    Anyone returned to the Camino for a holiday?

    Many thanks indeed for your brilliant suggestions. I have been fortunate to visit Spain (mostly southern Spain) previously so absolutely agree on Andalucia and Granada. I feel a bypassed Astorga somewhat, so wouldn't have connected it with food. Most useful, thank you!

    Anyone returned to the Camino for a holiday?

    Love the tapas. Logrono is high on the list of places to potentially return to, mostly for that reason!

    Anyone returned to the Camino for a holiday?

    thank you for your response. The 'exploration' aspect is a big part of it I think - giving more time to these wonderful places walked through but not really 'seen'. Or seeing them through a different lens.

    Anyone returned to the Camino for a holiday?

    Thank you, Margaret. We stayed an additional day in Santiago and it certainly was not long enough! I love the idea of sitting in the square and watching the pilgrims finish their journeys there. Best wishes.

    LIVE from the Camino Avoiding "standard" stops

    Seems we had almost identical experiences almost exactly a year apart, MargLav! Early last October I struggled to find accommodation in a very busy Logrono (it was a holiday weekend I think), but was rewarded with the beautiful Ventosa albergue the following night. The night after we powered on...

    cold and wet

    Hi Nancy! I walked the Camino Frances throughout October last year and live in Yorkshire so feel relatively equipped to share my thoughts on this :) - As many others have said, 2L of water not needed. I carried 2 x 0.5L bottles and filled them from fountains along the way. Never a problem. -...

    Larrasoana

    I can't speak for the municipal in Larrasoana, but when I passed through last October I stayed in Albergue San Nicolas and it was brilliant. Lovely host, delicious home-cooked dinner, small rooms (mine only had 3 bunks in) and brand new bathrooms. The owner and his wife seemed very kind and I...

    Like @CaminoDebrita I am able to carry an extra couple of shells and will deliver them to Nate and Faith upon my arrival in Santiago. Feel free to PM me. They would need to reach me in London, England before 29 September.
