    A Ramallosa to Vigo Route

    Will be walking the CP in Aug/Sep with planning clearly focused to staying (for the most part) on the Litoral. However, (using Brierley's Guide) the stage from A Ramallosa to Vigo sets up quite a few walking options - the 'da Costa', in particular, has a marked detour to Freixo. For those CP...

    Retail Camino Related Art

    A question a little out of 'left field', but has anyone come across a retail (or private) art studio specialising (or simply carrying) Camino related oil or water colour paintings? I've had no problems sourcing various prints worthy of framing; however, haven't come across a good artist...

    Private Accommodation on the Camino del Sureste

    I'm interested to hear from pilgrims who have walked the Camino del Sureste and chose to stay in private (non-albergue) accommodations. It looks like it's a real challenge right from the 'get go' out of Alicante, but those that have walked the route might (I'm hopeful) have a different...

    Rest Days - Coastal - North of Porto

    Itinerary for mid-Aug '24 (from Lisbon) starting to come together, but looking for a rest day recommendation in the vicinity of Baiona, Vigo, Redondela or Pontevedra. For those that have walked through these towns/cities - any particular one I should be aiming for? Cheers!

    Santarem or Tomar for a Rest Day

    Will be walking the CM this time next year starting in Lisbon. Will be in no rush, and was looking for advice from those that have walked on perspectives of Santarem versus Tomar for a rest day. Will be cutting over to visit Fatima for a couple of nights after the day off. Any specific...

    Via Augusta - Apr '23

    My wife and I walked the Via Augusta in April this year...walking out of Cadiz on Good Friday. We thought this was an excellent path and fantastic 'warm up' for our push up VdlP and Camino Sanabres. Highlights were definitely a couple of days in Cadiz (getting on time...and the walk out of...

    Gronze Stage 38B - Cea to O Castro (Dozon)

    Again, a question for those that have walked the Sanabres - the stage from Cea to O Castro (Dozon) has an alternate route via Oseira. According to Gronze the alternate is only a couple of kilometers longer. Which did you take?

    Walk from O Castro Dozón to Lalin via N-525 road: Terrain and Route Information

    A question for those that have walked the Sanabres. Coming out of O Castro (Dozon) is it possible to walk directly to Lalin? Gronze Map (Stage 35B) infers it is a route (by road - N-525). Terrain is an unknown for me, and Google Maps has this route down at about 3 hours of walking. I'd really...

    Rationing

    While I appreciate it is always prudent to carry some rations (and I'm talking food in this sense) at all time while walking in Spain, I'd be interested to hear from those pilgrims that have walked on their identification of those specific towns where you ABSOLUTELY must visit the supermercado...

    In Hindsight

    VdlP planning for '23 continues at pace, and today I was re-examining our expected 'rest days' in the quite obvious places such as Zafra, Merida, Caceres, Salamanca, Banos de Montemayor and Ourense. While reviewing, my mind casts back to the Frances and the 'in hindsight' position that there...

    Spring Sleep Systems

    Hi, Looking for advice from those that have walked the VdlP during the Spring months. My wife and I will be walking next year from early April through June. At this time I'm just starting to look at what might be required for comfortable sleeping. I was just going to take our down bags...

    VdlP from Cadiz

    I've read just about all previous commentary with regard to starting the VdlP from Cadiz. Unfortunately, most comments are now starting to show 'their' age, and I was wondering if anyone in the Forum had completed the Cadiz to Santiago route in more recent times. Obviously, interested in the...

    Organising Information

    My wife and I will be walking the VdlP in the Spring of next year. I'm currently reading/researching and find myself with a wealth of information (walking recommendations and important points noted from various forums/blogs) that will likely be very useful next year. My challenge now is...

    SJPdP to Santiago Oct - Dec 21

    Thanks to all the folk who have kindly offered so much wisdom...certainly helping my wife and I to prepare for our first pilgrimage to Santiago. We head out of SJPdP next Wednesday, 27 Oct and, being so late in the season (and with an eye on next week's weather) will head to Roncesvalles via...

    Sending Package to St Jean Prior to Walking

    I was wondering if anyone had used a 'mail service' of any kind to pre-position an item(s) in advance of their walk out of St Jean. Unfortunately, my accommodation venue won't support this request, and I suspect 'Poste Restante' would be tricky in coordinating timings. In my case the item is...

    VdlP Easter Week '22

    My wife and I plan to walk the VdlP, starting in Seville, during the latter part of Semana Santa '22 (19 Apr 22). Appreciating the crowds that will likely be in Seville during the Easter period I'd appreciate hearing from anyone that actually started their pilgrimage at this time of year...
