    Looks like I'm going to miss you Nalod. Pity. I'm about to catch the bus to Sobrado then walk reverse camino to Miraz, through out the day tried telephoning, emailing and texting the hostel but no response, I've past through the village when I did the Del Norte so not that surprised. This is by...

    Even though its raining again enjoy the last bit. Miraz is in Galicia, tomorrow I will check bus times etc, so should be able to meet up before you return. Just had supper in the pilgrims dining room, Germans, Dutch, Italian and a Maltese all on the Frances camino, plenty of snow on that one. So...

    Hi Nalod, Pleased you're enjoying this camino, I found it just got better and better, easy, pleasant and enjoyable walks, good scenery and interesting places. I'm poised to enter Santiago, just 15k. I will stay until the 20th and then I'm off to Miraz for a stint as a hospitelero. Will have to...

    Good to hear it Nalod! You're going to find camino Portuguese a relief. It's just torrential rain here falling on asphalt ,and loads of German and English pilgrims its actually quite pleasant in an odd sort of way, enjoy a bit of a rest. T

    Thanks Laurie, visual proof, but did he transport his donkeys all the way to Norway? Hope all went well Nalod, are you staying in Olivia Plascencia or there was an option to stay at a Hotel Triumpho closer to the camino, this is off the top of my head. I've had atrocious weather, imagine you...

    While at Fuenterroble last year I understood Don Blas was going to do St Olafs Way with his donkeys, absurd though it is, I believed it, was he having me on?

    No hanging around then Nalod! You can get a downloadable guide for the camino Portuguese from CSJ Porto to Lisbon it is donativo. I've got the Lisbon to Porto it's a bit higgildy piggildy and though it was written on 2009 it is more in tune and as up to date and has a lot better tone than the...

    Hi Nalod, one of my best experiences of the VDLP was arriving there tired, thirsty and hungry and I couldn't believe what I saw. All the tables had been put together and it was full of bread, cheese, wine, beer, water, fruit, cakes in fact everything. Around this big table were two groups of...

    Thanks Tom, if I took a bus I'd regret it forever. Yesterday was bad never been so close to such fast moving cars. This camino has treacherous bits, not one to choose as your first! T

    Bet you'll be pleased to get to Merida, imagine you're getting the same weather as me, relentless stong, cold north wind. The front edge of the rain just got me before Golega, then the rain last night had gone by morning, thankfully just sticky mud and puddles unlike you. Bet you could hardly...

    Now that was a long day, it's just hard slog into Merida now! I'm finding the camino Portuguese so far quite unpleasant, doesn't have the same spirit as the others. Today I left Santorem through Santiago gate and felt I was on an old track I ended the day feeling cheated and lucky to be alive...

    I'm afraid I walked along the railway to cross the river, Interesting combination strawberries and oranges. Well deserved. Saved yourself a few euros doing 39k. Are you at the railway stationa Albergue? If you are, in the morning cross the rail line outside the station and the barbed wire fence...

Los Naranjos cost 20 euros menu del dia 8.50 and was good, Campanario RailwAy station is your Albergue at 15...

    The challenge of crossing streams that are now rivers isn't over yet Nalod, I think the first one I crossed on the left side and hit by some branches, the second one was by going along the right hand bank finding big boulders and jumping them and crossing through the undergrowth on the other...

    That feeling of being very alone, and finding strength to overcome. A low point seems to be often followed by something good, the camino is very special with that.I am in Lisbon now just about to start this Camino. I miss Spain though and am trying to work out the best strategy to get to Porto...

    Well done Nalod for toughing it out! I couldn't work out how you were going to do it, I only just made it then came more rain. Great solution you conjured up and also getting a free taxi ride, brilliant. It's not going to be quite so strenuous from now on but I reckon you're going to have to...

    Good, friendly people at Bar X I enjoyed my stay. If you continue tomorrow, I think your only choice to stay is at El Cruce which is at the bottom of the hill that leads to Villharta. They do not have wifi there. As said before Villharta to Alcaracejos is long and strenuous and because of recent...
