    LIVE from the Camino The Waypost Secret in Galicia

    The Waypost Secret Having just finished the VdlP / Via Sanabres I can affirm that the shells do not always point the same way. The yellow arrows are the most reliable indication of the Camino. In Galicia there is the most consistancy: the spikes of the shell point the way to go. However...

    Lodgings Each person who walks decides where he wants to stay. I post here the list of places where I stayed, with prices, for any who may be interested. All prices are what I paid for a single individual for one night although, frequently, I was in a double room when in hostals / hotels...

    Some afterwords Having walked into Santiago, met my wife in the Plaza de Obradorio where all pilgrims meet and greet, taken a photograph or two, we slipped away into the local hostal which bills itself as the oldest hotel in the world, having been used by pilgrims from time immemorial. Its...

    The last walk It is finished. I stepped into the Plaza de Obradoiro, Santiago de Compostela at 1355hrs, 25 October, 2012 having walked from Seville. ‘Neath the eastern, very pale blue sky with strips of clouds opposed by dark threatening clouds o’er in the west I set out this morning. No...

    830 km from Seville in the Sierra between A Gudiña and Laza (written several days ago). For those of you have completed the VdlP this day's experience will recall memories. For those of you who may walk the VdlP in the future this day's experience may well be one you meet. From the comfort...

    From the cutting edge of the VdlP! I am in Zamora. Walk going well! For those interested in the stage leading to Galisteo and about which there has been a certain amount of correspondence here I can report I had no problems. At the 8th gate on the stage there are clear signs to turn left and...

    LIVE from the Camino In the shadow of pilgrims: VdlP – Graeme Bennett

    Me and my shadow Walking northwards he is beside me throughout the morning. We do not speak, each lost in his own thoughts. Early in the day he is long but shortens as the morning advances. He keeps perfectly in step with me. When I pause for a rest he usually disappears discretely, a tree...

    I have reached Zafra, 158km along the VdlP, in 7 days. Good walking, excellent weather, temps 20 - 35C. For you who have walked and for you "caminoistos" in waiting imagine this scenario: On Day 1, from Seville, I arrive at my first village, Guillena, to stay. Following a "recommendation"...

    LIVE from the Camino we plan to walk starting the beginning of November.

    Worry not! Sure, it'll be cool even cold but have layers of clothes, but without too much weight to carry. Albergues could be closed but there are hotels in some villages and, of course, towns. When I did the Camino and was in Galicia I did have, once or twice, to walk on to the next...

    Women alone

    I suggest you have alook at this site: http://www.webcompostella.com/# and click on "acceder au forum" and then "témoignages femmes seules sur le chemin ". This will give you several opinions by women who have done the pilgrimage alone. In summary they are all very enthusiastic, had no...
