    Melide Flasher

    Hi Just to warn you all. Today I was standing on the other side of melide with my wife applying sun screen when 2 peregrino ( both young girls) came along.

    Reflection

    Recently I have been thinking of an experience I had on my last visit to the Camino Frances. I had walked from ST Jean to Burgos (having done Burgos to Santiago year before) and was leaving the Camino traveling to Madrid by bus. On the morning I walked to take the bus I walked from the alburgue...

The Poncho is so cool as it covers everyhting and I mean everything. All my kit queries are centered around...

    how long will Camino Frances take

    Hey there, I think 40 days will be enough provided that you are reasonably fit and also have factored in some days rest and also that you may get injured and be forced to rest. It is a good ide to consider that you may get an injury or become ill. Dont mean to be negative but if you plan for...

    Guidebook

    Hey SligoRover, I used a Cicerone book as a guide. It was given to me as a gift by a previous pilgrim. While it is no entirely up to date, I found it quite compact and the index in the back clearly indicates the towns and villages disrtances and also the presence or absence of an alburgue. It...

    Your favorite refuge

    I stayed in Virgen del Camino. Its outside of Leon and I went there to get my way oot of Leon in the afternoon rather than early next morning. It was brand new and I was there with only one other pilgrim. I loved the small town and ate and slept very well. It is not well known, I believe ...

    Plastic Bags

    HI all, Surely the issue is not plastic bags but people. Poeple make noise, thats a fact. If its not plastic bags its snoring or generally being out of bed before you. I used plastic bags as an emergency measure on my camino and was acutely concious of the noise to the point of embarassment...

    Starting point La Virgen del Camino

    Hi, I stayed in Virgen Del Camino in sept last (06). I decided I wanted to get out of Leon as it was too big and I was concerned with finding a route out in the early morning darkness so I moved on to Virgen. I stayed in possibly the cleanest and nicest Alburgue of my camino. As I walked up...
