    Guitarist just before Astorga

    Just before Astorga, on the top of the hill, theres a guitar player who sings songs about the Camino. I think his name is Jose Jiminez. () I was wondering if anyone had a link to a site where I could stream or buy online some of his songs?

    Looking for a group

    That was one thing that scared me too (along with bed bugs :p) I started walking on the first of august and I soon realized that walking on your own was much more interesting. You meet people and you chat with them for a while and then they pass you or you pass them... Most importantly is that...

    best trail description in a guide book

    Theres a very helpful app called camino companion. I like it because it not only tracks u on a map but also shows how far each alburge or town is... But I use it along side wise pilgrim app because it gives some interesting historical information and reviews about each alburge. (keep in mind...

    Am I too laid back?

    Im currently on the camino, and the only bed issues I faced were in roncesvalles (had to walk 5 painful kms after the Pyrénées!) and in zubiri (not an issue because I didn't want to stop anyway :p ) But other than that I always find places! Granted I sometimes book ahead at around 12pm if I...

    Camino Frances Followed by VdlP

    Thank you for your advice! I was hoping not to rely on busses and was thinking of walking this path: Do you think its possible? I can stay in one of the small towns along the way. Also do you recommend I do the Sanabres or just stick to the Invierno after Ponferrada?

    Camino Frances Followed by VdlP

    Hello everyone, As my starting day approaches, I’ve been looking at alternative routes (ones that are less traveled and crowded). I initially thought about doing the Camino Frances and taking the Invierno route from Ponferrada. But recently I started thinking about following the Frances up...

    Random helpful advice

    So I start my first Camino in about 20 days and I already spend half my day reading posts on this forum hoping to answer the hundreds of “what if”s that are on my mind. I’m sure there are others like me so, I thought it would be nice if each person who had previously walked the Camino could...

    Camino In August

    Hello everyone, I heard the Camino can get pretty crowded during the months of July and August, but I was wondering how crowded exactly, if I’m starting in SJPdP to SdC? I don’t plan on staying in the towns suggested in the Brierley guide book. I also don’t mind the crowd but I just want to...
