    Questions about the Camino from Seville

    I'm planning to walk the VDLP as my last Camino. Is there a Camino registry office in Sevelle to purchase a travel passport and get details of the walk

    The culture has changed...sadly

    Hi Artic-Alex I couldn't agree more. I had the same conversation with 2 pilgrims from Austria (not related) I walked with for many days. They are like a new fashion accessory whilst I was covered in bruises, cuts and beard hadn't seen a trim in over 5 weeks so I looked pretty wild ha ha I...

    Via De La PLata

    Hi a I've just spent the past couple of hours going through your daily blog and photos, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your daily diary and it's really given me the reason to walk the VDLP to the Camino Portugese. Thanks very much. I do have a couple of questions though: Are there enough clear...

    Via De La PLata

    Good day fellow pilgrims and friends. I have a request that I hope there is someone out there who can help. After completing my last Camino France I have decided that I have at least one more left in these legs so I'm planning walking the De La Plata. I've tried scrolling online for the past...

    Changes to the Camino

    Greetings fellow pilgrims I'm just back from completing my 5th and final Camino and this time as I had always promised myself was to finish in Finistere. I wanted to take this opportunity to share, my thoughts and findings from my journey. First of all I would like to cover the cost of walking...

    Checking your backpack on flights

    That’s exactly what I did and it worked out really well. You can get it cling film wrapped at the airport but in 2021 it was £10 for the service and a black bin bag works perfectly well saves you lugging it around the airport Keith

    Albergues limited occupancy

    Good evening fellow pilgrims I have a question for anyone who has walked during the past 2-3 months and everyone walking now on the Frances. Back when I walked it in 2021 Albergues we’re still limited to 30% occupancy, can anyone give me an update on the current occupancy status as I fly out on...

    Valcarlos route

    Hi TanBrack I did the Valcarlos route in 21as I was cycling and it was the worst decision ever. You can't come off the road until you get to road marker 58 where there is a Camino Shell as am marker. Unbeknown to me I didn't expect the density of the forest. Even in late July the trail was muddy...

    Entrance to Portomarin

    Hi Sandrap You can walk both left and right at the steps but the right is a bit steeper and longer. As for the decent into Portomarin at the top of the hill before the decent there is an information board, the easiest and shortest route by far is using the right hand fork it’s trail and road...

    Cycling the Meseta in 2023

    I couldn’t agree more. Walking or cycling the Camino is really your choice but I agree with you, the solitude and reflection I found walking the meseta gave me a whole new perspective of myself and I miss that feeling every day, I often sit at home and look through my photos and instantly I’m...

    Cycling the Meseta in 2023

    Hi Dreholden Last year after walking the Camino three times I decided to cycle it for a different challenge and oh boy was it a challenge. Having completed the first three days which I calculated as being the most challenging I thought the Messeta was going to be a joy ride but wrong it still...

    shoes for narrow feet

    Good afternoon Hasselhof I know exactly what you mean. As a guy I find it extremely hard finding a narrow pair of trekkers and in the past Merrells have been the only brand that I’ve found comfortable enough narrow and strong enough for the Camino. Only today out shopping in Liverpool Millets...

    Rabanal to Cruz de Ferro, walk on road?

    Yes definitely I had similar problem with my ankle last year and using the road made it so much more bearable Keith

    November Camino - (F) alone?

    The daily update on the forum lists approximately 1700 plus each day reaching Santiago and increases towards the weekend but my second Camino Frances I walked in autumn and there was barely 750 arriving each day and it got less by the day. The conditions were pretty bad rain and extremely low...

    Warning: Jacotrans

    Dear Pepi I feel your grief. I have used Jacotrans on numerous occasions on each Camino I’ve walked, unfortunately the transport service is managed by regions across the Camino each one covering about 7-8 stages. Last year I had to use them every day following my accident on the Camino I...
