    Recent problems with the arrow marking

    I just finished the Geira e dos Arrieiros (although I started from O Porto, not Braga) and am now back home. I met one other pilgrim on foot, Portuguese, and three Galician pilgrims on bike, but looking through the visitor's books in various pubs that I went through, I noticed that there were...

    LIVE from the Camino Galisteo - Riomalo de Abajo

    Aside from the Via de la Plata and Via de la Estrella, there's apparently another Camino that passes parallel to the Via de Plata, but goes through the area of Las Hurdes before entering Castilla y León. The towns on the way are: Galisteo Valdeobispo Montehermoso Aceituna Santa Cruz de...

    A nice documentary on the Geira e dos Arrieiros way

    I would love to do this route now, but the problem for me is that I must be one of the rare adult residents in Spain who doesn't have their vaccinations - not even one. Not by choice, I want to! According to my town's medical centre, there's no spot for me until January, maybe even later. At...

    A nice documentary on the Geira e dos Arrieiros way

    It's in Galician and Portuguese. The vast majority of pilgrims who do this route are Portuguese or Galicians, so that makes sense. Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.

    Caminho nascente

    Hi! I live in Spain and I would love to do the Caminho Nascente as shown on the Alentejo/Ribatejo site. However the problem is that it seems very hot. Like, very hot, even at night time. Doing it now seems unwise, so I would like to plan for next time. What would be the best months to do this route?

    Interior way 2020

    I arrived home to Donostia after reaching Iruñea (Pamplona) yesterday. I didn't post because I was physically and mentally tired, it sure feels good to be home. I had to come home because this week I'm moving houses and after some rest, I'm thinking about a third camino, this time from...

    Interior way 2020

    Arrived at Elizondo. In Urdazubi I slept in the frontoia/frontón. The three Catalan pilgrims set up their tent just outside in the grassy area and got a talking to by the police in the morning. Bu the police don't come into the frontoia! Here are the accommodation options in Elizondo. The...

    Interior way 2020

    A sign from the church in Zuraide: This church is called Saint James Previously it was used as a shelter by pilgrims Today too, by faithful and non believers alike If this place is to your liking, all the better All things that are born are proceeding towards the grave Aren't we all...

    Interior way 2020

    Quick update: crossed the frontier and am sleeping in the frontón of Urdazubi. I decided to stop here to see the caves tomorrow and so I didn't push for Amaiur. Naturally the monastery albergue is closed. Quick tip: just before turning into Ainhoa, there's a fountain. Go directly into Ainhoa...

    Interior way 2020

    I started the Baztan Camino today with some shoes that are not working for me (not the previous pair I wore for the other caminos). They're boots because I thought I'd need them, except most of today from Baiona (Bayonne) to Zuraide (Souraide) was on road... which sucks for my feet! The weather...

    Interior way 2020

    Tomorrow (21st) I'm going to catch a bus up to Baiona and see what's up. Last time I was there was with some friends for the Christmas market and I enjoyed it but this time I'll be travelling alone, so I can see what I want when I want! They had to almost drag me out of the Baiona cathedral...

    Interior way 2020

    I forgot to mention that in San Pantaleón de Losa, just before starting the ascent to the beautiful church (closed because of coronavirus), I met the drummer of the band Zea Mays who was there passing the weekend with his family. They kept my bag while I went up and gave me water. Here is a song...

    Interior way 2020

    It's true, a skill and a perfected art form! I will get that GPS though. You're doing the Camino de las Asturias soon aren't you? I mostly followed the GR-1 Historical Route out of Araba and into Castilla y León because it is excellently marked. I would only warn that in some places it goes...

    Interior way 2020

    I'm currently on my way home to Donostia and at the Bilbao train station I saw quite a few people with big backpacks (tents + sleeping bags) asking for directions. They didn't have the shell, but I imagine they were pilgrims doing the northern route! It made my day happy, I'm sure they'll have...

    Interior way 2020

    Wow wow wow! Thank you so much for the information. Just to let you know I pushed on yesterday and I'm in Salinas de Rocío. For food I ate the last of what I brought from Espejo (!) and a lovely family in Návagos treated me to their soup and salad, all ingredients from their garden! In all the...

    Baztan Valley albergues are closed

    A couple of weeks ago I called before hand to various pilgrim albuergues, such as the one in Elizondo, and they all said that they would be closed for the year. The association of friends of the camino de Santiago en Baztan confirmed this.

    Interior way 2020

    I've met no pilgrim in my route, neither in the interior Basque Country route nor in the beginning of this Camino de las Asturias. But I've asked locals and they do say they've seen pilgrims earlier in the year. Maybe a few weeks ago. It's odd because sometimes I see footprints and so forth, it...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Announcement from the Associations in the Basque Country

    As of a couple of days ago, I can confirm that the above information is correct. I don't know about Haro and Miranda de Ebro but I assume that there has been no changes.

    Interior way 2020

    A lot has happened since the last time I posted and hopefully I'll have the time to post about it, because there were some very interesting and even beautiful moments. Right now I'm in Bóveda, near the border with Burgos. Yesterday I mashed two steps together, doing an epic (for me) 45 or so...

    Music from Galicia - BBC Port w Julia Fowlis

    Don't forget to watch the Asturias episode! Asturias is also a nation that has musical connections with Celtic nations. Puxa Asturies! I think Julie Fowlis and Muireann NicAmhlaoibh are incredible musicians.
