Looking forward to 2024...in 2023 have walked a modified Island Walk (582 kms) in PEI Canada and in the Fall plan to walk Wainwrights Coast to Coast in England. However for 2024...back to a Camino route...that is unless I choose to walk to Machu Pichu in Peru which I am considering 😂. I have...

In 2022…after receiving great help on the Forum…I downloaded GPX files from the Wikiloc database and walked the Camino Primitivo and Camino San Salvador routes. Wikiloc was most helpful! In a month I will walk the 700 km Island Walk in PEI Canada. I was provided the attached GPX file. I admit...

Ok I know very well that many plausible responses such as…when there are gaping holes…when people leave the room due to the smell…when the socks stand up on their own in a corner…when the dog refuses to touch them etc etc are possible AND all deserved for asking 😂 But this is a serious...

Likely caught your attention with that title...where is that Camino? Well it’s also known as the Island Walk in Prince Edward Island PEI Canada. It’s a very old walk established in 2019 ;). 703 kms...mapped out in 32 stages by the Island Walk creators. To date I understand the total number of...

Looking for some advice…will be travelling from Santiago de Compostela to Leon shortly. I have two choices Alsa bus 6 hr or Renfre 4:30 hr which requires a transfer at Ourense. My concern is the Ourense transfer is only 5 minutes…I welcome any feedback from any forum member who has done...

Read through the thread and am struggling. From Canada. In the past have bought a local SIM card…provider pops our Bell card and installs local card. Back in Canada reverse process…all good. Now I have an iPhone 13 with eSim capability. I understand that prior to leaving for Spain I can get...

Don’t know if the provider makes a difference when getting a SIM card and plan. Main players I think are Vodafone and Orange. Any reason to choose one over on these two routes? Will also be looking at eSim use for my home plan (iPhone 13) however will research this on Forum first to get up to...

Mid Sep 2022 I plan on walking the Camino Primitivo followed by Camino Salvador. I fully understand this is backward 😂 however the other option is not walking the Camino Salvador. Not prepared to give up on what seems a spectacular walk! Few basic questions: 1) Is the official start of the...

Flights booked for arrival at Madrid International airport. Limited research tells me that BetelPhone is just outside the arrivals area in T1. BetelPhone website has a form that can be completed in advance with flight arrival times…indicates SIM card will be waiting upon arrival. Vodafone and...

Will this finally happen after 2+ years? I'm feeling the chances are getting better and better! Planning underway for Camino San Salvador and Primitivo combination mid September 2022. Attached is a work in progress PDF outlining two options (walking days) Option 1 San Salvador - 5, Primitivo -...

Wondering if any Forum members have experience with the LT5 trekking poles. I have always used trekking poles…they work well for me so not looking to open a discussion on the merits of using them or not…thanks. The specs indicate they fold into a very compact size…likely fitting within a...

Hi, In 2013 when I first walked a Camino route I created a Blog and have had great fun on my various Camino walks posting updates at the end of the day. Over time a massive following;) (~100 or so people) have subscribed and receive an email whenever I post. Recently Feedburner (which is used...

Like so many Forum members I cancelled a May Camino walk in 2020...in fact exactly one year ago today my Brazilian pilgrim friend and I knew our Camino Primitivo walk was not to be. It was to be my 7th Camino route and 3rd time into Santiago de Compostela. Current plans (vaccine, travel...

While out walking I like to listen to various news podcasts. Clearly over the past year two topics have dominated the majority of these podcasts...no need to outline these here! Having the most basic beginner level of Spanish I want/need to switch things up. In the Apple store there are many...

My Camino is a little different and I will admit totally silly...however I am in need of something to keep my mind off of so many serious issues. I saw an article about a young guy in France who ran a marathon on his 23 ft balcony...took him 6 hours as relief from the current situation. I was...

Hi...will be walking the Camino Primitivo next May. Flying in to Madrid and then likely to Oviedo same day. I was hoping to setup a cell phone plan between flights in the airport...Vodafone, Orange or other however can’t find any information on how to do this. Appreciate any suggestions...

Trying out different shoes after having a problem for the first time with Merrell Moab 2 shoes (caused a pretty bad corn). These shoes were comfortable in comparison to many other brands tried at MEC store however am wondering if anyone has had any experience wearing this shoe Camino walking...

In a previous member posting this movie was highly recommended...so I did some digging and to my surprise found out it is scheduled to play in Toronto this September! https://tickets.demand.film/event/8138 Sadly here is the problem...50 tickets must be reserved in the next 23 days or the movie...

I have always enjoyed seeing videos prior to walking a Camino route...adds to the excitement and anticipation! Wondering if you have a favourite video (You Tube, Vimeo, other) of the Camino Primitivo? Is so would appreciate hearing from you! Thanks Guy
