    Peregrino Torture Tower

    Take a look at this lovely story of the Camino (The Camino Frances) day 22. At 12.50 in this video the illustrious Peregrino Torture Tower makes its appearance...and at 12.59 the wise inscription aptly says "I very much dislike the designer of this bridge". “Life is really simple, but men...

    Peregrino Torture Tower

    I read on NewLife 2015's post on April 14 2016 that it is called The Fichier Bridge Portomarin Spain For me it was a beautiful arrival to Portomarin, but I guess for those with a respect for heights it represents about 300 metres of tension.

    Peregrino Torture Tower

    Having done the Cathedral rooftop tour (and highly recommend it) the route up was clear (in comparison to Sacre Couer) and recent tower climb in Brugge. I saw the bridge as one of the beautiful idiosyncrasies of the Camino, and as detailed in responses, it is one of many we enjoyed.

    A growing concern.

    Andy, I've just spoken to Marjorie from number 74, she was very abrupt saying 'not another conversation about the Camino, isn't it enough the BBC are covering it?' I told her of my adventures and said I had used a 50 litre ruck-sack, Marjorie said apparently you Camino people really do believe...

    Staying at Orisson - An Irish Analogy

    The beauty of this post (and many others) is that there is a choice on this first day. For people considering undertaking the beautiful (and uniquely personal) experience of the Camino, the daunting distance over the Pyrenees, and the comments of incline and decline may stop some. But with...

    Hi, Bill Ronan here ! Home is the County of Kent in England and I will be starting the second half of my Camino on 27th September 17 from Leon. Looking forward to returning with an open heart, an open mind, and completing my pilgrimage in the company of friends I'm yet to meet.

    2016 September/October Peregrinos Departures

    Sorry just re-read the thread...I am starting from St Jean on 13th September, and ideally want to get to Leon, before transport of some description to Oviedo and home flight on the 1st Oct. I dont want to rush it, and I want to enjoy the experience so trying not to overplan or to overstretch...

    2016 September/October Peregrinos Departures

    That's correct, although I am looking at finishing in Leon, and flying back to London from there. Not worrying about getting to North Spain. I'm trying not to over plan or be too ambitious, but to simply enjoy the experience.

    2016 September/October Peregrinos Departures

    I am flying into Biarritz on 12th September, and fly back from Asturias on 1st October. In between I am on a journey of inquisitive discovery. I want to complete half the route (but not precious) and will return next year to finish what's not done (considering Ovied0 to Santiago route). Advice...
