and spend countless hours washing and drying my clothes and pack. Not my favorite memory of the Camino but looking back...

    Advice on 2nd Camino- Frances or something new??

    Hello, fellow pilgrims! I am seeking advice on a 2nd camino. I walked the Frances from SJPdP to Santiago alone last September and found it to be life-changing to say the least. A year later, I feel that very common pull to go back. This time I will walk with my husband and only have two weeks at...

    The Danger of using Permethrin to prevent Bed Bugs.

    I have been on the Camino for 10 days and have found bed bugs in my lodgings 3 times so far and am covered in bites as is my walking partner. I beg to differ!

    LIVE from the Camino More bed bugs!!

    I am now at the Albergue de Pelegrínos and all seems well. Fingers crossed! This issue with bed bugs does somewhat distract from the mental calm and clarity that I was hoping to gain along The Way.

    LIVE from the Camino More bed bugs!!

    Turns out I must be cursed. Checked into the convent in Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Set my bag down and checked the bed. Found a bug right away. The woman next to me also saw one crawling on the wall. As per usual, took a picture, killed it and got my money back. 9th day on the Camino and 3rd...

    LIVE from the Camino More bed bugs!!

    Soaked it. ;( But haven’t been using my sleeping bag as the private hostels have bedding which I foolishly trusted. Tonight I will be sleeping in my treated bag on top of my bed bug sheet. Hopefully I will have a bug free night and get some much needed sleep.

    LIVE from the Camino More bed bugs!!

    Day 7 on my Camino. Woke up at 1:00 am to find two bed bugs crawling on me and a number of fresh bites at Pension Logroño. Later saw one crawling on the wall. Didn’t know what to do as where would I go at that hour. Killed one then slept the rest of the night on my “bed bug sheet” with the...

    Bed bugs in Roncesvalles

    Turns out we did get bitten but took a day or two to show up. Have gone through the process of washing/drying everything twice now just to be safe. We have met several people enroute who have bites as well.
