    LIVE from the Camino Starting today Camino Del Mar

    Day 8, (2 of the English way) The day started off misty and after several k. I put on a pack cover and rain slicker. Up and down a few small hills. After about 3.5 hours I arrived in Pontedeume. It was shortly before 1130 at which time the tourist office opened and I registered and got the key...

    Day 7. Start of the English Way. Train ride to Xubia, near Ferrol. Where my hotel was. The hotel had messaged me they the room was ready and a code for the door. This allowed me to get early, at 1430 and drop my bag. I then walked the 12 k to the docks at Ferrol and then train back to the hotel...

    DAY 6. The best day so far. Great views. The day started with me going to catch the train to Espasante which turned into a bus for whatever reason. Luckily for me to verify that I was supposed to get on the bus. I saw the same two workers from my hotel getting out of the bus. They were on the...

    Actually, my room is at Porto O Barquiero, not O Vicedo like I had Posted. DAY 5: I came up with a plan last night and it worked out. I arranged with the hotel for me to drop my bag off early in the morning. I caught the 8 o'clock train in Viveiro and took it to O Barquiero. I walked back to...

    DAY 4, I stayed at the Hotel O Castelo. I had an OJ and Croissant for breakfast so probably lacking for the energy I would need. The stage started downhill for me. After about 3 miles, I arrived at the coast and did mostly up (around 300 feet) and a little down and back up several times over 2...

    Thanks, today was very challenging and it only gets worse from here. I was just looking at the route. I think I'll stick to the coast. Today's 100m up and downs was bad enough. I don't think I could deal 300-400 meter climbs.

    DAY 3 was today. The day started with being woke up by the church bells in Foz. It's a good thing since it was after 9. I stayed on the coast the entire day vs going up into the hills above on the alternative route at Burela. I wasn't interested in climbing up 200 meters. Igrexa de Nois was...

    DAY 2 was yesterday. I took the bus back and started at Praia de las Catedrales an continued to Foz. The day started off very chilly but it was nice after a short time. It was a pretty walk along the coast. You get to a point across the water from Foz and think you don't have far but it ends up...

    Thank you. Yes, I did read your blog a few days before leaving and made some notes. I downloaded the trails. I didn't want to pay for the wiki app but my samsung health does open the maps but when I try to reopen the downloads, I'm having issues. After checking into my albergue in Ribadeo...

    I arrived Santiago yesterday. Today, I'm currently on a bus to Ribadeo. It looks wet outside and very cloudy. I'm going to attempt to do the Camino Del Mar (Ruta do Mar). I verified last night that I would receive a Compostela. Two out of three people working didn't know if you would receive a...

    Yes or No - Ruta do Mar

    Thanks. I did see there were 40 of them and browsed them. I also just clicked on the link for the book that Ivar sent out earlier. Had I clicked on that link first, the info about that specific book. I would have at least seen the number stages and names of towns.

    Yes or No - Ruta do Mar

    Having received an email this morning from Ivar on new Guide books. I'm intrigued by the Ruta Do Mar. I don't really want to buy another book but I'm not finding, much recent info on the Ruta Do (or Del) Mar. My Gronze, Alltrails, and Buen Camino apps don't have any info. I looked at one thread...
