    Camino del Madrid directly from the airport?

    I'm considering walking part of a Camino later this year and like what I've read about the CdM and the solitude and good infrastructure. I don't have much time off available so want to start walking straight away. My question is this... I believe if I were to take the metro from Barajas airport...

    Camino Frances, in reverse, in a car.

    Only slightly less exciting than the fact that I'm getting married next Saturday is the thought that following the big day we'll be heading to Spain for our honeymoon. After a couple of days in Madrid we're taking the night train to Santiago; we'll stay 2 nights there then we're picking up a...

    Is anyone due to arrive in Santiago in the next day or two?

    If so can I please beg a favour of you? A good friend of my family succumbed to bowel cancer this afternoon. She was a devout Catholic and had always been followed my Caminos with interest, as she'd never had the opportunity to walk to Santiago herself. It would mean a lot if you would...

    Ryanair

    I've seen the following on an aviation forum: Ryanair announced today that it will close all three international routes from Santiago de Compostela - to London Stansted, Frankfurt Hahn and Rome Ciampino - from January 11, 2011. The reason for this cancellation is Xunta de Galicia's refusal to...

    Where to obtain the credencial in Valenca / Tui

    I'll be walking from Valenca in the last week of September. Does anywhere there issue credenciales, or should I wait to get one from Tui?

    Starting in Tui

    Is Tui to Santiago further than 100km and therefore qualifies for the Compostela? Also, does anyone know how to get to Tui from Vigo train station? thanks in advance.

    April Statistics?

    Hi, I've been checked the archicompostela website for the stats posted by the pilgrims office. They give the breakdown of pilgrims' nationalities, and so on. Does anyone know if and when they'll post the stats from April this year? My other half completed his Camino in April and I'd like to...

    Wonderful Camino Moment

    I've just returned from a week in Germany with my other half. We went to the town of Saarbrucken on the French border, where there is an ancient bridge crossing the river. Imagine my joy and surprise to see a scallop shell embedded in the paving! We looked about a bit further and sure enough saw...

    Is there an official start point to the Camino in Barcelona?

    I'm going to Barcelona for the first weekend in August. I've searched this forum and the csj website and can't find anything, but the map on the back of my credencial shows a routes starting from the city. It would be wonderful to go and stand on the Camino again, and maybe walk a few hundred...

    Camino Portugues in May

    I'm considering walking from Tui to SdC sometime in May. It's only around 120 km - are there enough refugios along the Camino to be able to walk it in around 5 days? I'm hoping it won't be as busy as the Camino Frances, so I won't have to stop at lunchtime in order to secure a bed. Also is...

    Where, when and how did you hear about the camino?

    It struck me, before and after walking, and when on the Camino itself, how few British pilgrims there were (less than 3% of all the pilgrims in August). I've barely met anyone at home who's ever heard of the Camino, much less even contemplated walking it. So my question to you brits out there is...

    St Jacques... La Mecque

    Has anyone seen this film? It was recommended to me when I was on the Camino this summer, but my French wasn't up to understanding completely what the guy was talking about - and the website for the film is also in French. I was wondering if anyone had it, and if it was available on DVD with...

    Arriving in Burgos

    Hola a todos, I'm so excited! I start my second Camino tomorrow. I know it's a bit late notice but if anyone could answer this today I'd be grateful. I'm going to be starting from Burgos but my bus from Madrid doesn't arrive until 10pm. I realise that by this time the beds in the refugio...
