    How many stamps are required to receive a certificate of completion Compostela?

    Last year I had only collected 1 stamp a day from St Jean to Santiago (occasionally picking up an extra stamp here or there) - I did get my compostella but was told that I should have collected two for each day from Sarria regardless of having walked from St Jean. As mentioned earlier it is very...

    Pamplona during San Fermin

    I walked through Pamplona on the first day of San Fermin last year. There was a great buzz walking up to Pamplona and I saw a few fellow pilgrims walking up the main route so I decided to go for it and follow. Maybe a mistake! It was madness. A few times people were pulling at the side of my...

    New and Old trail into Portomarin

    I walked the new route this year out of curiosity. I found it steep but manageable but will avoid it the next time. I would imagine if you were tired and legs were weary that it would be tricky

    new Albergue La Finca in Poblacion

    Favorite Zero Days

    I have to admit I'm not great for zero days. When I feel the body needs a break I usually do a shorter day which involves a late start and early finish. I did that going into Leon this year and also treated myself to a massage that afternoon in Leon and really felt the break did me the world of...

    Irish Passport Card

    I came back home from Spain this week and did get asked at passport control why i only had a two year period on my passport card. I did have to try explain in very poor spanish that the passport card is linked to your main passport & I only had two years left on this. He seemed happy enough with...

    Irish Passport Card

    I applied for it as i felt it would be lighter to carry than the passport book and also handy to have in my wallet. I had no problem with it in the airport or anywhere else since i'm glad to report.
