    Guide book to go to Albergue on Portuguese Caminho

    If only I lived within the EU! That is exactly what I would do! I Just cannot deal with the post-Brexit mailing complications. Also, as I have had the unpleasant experience of being the recipient of parcels/ packages & having to pay (post Brexit) importation tax/ charges on parcels/ packages, I...

    Guide book to go to Albergue on Portuguese Caminho

    I have a new copy of the guide to Camino Portuguese by Kat (I think) XX. My question is: is there anyone who is going to Lisbon/ Porto who could pop it in the Albergue municipal/ or use it and then leave it in an albergue so someone else takes it so that it could live up and down the Caminho...

    Afraid of top bed without fence

    Hi KariannNor: fears are fears; we ALL , every single solitary one of us, have them - just not the same as others' . I won't sleep in top bunk; fear of falling out; also needing to get up in the night. If at all possible I would check out if there is a cheap/affordable other hotel/hostal...

    First aid kit recommendations for Via de La Plata

    Hi Major Bozo, Re 1st aid: I endorse sheeps/Merino washed fleece; a variety of Compeed (never leave home without them! and never let anyone tear them off before they fall off!); vaseline; moleskin although I use this less since discovering washed fleece - and that's it for me.

    First aid kit recommendations for Via de La Plata

    In the UK, I have bought (Romney Marsh Sheep farm) pure Merino , washed, combed and carded topped fleece which is sold (relatively inexpensively) for felting and spinning. It is what is used for Hikers' / walkers' wool. Quick mail delivery. Relatively inexpensive so I have gifted to other...

    Effectively Avoiding Blisters

    Definitely- hydro-colloidal dressings are very sophisticated scientific/lab created dressings. My family and I have used very successfully for years. (two daughters, rubbish fitting shoes!!) However in Ponferrada when I went to the hospital to have a different problem attended to, the nurse...

    Which one to walk in mid October- mid November ?

    Thanks for these responses. I had been told that The Littoral was boardwalks, touristy; and in contrast the Central was more quiet and rural. So the latter sounds more my cup of tea. (After the Via de la Plata! though!)

    Sculpture outside Negreira

    Sculpture by Fernando García Branco, 1997. Amazing how many emotions sculptor has been able to portray using stone and bronze. For me, as an emigrant myself, unforgettably poignant. ..on a different note, right opposite (hidden inside cafe) a wonderful bakery, best, freshly baked bread on...

    Has anyone used baggage transport on the Del Norte?

    Hi there, i also cannot recommend Correos ' paq mochila' highly enough. I have only used it along Camino Francés. They supply labels, payment is very easy. They email from time to time to check on progress of owner towards mochila! The emails are all written in English. Correos collects from any...

    ryanair at Stansted vs Easyjet at Gatwick

    Hi, Easyjet every time!! Also bear in mind how very! far Stansted is from London ( nearly in Cambridge!). Gatwick is accessible from central London, Victoria station by train, every 10 mins or so. Takes about 25 mins on a normal train, without buying the expensive exclusive 'Gatwick Express'...
