Thank you all for your replies. I took a dive into past threads and posts to test the waters of tolerance and it appears that there are a multitude of gripes around dormitory living from open or closed windows to rustling bags to lavender sprays to lights, snoring etc etc so tolerance may be an...
Seeking recommendations for bookable albergues between Roncesvalles and Pamplona approximately 15 20 km apart that will give me an inkling of what albergue “living” is like to see whether or not I can hack it.
Reason : I am a 24 carat introvert who is far more comfortable in his own skin than...
Not being able to read Spanish or French without the help of google translate I missed that. Like you I would have ignored it without a moment's thought or concern. I am afraid I cannot agree with your interpretation of of " in an attitude of search " as it excludes the non believer / atheist or...
Kudos to the OP in starting such thought provoking thread. In my later years I consciously try not to pass judgement on others (judge not lest ye be judged ) Rules however have to be followed. The discussion that has developed around what is a pilgrim and when is a pilgrim not a pilgrim I find...
Thank you both for taking the time to. read my ramblings the hamster wheel has stopped at the moment because os S.I. and lower back niggles hope to get it moving in a few days.
Not sure wether to post this here or in the France's section as the hamster wheel I refer to is training for that very camino. It's now almost three years since my last post to this forum when I completed my camino from Viana do Castelo along the costal including the Spiritual Variante. I...
Many thanks for all your responses and recommendations Pontevedra is a strong possibility I suppose rest days will be linked to what I can do daily as opposed to what I think I can do underestimating oneself is a nice way to get an ego boost when you succeed

Read this post and thought well I am not alone. After 500miles of training planning booking flights to Porto I find that my own motivation has disappered up its own gazunda. Now this could be an effect on the chronic insomnia I am undergoing or an an effect of over planning. Now I am either too...
I checked TuiTrans web site and it’s service page states (
We offer this service from Oporto to Santiago de Compostela, along the traditional route or the coast route, as well as the spiritual route.
)
Thanks to others for their info and recommendations
Thanks to those who have responded so far. Hope to include the spiritual variant so it looks like it’s either TuiTrans or Caminofacil. More info welcome

Due to recurring back problems it looks like I am going to have to use baggage transfer.
I will hopefully be using Casa Rural's as well as hotels which indicates a possible problem, TuiTrans t&c,s state that there must be a 24hr reception at the places you intend staying.
Can anyone who has...
I arrive in Porto on 9th Sept. Intend to take train to Viana d Costello or thereabouts on 10th to start walking first overnight stop will be A Guarda will stay on coastal route with the strong possibility of the spiritual variant.hope to cover 15 - 20 km per day. This is my first Camino so will...
No judgement was intended however if you wish to interpret it as such it’s your prerogative. I am however surprised that a disabled person did not choose thier words more carefully eg “the person” in the wheelchair to remove such objectification from everyday use..
Excuse my typo earlier...
Interesting choice of words “one of the wheelchairs spoke” while I don’t know if the wheelchair user was disabled or injured it lends credence to the disabled opinion that a led bodied people see the chair and not the person sitting in it.
Planning to walk from Vianna do Costello in September. Have lurked on this forum hoovering up information for a couple of months now. I intend to take the coastal route and possibly the spiritual variant.
Have a couple of questions to ask.
Anyone know if there are any festivals etc taking place...
