    Join for a Coffee or Wine in Leon - March 3rd

    Polling Fellow Walkers - Start in SJPP or Pamplona?

    Starting from Canada on 21/8

    Do you not have to isolate at all ? Did you have to certify being double vaccinated? Only asking because I’m Canadian and desperate to head to the Camino. Buen Camino !!

    I know that but take a moment to be romantic….800+ sounds so much more impressive than anything in the 700’s !!

    Where to spend a relaxing week post Camino

    Picos de Europa national park in Asturias....hidden gem. Majestic salmon rivers, 6000 ft ‘Tolkeinesque’ peaks, beautiful towns and villages, rich history and culture. Take a look at the town of Cangas de Onis in the centre of the park.....awesome area !
