    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    The nicest albergue I stayed in was in Arzua - Albergue Via Lactea. It's a private one run by the most amazing folks. They even put roses in the dorms and the loo's and had bowls of sweeties for pilgrims!! Very clean and modern. The absolute worst one was Albergue Bono (Municipal) in Sarria...

    After the Camino

    Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I guess it all boils down to the fact that you are doing the Camino for yourself alone - not for your friends or family. And yes, I guess it is odd walking so far when you're supposed to be on holiday. It's just so nice to plug into this Forum and chat...

    After the Camino

    Hello everyone I will start walking the Camino with my son on the 21st September (yippee!!) I’ve been training all year, on beautiful quiet country roads and going camping to remote places so that I can walk quiet paths in safety. Along the way I’ve meditated and encountered the most amazing...

    Trail Mantra

    I love this topic as I am mad about mantras - I use them every day. I will be walking in September and I have bought myself the Brierley guidebook, which I see has a section for reflections every day. I have written down a small mantra and a prayer for each day in this section, which I will...

    TO BOOK OR NOT TO BOOK

    Hi everyone Thanks very much for your replies. I am glad that I don't have to book as I wouldn't like to feel pressurised into being at a certain place on a given day. Glad to hear that I can do it my way. Appreciate your replies. Warm wishes Jane
