    Hotel/Hostel/B&B in Santiago with vegan breakfast?

    Oh, what a shame, that was such a good place for me to eat as a vegetarian and such a nice atmosphere!! I have to admit it was 2015 when I was there!!

    Hotel/Hostel/B&B in Santiago with vegan breakfast?

    We ate some meals at a restaurant called Cedros which served Lebanese, Thai and other types of food. I am sure they would have some vegan food. Maybe not breakfast but might be good for lunch or dinner!! It's a shame La Salle is overbooked. It is quite a big place and we did not book as like...

    Hotel/Hostel/B&B in Santiago with vegan breakfast?

    Maybe you could stay in a hotel without breakfast such as La Salle. Then you can try different places for breakfast.

    What to do with hair!

    I have long thick dark hair. I wear it in two plaits during the day time to keep it out of my way and so the wind won't blow it around too much. I washed it about once a week which is normal for me. I never use a hair dryer at home so did not really think about it being wet. I just towel dry it...

    10 great European pilgrimages, the Telegraph

    Yes, I agree with you, the North Wales Pilgrims Way is waymarked. We know this as we walked it recently; however, there are parts of it that are navigationally not so easy through fields etc. It is an effort to navigate at times and an OS Map and a compass can be important. There is quite a...

    Undecided about your next Camino?

    @Kanga thank you for this information. We are thinking of changing our plan to walk a much shorter camino next year due to time constraints. We are thinking of the Camino Madrid and stopping at Sahagun. We do still want to walk the Del Norte though and will probably try to make the time for...

    Undecided about your next Camino?

    Thank you @Smallest_Sparrow for your quick reply, and your suggestion to use public transport.

    Undecided about your next Camino?

    We are also undecided but considering the Del Norte for Spring 2017. However, I prefer not to walk more than about 20km per day and I think some of the stretches may be too long without accommodation?? We don't mind taking private rooms, staying in pensions or hotels if necessary to break up...

    Undecided about your next Camino?

    Agree with you, Kanga, the Puy Way is a wonderful walk; however to socialise it is better to be able to understand a reasonable amount of French and at least speak a little. The majority of people were French speaking and often only walking a short distance as you say. We met two Australians...

    Positive Bed Bug Thread

    Many Gites on the Puy Way had preventative measures in place. We were often asked to leave our back packs outside the domitory. This could be outside the Gite in a shed or in some shelves, or might be inside near the door, on shelves or if we were very lucky in a locker. We had to take only...

    Do I Need a sleeping bag liner for CF in May 2016?

    The John Brierley Guide for the Camino Frances includes casa rurales and hotels. Private albergues are also included, some of which may have private rooms. Private rooms in albergues are often not en-suite so it depends what you want. You can try phoning them the night before or as you are...

    How to keep from killing your partner on the Camino?

    We enjoyed walking the Camino Frances last Spring as a couple. We found it brought us closer together and we have shared a lot of nice memories together since we got home. My husband does walk faster than me but he was very patient going at my pace and waiting for me. I think that it is...

    Did you come to love your sleeping bag ?

    Not sure if flea spray is the same. I think it would need to have permethrin in it. There are some threads on bed bugs elsewhere on the forum that you might want to take a look at as there is quite a lot of information. We didn't take spray with us but did spray our packs before we left and...

    Did you come to love your sleeping bag ?

    All Albergues do not have blankets although most of the ones we stayed in did have them. Roncesvalles does not have them at all.

    Did you come to love your sleeping bag ?

    Yes I loved my sleep system. I had anti bed bug sheet, silk liner, 750gram Lifeventure anti bed bug sleeping bag and 200gram thermatec blanket. I did not need to use any blankets in Albergues. I felt very happy sleeping in it, but must admit two things. My pack was heavier than it should...

    Join me on a virtual camino walk this summer?

    They have a page on Facebook if you are on it and want to see more about the cafe.

    Join me on a virtual camino walk this summer?

    Did you go to Cafe El Camino in El Burgo Ranero? It is run by a lovely couple who met on the Camino, Manuel from Barcelona and Svetlana from Bulgaria. They do shared meals for pilgrims in the evening with paealla, lentil soup and/or a vegetarian plate of cheese, humous and brocoli. It is a...
