    Death of American pilgrim in Castromaior today

    I am so sorry for your loss. It must have been a terrible shock, but as you so honestly put "he was doing what he loved" ... & you were by his side. So glad you got some support & comfort from your fellow pilgrims. Sending warm Irish hugs your way. Ar dheis De go raibh a-anam. 🙏

    Sarria too busy?

    Hi Ellie, I did this stretch with my hubby around the same time a few years ago. I had done it solo, & a few other sections too, but I thought this would be a good one for him. Maybe we were 'lucky'?, but I don't remember it being overly busy. It is the CF after all; the most popular route...

    Too late to start preparing & weather in May?

    You must go back ... everyone goes back! As already stated by another pilgrim, this is YOUR Camino ... so you start whenever & whatever time you like (tho I would recommend earlyish... before 8). I think the Camino is as much a mental as physical journey, so focus on your mind, emotions ... &...

    Sarria to Santiago oct 2018

    I have to agree with 'Saranger'. The Camino is a lovely 'journey', whether you do 100km or 800km. I've never had the 'luxury' to do 'the whole lot' ... some day, maybe ... but I've journeyed 6 'different' Caminos, & loved each one! The first was a large group 'fund-raising' trip in 2011... an...

    Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!

    OK Elisha you have been planning this wonderful journey for 2 years, and you're now on the cusp of departure ... & as many pilgrims will tell you, all sorts of everything goes through your head as the date gets closer. I'm not denying you have some kind of 'injury' there, but it seems to me...

    Sarria to Santiago de Compostela March 2018

    This is the best part Ann-Marie ... the anticipated mix of excitement & fear of the unknown You will love it! And don't worry about being on your own ... that only happens on the Camino when you make that choice. Everyone goes at their own pace. We're on the same path, but diffetent...

    1st Camino booked

    Hi Pasha, ... welcome, & best of luck with your first Camino ... it will not be your last! I did that stretch last year at exactly the same time. I thought I'd packed well, but ended up buying an extra pair of leggings. It was colder than I anticipated, especially early morning & evenings...

    Switching hostels in Santiago?

    All the best with your Camino Daniela. Try not to worry too much .... but if you have any concerns en route, just ask any of your fellow pilgrims. Everyone is helpful and willing to lend advice .... as we're all travelling the same road. Buen Camino .... enjoy your journey! :)

    Sarria in 3 days!

    Thanks Mike. Have to say, this was the best Camino journey I've done ... so far! I was quite apprehensive about going 'solo', ... but I don't think I could do the 'group thing' again after this. I stopped/started/chatted/snapped/café latted when I wanted ... and it was soooo good. Thanks for...

    Hi again Joe, Off today, ... so a bit of time (+ I can't seem to 'manage' correspondence on my phone ... laptop is easier, ... but I need a new one!) Anyways, no problems with the route or accommodation. Best marked route I've ever done. Most people I met were making bookings on the way. I...

    Joe, I'm in work now so will get back to you later. Best way to contact is via Booking.com. Think his name was Carlo?! I did all correspondence via email which seemed easiest for him, so try that. Can give you more info later if required? Route is very well marked and you will really enjoy it...

    Hi Joe, sorry it's taken so long to reply; I forgot my password (my brain is still in the Galician hills!), so my a/c was blocked (after too many 'attempts'), so I only got a chance to try again tonight as I was back working today (long shift) ... Anyways, ... I stayed in Pension La Estacion in...
