    Hi Denise, Welcome to this forum. On the internet you can find plenty of travel organizations offering caminos. Below there are 2 that offer caminos from Sarria to Santiago. Note: I have no experience with either of them (or any other travel agency). Just check them out: - www.caminoways.com -...

    Travel from Norway to SJPDP

    Auto translation works in mysterious ways. Or, in other words: Automatisk oversettelse fungerer på mystiske måter. 😉

    Hello

    Hi Elke, Welcome to this forum. First of all: take care of your knee. You're so right to take this up with your specialist. The Via de la Plata is a relatively easy one: no climbs untill you get to Galicia, but sometimes the distances between towns/albergues can be quite long (depending on...

    Es geht los (It's starting)

    Halz und Beinbruch. Or, as Google would translate: break a leg. I've never understood how such a phrase represents a wish for good luck and fortune, but well, that's just what it is! Buen Camino.

    Just for Laughs

    Well, I always "print" the compost myself. It's easy. You can do the same. Just remember NOT to flush the toilet afterwards, or it'll be gone. ;)

    Missing the Camino

    Better be careful. I've walked my 5th Camino last year. Having walked most of the major ones, thought it would be my last. This thought lasted 4-5 weeks. Then that nagging feeling started again, which has now turned into a (impossible to ignore) itch. So there are only two solutions for you...

    Planning on a Camino walk (Camino Frances) in Sept 2022. I have never been to Europe.

    On the other hand, maybe it's best not to believe my previous post. I'm beginning to doubt myself now...

    Planning on a Camino walk (Camino Frances) in Sept 2022. I have never been to Europe.

    Reading books? I do it all the time, fiction or non-fiction. It gives me great pleasure. I absolutely enjoy it. There's nothing wrong with reading books. You can safely read books and still keep an open mind!

    Greetings from a newbie!

    A great source for free downloadable camino-tracks can be found on the website of the Dutch fraternity of St. James. This page is (also) in English: https://www.santiago.nl/downloads/

    Hi i am erica from spain

    Hello Alice, This walk will involve some climbing, but not too bad. There are a lot of possibilities to make each day as long as you’d like. Take a look at Gronze.co. It’ll give you a good idea of what to expect: https://www.gronze.com/etapa/sarria/portomarin Buen camino. Enjoy your way.

    Adverse weather? Q to pilgrims walking now

    And some additional advice: you can tell your mother that extreme weather conditions in Spain only occur at nighttime and never during walking hours. 😉

    Kia ora! Hello!

    I'd say you've got still a number of years to add to your youth!!! ☺

    Kia ora! Hello!

    Hi Chick, Welcome to this forum. Unfortunately I'm afraid I've got some dissapointing news for you: after having taken a look at your picture I've reached the conclusion that you might still have a couple of camino's in you!! Go for it when you get the chance. Or, in other words: go take a walk.

    Hoping to do my first Camino in September

    Trecile is right: I have walked the Via de la Plata. I started in the second half of August, wrongfully assuming that it would be 'close to autumn'. It wasn't. About speaking Spanish: it doesn't really matter where you'll walk. They speak it everywhere in Spain. True, on the costa's and the...

    Thank you

    A big welcome to you, Macedonië. It’s nice to see younger generations joining this forum and planning to walk a Camino. Enjoy!

    Choosing a second Camino

    Maybe the statistics of the pilgrim's office in Santiago can help you to make up your mind: The 'green' years are the Holy Years. These are always busier than the 'pagan' years. 2021 is the next Holy Year. The Camino Portugues is, after the Frances, the busiest Camino, although the large...

    My Introduction

    Having walked both the Frances (twice) and the Del Norte, I wouldn't walk the Frances again. Not because the Frances isn't worthwile, because it is!!! I like to meet other pilgrims, but just not in great numbers. But, if I was planning my first Camino, I'd probably choose the Frances. That...

    UK flights to start at Lorgrono and flights from Burgos back to UK

    Hi Jo, It's also possible to fly from Manchester to Bilbao (lowcost: Easyjet, Ryanair, Vueling). From Bilbao a bus will take you to Logroño in a little under 2 hours (there's one every hour/hour-and-a-half). There's also a train from Bilbao to Logroño (depending on the day: once or twice a...
