    Gareth from Dublin on Camino yesterday.

    kirkie, if you check out Gareth's photos from Sunday above, I think you will see how these trees are right now :) Super photos Gareth. Take care, be safe over there.

    LIVE from the Camino Santiago- pension with a tub?

    Hotel San Lorenzo is close to the city centre and is on the route to Finisterre. Double rooms have a full bathroom. https://hsanlorenzo.com/en/ Take care, be safe. S.

    LIVE from the Camino Feeling sorry for myself in Burgos!

    This is worth a try. Just finished the Primitivo recently and four young women in our 'wave' were stricken with awful blisters: all switched to sandals and all finished in Santiago on their schedule :) Take care, be safe. S.

    A few questions re: 1980s Camino Francés

    Good point Mike. I knew Bert (he lived not far from my own home) he was an intrepid walker and was well known in Ireland for his walking and writing. A lovely man who will be missed by many...

    A few questions re: 1980s Camino Francés

    Phoenix, Below is a link to another little book written about a camino undertaken by Bert Slader in 1985. It will give you an insight into caminos around the period you are researching: you will be surprised :) Sadly Bert passed away earlier this year...

    Complete beginner... which route?

    I would go with the Ingles too. You can fly into Santiago from Dublin, take the airport bus directly to Santiago bus station and be in Ferrol that evening. There are lots of accommodation options in Ferrol and the walk from there to Santiago is excellent: lots of variety and not too difficult...

    An unexpected day in madrid

    If you like markets, this is one not to miss: http://www.mercadodesanmiguel.es/en/the-market/ close to Plaza Mayor. I can recommend the Sandeman walking tour too, great way to see the city. Take care, be safe.

    After Portomarin is better to turn right

    The photo which accompanies this article, shows two of the new mojones beside a building which is situated just as you come off the bridge from Portomarin: they are pointing to two alternative routes. These new majones have been placed where one of older aluminium signs was situated and which...

    Recipes for 12

    So we can expect 'Crack Slaw' at Rabanal in June if we are stopping there then Alan :);) Take care, be safe.

    Does anyone know what's going on with the 'milestones'?

    Oh and on the way to Finisterre too!! I have to say, I think they have their own charm ;) Take care, be safe.

    Does anyone know what's going on with the 'milestones'?

    On the Ingles, they get it down to the exact metre :):) Take care, be safe.

    Muxia or Finisterre?

    Muxia gets my vote too. Alburgue Bela Muxia is excellent: you can have a pilgrim dorm or the full works if you wish to :) The staff are super friendly and helpful. There is also a top class restaurant attached which provides superb seafood: perfect for a post camino splurge. Take care, be safe.

    St. Luke with sunglasses

    Pat, quite possible, didn't Moses bring two tablets down from the Mount. Happy New Year. S.

    Getting a walking stick home?

    I too was reluctant to put my trusty walking stick (purchased in St Jean in 2012) in the hands of the airlines and actually left it twice in Santiago with a friend who owns Pension Mafer there and picked it up on my return to go walking. I had flown home from Santiago twice and had observed...

    Scam?

    I met a German guy as I was leaving Leon early one morning in Sept 2012: he was walking back into the city and as I recall, he had a story about his card and an ATM machine. His story at that time, was that he had damaged it when he panicked while trying to retrieve it after it stuck partly in...

    A bar in St Jean

    It's a small world Gerard :) It would have been great to meet you on the way. Perhaps another year ;) Take care, be safe, S.

    A bar in St Jean

    Excellent suggestion Pat (and super idea Gerard). My pal John and I had our evening meal here on the night before we left St Jean for Santiago in 2012: exactly 2 years to the day tomorrow :):) Thanks for bringing back that wonderful memory. Take care, be safe. S.
