    Pack recommendations

    Hola peregrinos. I've done 2 camino's now with an Osprey 36 which on the whole has been great. However, I'm 6ft tall and am feeling like it's a bit too short. It does not have an adjustable back, but I do love the trampoline back-ventilation feature. I also love the water bladder feature. My...

    Accommodation at the beginning of the Norte

    Hi. I'm looking for info or suggestions from anyone who has walked the Norte recently. We are a group of 8 starting at the beginning of July.

    Where to Buy Affordable Wooden Walking Sticks in Irun

    Hi everyone. Does anyone have any recent experience buying a wooden walking stick in Irun? It sounds like bringing my poles is going to be a headache since I'm only taking carry on baggage.

    Camino Vadiniense vs Ruta del Besaya

    Hola peregrinos I'm interested to know if anyone has walked one or both of these routes recently and is happy to share their thoughts/experiences?

    Oldest to newest Camino routes

    Hola peregrinos. My first camino last year was the Primitivo. Next year I'm doing the Norte. By chance these are the oldest and second oldest Camino's. I thought it might be interesting to plot my next Camino's by age - from oldest to newest routes. Does anyone know anything about this, or where...

    Norte - entering Santiago from the North via alternate route.

    Hi. Did I read a thread about taking a different route from Ribadeo - continuing westwards on the coast and coming into Santiago from the North - thereby avoiding the masses doing the last 100km. On this map - it looks like it's definately do-able. Has anyone done it? Was it well resourced? How...

    Hello. My husband and I are hoping to do the San Salvador followed by the last half/two thirds of the Norte next year (we'll have one calendar month to do it in). I walked the Primitivo last year in August - 'enjoyed the heat, 'hated the bed racing. From those of you that have done the Norte -...
