Hi, Really glad you enjoyed your Camino. Its exactly 10 years to today 24July that my wife and I finished our Camino Ingles we arrive just in time for the Feast of St James. We had a wonderful time and like yourselves took 9 days not rushing and really enjoying the countryside and the...
Hi Karen,
My wife and I walked our first Camino this year, The Ingles', we had a really wonderful time.
We walked primarily for ourselves, but also raised £3000, in sponsorship from family and
freinds for our local pre school for children with special needs, as our Grandson has Downs...
We have returned from a fanastic Camino, we thought the route, although quite hard on the uphill sections, was really wonderfull, could not believe how pretty the scernery was, and how peacefull and calm the countryside was.
We had good weather, it only drizzled for one day and a part of a...
Well the months of planning are over, back packs almost done and a lot of excitement
going on, its almost a year since we started posting on this forum, and can’t thank members
enough for all their help, advice and encouragement to us, in getting ready for our Camino.
We will start our walk...

Hi Sillydoll,
Thanks for your reply, Ive made quite a few enquiries about the 'service' but it was along time ago that it ran, and it may have been just for a short time, perhaps he was a bit 'hard up'.
Anyway we'll probably get the bus and look at the scenery for 3 hours!!!!!
thanks a lot...
Hi Maybeth,
My wife & I don't speak Spanish, and we start the Camino Ingles next week, I'm sure 'armed' with
a phrase book and if we try our best to speak as best we can, people will see we are making an effort
and help us out , if not, well its the Camino itself that counts.
I'm sure you'll...
Well done and many congratulations on your Camino.
We are off in 2 weeks time, and really looking forward to it, after all the months of
planning.
Can't wait to see the countryside and hopefully meet some other pilgrims on the way.

On the Camino de Santiago Forum on another website, I read the following about a private minibus service that operates from Finisterre to Santiago, this was back in Aug 2009:-
''The bus stop in Finisterre is about 10m from the front door of the official Albergue which is at the beginning of...

Hi Francesca,
Congratulations on your Camino, we are walking the CI in July this year,
our first Camino, and your comments about the countryside sound just right for us.
We'll also be staying at the San Vicente, and its reassuring to hear a good report
about the hotel.

Dear Mel,
We are also walking the Camino Ingles in July, it will be our first time, and having received
so much encouragment from other members of this forum, we feel really confident about
walking this route.
We are starting our Camino from Ferrol and will be taking 8 to 9 days for our walk...
Thanks Sil,
I did use Google for the translation into Spanish and Galacian, perhaps as you say its the time of year.
I'll wait for a while, untill they get over the Christmas & New Year before contacting them again.
thanks
Neil
We are having problems contacting a couple of Pensions for our Camino inJuly.
We are hoping to stay at Pension A Cepa in Fene and also Parrilladas a Reventar in Deixembre.
Unfortunately Spanish is not my strong point , so phoning them is a last resort, we have tried contacting both , by email...
