  1. Corned Beef

    LIVE from the Camino Chrissy on the Camino Sanabrés

    I see you stopped at Rincón do Peregrino in Alberguería. Not one to miss.

    Great Saint Bernard Pass Hospice

    I'm asking as I went through the tunnel last time (2109). I'll be walking up this July and don't know of any other alternative to staying or passing through the tunnel.
  3. Corned Beef

    Great Saint Bernard Pass Hospice

    What's your alternative? Going through the tunnel?

    So you got the upgrade?

    Anyone been walking in reverse from Ferrol to A Vila de Bares?

    Eye of the beholder.

    Anyone been walking in reverse from Ferrol to A Vila de Bares?

    If you look at @Magwood 's blog she has been to there from O Barqueiro which has a FEVE station. On FEVE you can get to Ferrol and the train/bus back to Santiago https://magwood.me/2016/05/19/day-28-camino-del-norte-ruta-do-mar-circular-side-trip-porto-do-barqueiro-to-estaca-do-bares-23-8-km/...

    LIVE from the Camino Current big wave at beginning of Francés

    Zubri was full in 2017 when I did my first Camino. Every year since (Covid excepting) Zubri is full at one time or another. So you bus/taxi to Pamplona and bus/taxi back the next day.

    Advice on Getting a Second-Hand Gravel Bike?

    Try the Decathlon site who sell both new and returned (segunda vida) gravel bikes. A "second life" gravel will be fairly rare but you could pick up a second hand mountain bike for €150. (There is not a lot of difference between the two at the lower end of the scale)...

    Via Francigena - From Geneva to Aigle

    You could try OpenStreetMap. Use the Topo addition and then put in your starting point (Geneva Airport) and then Aigle. Shows a route along the shore (Littoral du Léman) There is a section where you are expected either to take a ferry or walk on water. Click on link...

    Travel woes - trapped in Dubai

    https://www.gronze.com/camino-santiago-madrid There will be plenty of Decathlon stores around with inexpensive but good quality kit. Madrid is an expensive place to hang around waiting for luggage. Can you make arrangements to collect it on the way out?

    Finisterre in rain

    Or take the train north to A Coruna ( 30-40 minutes )or south to Vigo (1 hour fast train) for the day. Plenty of trains on that line. Not expensive either. I know Vigo better than A Coruna.

    Alert Two reports of agressive dogs just after Oseira

    I have Spanish dogs. Brought 4 of them over as family were moving back temporarily. There is no problem with the dogs and as the saying goes there are no bad dogs, only bad owners. However what some may not know is that Spain has the highest levels of abandoned pets in the EU. One of the 4...

    E-Bike on a train from Santiago de Compostela to Porto

    Context: The phrase 'E-bike' tends to refer to peddle-assisted system (PAS) and are restricted to 25km/h in the Europe. Other electric bikes which have hand throttles and don't need peddled meet the definition of motorcycles and should be ridden on roads with insurance and helmets. Some...

    Ebike battery charging in albergue

    Bicigrino will supply a handlebar bag which will contain the charger with the Spanish AC plug. No need for anything else to connect it to the mains. Not sure what an individual albergue would charge, if anything. There was some discussion last year about battery charging at cafes along the...

    Lugo - Ourense a good idea?

    Details?

    Three rescues on the Route Napoleon yesterday

    We passed a rescue when crossing in early September. Fitness & health is a factor as well as time of year.

    Which part to choose between Lisbon and Porto

    I did this section in January and only saw 1 other pilgrim going to Santiago. Saw lots and lots going to Fatima though. Pilgrim statistics show less than 3000 pilgrims start at Lisbon for Santiago compared with 10 times this amount from SJPP and many, many more at Sarria. Starting at Porto is...

    Pelgrims from Czech Republic?

    Some cost of living data for you to consider https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Czech+Republic Or České Budějovice https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/Ceske-Budejovice

    Almadén de la Plata - Monesterio

    The service area is Complejo Leo 24 Horas. It has accomodation if you find yourself out of steam by the time you get there. I think they also own Hotel Leo in Monasterio at the far end of town. As I recall it was a bit of a climb from there to Monasterio so you might want to check the...

    Credentials of Confraternity of St James

    Contacting the local CSJ may provide an answer but it seems a strange request from the Spanish Embassy in the RSA. Would be great if @diandlola could shed some light on it. The Spanish Embassy pages actually say this -...
