    Duo Lingo or Something Else?

    Can I mention News In Slow Spanish. https://www.newsinslowspanish.com/ I've been studying Spanish for a number of years and this is the best App I've found. by a country mile. You can choose between "Spanish (Spain)" which is Castillian and "Spanish (Latino)" which is South American. You can...

    Wise Pilgrim: “recent comments”

    Let me say very clearly that I have found the App enormously helpful. I love it. Just wondered if I was missing some clever way of connecting comments with places when the writer did not give a name. Looks like I can't and that's absolutely fine with me. Now I know. Great work!

    Wise Pilgrim: “recent comments”

    Well, that's something I hadn't figured out! And useful to know! But that still leaves me with unallocated comments. Just reading one now from someone who "stopped in for a pizza it was very good" but sadly they don't tell me where. The pizza place is not listed by Gronze so I can't find a...

    Wise Pilgrim: “recent comments”

    Only recently downloaded the Wise Pilgrim app (iPhone) and it’s very, very helpful. The one frustration I have is that the “Recent Comments” do not always include the name of the restaurant/bar/coffee stop described. Where one might say “Albergue Buenavista is wonderful” “Another might say...

    Thank you all for your contributions. Enormously helpful. I now have 3 routes planned: Camino de Madrid, Via de la Plata and the Camino Frances. I think I will walk the Camino Frances this year as I will be walking alone and then walk the Camino de Madrid and/or the VdlP next year with my wife...

    Brilliant! What a great summary. Many thanks.

    A day (or evening) in the life of an albergue

    Roland, thank you. That's very helpful. I'm sure my questions seem very obvious but your answers are important to me. I feel better prepared already.

    A day (or evening) in the life of an albergue

    As an albergue novice I would really appreciate some advice on what to expect and how to behave when staying in an albergue. For example....... - should I expect a communal meal? What happens when you want to eat out at a local bar or restaurant? - is it expected or simply appreciated if you...

    Because..........? It is particulary beautiful? Can you say more about this? I haven't heard about this.

    Can you clarify? Train from Madrid? I know I could take a look at Rome to Rio and try to figure it out but wondered if you would be so kind as to give me a steer.

    David, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It is very, very helpful and also reassuring. Clearly the CF should be on my list, or at least a part of it. I confess to having the nagging feeling that whilst it is the road most travelled it might not be the road "best" travelled...

    Sounds perfect except........I think the hills and the distances would mean no tick in one of my boxes!

    I don't really fancy the CF after reading the posts in the forum about numbers and the lack of available accommodation. I am sure that I would be happier somewhere quieter (although I don't want to walk alone every day). The Sanabres sounds like a good idea and if I stopped in Ourense I would...

    I walked the Portugués last year (Variante Espiritual) and will walk it again this year. I have fallen in love with the Camino and I am now thinking that I could fit in another walk of 3 to 4 weeks in September or October of this year. So where next? I would greatly value suggestions and...

    Photo book or blog documenting your camino

    I am very interested in this thread as we will be starting our Camino soon and I too am wondering how best to record it. Last year we used PolarSteps and my experience was not great. If I remember rightly, friends who wanted to follow us had to set up an account with PS which some did and...
