As I have only walked Caminos in Spain up to now and found the Pilgrim Menus and Menus Del Dia wonderful opportunities to eat a robust meal with a drink for a very reasonable amount. But what about Portugal? Do the restaurants and bars offer a Menu Del Dia just like Spain or is there another...
Thank you all for your helpful tips. We bit the bullet and walked from Osiera to Lalin via Castro Dozon and gave treated ourselves to a hotel and will enjoy a nice meal tonight. Once again thank you all for your incredible assistance.
Hi, My sister and I are in Cea at the moment and plan to stop in the Monestary in Osiera for the next stage. We are limited in how far we can walk due to our age, and have found that if the Albergue in Castro Dozon is still closed we will be in trouble trying to find accommodation within about...
Thank you all for your most welcome advice and information. I may have another Q regarding movement later in the journey once I have fully planned our journey.
My sister and I, (70yo and 67yo at the time), began the VdlP in October 2020 however after arriving at Casar de Caceres and being informed of the closure of the Albergue at Embalse de Alcantara and no accommodation in Casar that night, we returned to Caceres and caught a train to Canaveral the...
My wise pilgrim guide also lists Hostal Alcantara Pesca Evasion as another accommodation other than the Albergue. Is this an error or is this accommodation still available?
I am planning to walk the Via de la Plata and then continue to Fisterra and then on to Muxia where I understand I can get a Compostela/Certificate from all three locations. Can I use the credential signed-off at Santiago and continue to have it stamped for my journey to Fisterra and Muxia or do...
A quick apology. I realise that my claim regarding the maps on the credentials sold on the forum is completely wrong. I can only blame my age on my failing memory. I bought my last credentials in SJPdP and naturally they have only the 'Frances' on the back. I shall order my credentials from...
Thank you all for your feedback, Gerald, thank you for your kind offer, I would be most grateful if you would advise the Hotel Simons position later as I am planning to fly out 26th September. I was hoping to get credentials from the hotel as well as stay there for my first night. I had read...
I'm hoping to start to VdlP at the end of September. Can anyone confirm if walking staffs are available to buy in Seville as they are in SJPdP? I much prefer a staff to a metal stick so if they are there can you let me kmow where? My staff in SJPdP cost me 7 Euros so I would be looking for...
I'll be following your daily updates with interest John. I and my sister are hoping to commence our journey late September/early October. Thanks in advance for all the information.
Thanks Gerald. I'm hoping to do the Via De La Plata in October-November 2020 but I'm concerned regarding the possibility that some Albergues/Pensions which are situated in places which enable a 20-25km walk rather than a 25-40km walk may not be open. I will be doing the Camino with my 70 year...
Many thanks to all responders. I will have a decision to make but fortunately it looks as if I can decide between two good towns for my overnight stay. Since I posted my question my 69 year old siste rhas requested to accompany me on my Camino so I'll see how our old legs are holding up and...
