    Fears

    I may, or may not, head to SJPDP to walk the CF alone next week. I’ve posted about the complicated background to this in a previous thread. I’m still undecided. But three questions here… 1) Those of you who’ve previously walked caminos but with partners, or staying in private rooms rather...

    Help me to sort my head out please?

    Hello Camino friends, This is a bit of a personal post, but I'm going to trust that it's a good idea. I'll plunge into the middle. I'm probably a fortnight away from booking myself back on a flight to Spain, and walking as much of the Camino Frances, or another route, as I can between...

    My Camino Frances videos on Youtube (a long watch)

    Hello all! Some of you have asked about my Camino videos on Youtube. My channel is Lindsey Holland Walks. The videos are, I believe, longer than many, so if you enjoy spending between 40 minutes and an hour, on average, exploring an etapa, you might enjoy it. I deliberately avoid using music so...

    What is between Sarria and Santiago? And Muxia?

    Please tell me anything—anything!—about the section from just after Sarria to Santiago. And then on to Muxia and Finisterre. I’m trying to plan to stay between main towns but really need help to know what not to miss, and whether there are any casa rurales/albergues with private rooms that are...

    Cyclist bells question

    I wondered whether anything has been said here as regards people who can’t hear cyclist bells. They’re at the exact frequency of my partner’s hearing loss, and I know of other people with the same type of high pitch loss. For my own part, I’m glad of the bells and find them helpful. We did...

    Please help me plan off-stages: After Sarria to Muxia/Finisterre

    You may have spotted my previous post about which route to choose as the conclusion of our three year Camino Frances. I’m now part way into making bookings. We’ll continue the CF and walk next June, but choose off-stages. I’m hoping this will mean we can avoid hoards and find some tranquility...

    How to finish this thing?

    You may know that my partner and I have been doing our first Camino, the Frances, in stages: Aug/Sept 2021 was SJPDP to Belorado; this May/June (2022) was Belorado to Sarria, and our plan is to reach Finisterre next year. We intended to walk the rest of the Frances, Sarria to Santiago then on...

    LIVE from the Camino Need help asap finding new water bladder in Madrid

    My partner’s 2L water bladder has sprung a leak. We’re in Madrid, ahead of getting the 3pm bus from here to Belorado to start walking from tomorrow. Where is the best place to buy a new bladder in central Madrid? We’re currently by the Puerta del Sol. I can see there’s a Decathlon north of...

    The people we don’t yet know …anticipatory Buen Caminos

    Sitting here in northern England, it occurs to me that there are pilgrims starting to walk from SJPdP today, or leaving Roncesvalles, who my partner Andrew and I might meet in a week and a half, when we resume our Camino from Belorado. Perhaps other pilgrims we’ll meet are further along the...

    Sarria > Ourense > Madrid travel options

    Hello Camino friends! I wondered what your thoughts might be as regards travel options for the end of my Camino for this year. We’re walking for three weeks on the Frances, from Belorado to Sarria. We’ll pick up in Sarria next time, so spending time there now isn’t crucial to us. I know that...

    Hello Camino friends. I’ve just received the dreaded flight change email from RyanAir. We’re flying Manchester to Madrid, 21st May this year. Our flight was due to arrive around noon, and we then had plenty of time to reach Belorado, from where we’ll walk the next day They’ve changed the...

    Private room recommendations between Carrion de los Condes and Leon on the Meseta

    Hello again Camino friends! Now we’re into 2022, I’ve returned to trying to finalise my camino plans for this May/June. Because of medical issues, I have to book private rooms in advance. One section is entirely defying my attempts to book rooms, and I take this as a fateful sign! I need...

    Experiences of ghosts, premonitions or presences?

    I write this tentatively. I’m trying to understand and process something that happened to me two days before my Camino began, when I’d just arrived in Spain, but which influenced the whole of my time there. I don’t feel able to talk about it yet, so I hope you won’t mind this post. I know that...

    Extra pillows logic problem

    Hello fellow pilgrims! As you may have seen in my planning post about Belorado to Sarria, I’ve been merrily working away, booking rooms for that section. Everything is unravelling now that some of the places I’ve reserved have said they have no extra pillows. I’m having a bit of a wobble over...

    Can't find how to change my 'Year of past OR future Camino' blurb

    I have tried! I have! These techy things don't usually defeat me! But no, I just can't alter that bit under my photo where it says I've postponed my Camino to last May 2021. Please, can anyone tell me what to click?

    Hello again fellow pilgrims! I’ve now booked flights to resume our Camino 😃 I need to prebook private rooms because of health issues, so we have to plan around this. What do you think of the below itinerary, and how would you finish it off, given the extra days we have to play with? Extra...

    Plans to resume Camino Frances from Belorado

    Hello fellow pilgrims! Having been back from the CF for barely three days, I’m already deep in still-abstract plans to resume our Camino next May to June. I wonder what your thoughts might be on the below ideas and questions… We’ll have three weeks available but no more We’ll walk from...

    LIVE from the Camino We’re finally on our way!!!!!

    We’re finally off on our Camino! (Edit: I’ll keep this as a rolling post while I’m here but wrote the first post before we reached SJPP!) It’s been postponed a few times. I first booked it in January/February 2020, as a surprise for my partner (that worked out well! 😃) and we were supposed to...
