    Hello Karen, I am hoping to walk at the same time. My plan is to leave from Valenca on 26th March, more or less continuing the Camino I had started in March 2020 but had to abandon because of the pandemic lockdown. So our paths may cross. However, due to health issues, my Camino still isn't sure...

    Taxi Camino - Tui to Santiago

    For those with experience, please could you give a guide price for taxis between daily stages on this Camino. I just want to have an idea as a back-up in case ill health prevents walking. Thanks so much. I don't mean every stage! I just mean an average day route of about 20 km.

    How can you get an electric bike to the Camino from England?

    Thank you everyone for the good advice. I think I will leave rider at home with his ebike, and just fly over and do my walk myself. Seems much easier ☺️. He was just kindly offering to come l but it seems way too complicated and expensive.

    Does anybody have any practical suggestions or experience getting to the Camino (preferably Porto, but Burgos or Pamplona also a possibility) with one electric bike, from the UK? Can't fly with it. The train looks very complicated. And not cycling there all the way - too far! The idea is my...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD COVID-19: Current Camino Conditions

    Got my pilgrim passport from Porto Cathedral today no problem, but the tourist office in Matoshinos (where I hoped to get a stamp) was closed because of corona virus. Got one from my hotel so no problem, but I wonder, has anyone currently on the route had any issues with getting stamps?

    True, not much use in those circumstances, though emergency services use it in the UK as it is so precise.
