    Wanting to avoid all albergues

    Hi Trevor - we are about to start our 5th camino and have only ever stayed one night in an alburgue (at Orisson). We have got Garry from Spanish Adventures to pre-book all our accommodation for us (he has a family business based in Santiago de Compostela). I would highly recommend him. The...

    Filters on library computers

    i guess you could try it but any IT manager worth his/her salt would employ filtering methods that were independent of the browser used and would also block the downloading of executable files. given that many Internet cafes are poorly managed you might be able to get away with your work around...

    tour companies

    We are currently walking the Camino Frances, having our packs transported each day and staying in private accommodation. Gard13 I fully understand your concerns, I was anxious about what others may say before we started (based on a very small number of opinions posted on this forum). But we...

    GPS trek of low route from orisson

    Hi Maxx44, I have the Valcarlos route track map and am happy to share that. I don't have one that connects the Route Napolean to Valcarlos route (if that is what you mean) from Orisson. There appear to be many paths throughout the Pyrenees between Orisson, Valcarlos (etc) and Roncesvalles, as...

    gronze site

    I have done a comparison of 4 different guides, including the Gonze site, for Sarria to Santiago. The distances all vary. See attached. Ditto what Freetime said. It depends on which path you actually walk. Eg you could easily walk 200-300m extra in and out of Portomarin depending on which...

    How can Australian Pilgrims get credencials and passports

    We have got them from CSJ in the UK. You need to pay in pounds and pay for postage - so not the cheapest option, but reassuring if you want to have them before you leave Oz.

    Flags on backpacks

    I can't provide answer your specific question but it does lead to another interesting question: Is it in the spirit of the Camino to have flag patches on your packs or carry flags with you? I understand the sense of pride in one's country, that it is interesting to see where people are from...

    silly format question

    I called the IT support centre and they said just turn your computer on and off again and that should fix it. If not just log a job. :wink:

    Why has "No Money" topic pilgrim created such controversy?

    I admit to having often felt the same way. As I write I find it difficult to find the precise words I am looking for, but here goes: I sincerely hope this is a matter of just a series of poorly expressed explanation (after explanation) from Jim to an audience with an active 'BS' radar and...

    Why has "No Money" topic pilgrim created such controversy?

    Priscillian, I think my annoyance levels peaked when I realised I had just spent 20 minutes or so watching some dude splash around in his resort pool in Thailand and tell me all about his path to humility. It was so ridiculous it was both annoying and rolling-on-the-ground hilarious at the...

    Best tapa in Spain??

    Classic... In Australia a 'shandy' is the generic name for a beer and lemonade mix. It is typically enjoyed by women and politicians that wear budgy smugglers. :lol: Jason

    breakfast

    Here's an idea: if you are concerned about a particular stretch of the Camino (or all of it), then plan ahead. You can do this mid walk if need be and you may have to give up some flexibility. So you pick the days that you are concerned about, book accommodation for each night ahead of time...
