    Not finding a bed from Cea on

    I had the same problem a few days before Seville on the Augusta, once upon a time. It was a wet night but I dried out the next day. What did I learn from that? Add the public and religous holidays of countries that I will transit to my MS Outlook calender. It doesn't guarantee a bed, but it does...

    Laundry advice

    My previous wanderings have not been on popular routes, although I will soon be braving the crowds. I am usually washing my clothes in a bucket or a sink. If a machine is available I will use it. What you might like to try is a habit that my (now) wife and I have developed on those less popular...

    Special Compostela for pilgrims walking longer distances?

    I walked a day or so out of Saville (Via de la Plata) with a young Spanish man, a couple of years ago. We talked about the 100km rush and he said that in Spain it is easier to get a job if you have a Compsotella. I asked why he was walking from Seville, his answer was that he was happy with his...

    Hi Mournes. The facebook page does not appear to have been updated since Sep 2017. The links on that page are broken. Do you know if they are still active/open?

    A gentleman's undercarriage question regarding chafing......

    I have staggered a dozen or so marathons prior to walking various distances from jungle to snow. The story is the same: protect your nipples and your bits, otherwise God would not have invented Vaseline. Everyone has different assets that they choose to carry in different ways. But seriously...

    Thanks Margaret, I am probably 5 days away from there and trying to avoid the instinctive rush to the End. Roman is my interest and I was wondering about the site so now I can shape my plan a little more. Is it a full day site or just half?

    Not a blog from Kanga

    Thanks for that. Most recent information from " the experts" is that it is due to Game of Thrones. Probably doesn't matter, closed to tourist is still closed. With luck the path will dry A bit. Hope to bump into you on the way, happy trails. ;-)

    Hi Kanga, I completed Augusta yesterday arvo and was enquiring at the INFORMATION place near the Cathedral about Italia They Told me it was closed. I had planned on bussing out today so I could concentrate on starting VDLP. Was I told a fib?

    Via de La Plata from Cadiz to Muxia in Spring

    Hi all, this is my first post and will be my first Camino. I am planning to start the Augusta in the last week in Apr 18. I plan to use this as a final test of my equipment and to understand the people I am liable to deal with over the following weeks on the VDLP as I make my way to Finesterre...
