I've stayed at the Valcarlos albergue 3 years in a row...pick up the door code from the local bar. ... Valcarlos also has private accommodation....loved it..it's 14 klms from SJPdP...I find Orrisson has a monopoly on the other way. I'll try it for my future CF one day. Also met people that went...
Hi Andy,
My son ( from Gold Coast) loved his first Camino, finishing 800klm later in 2017 from SJPdP. We went through to Valcarlos for the first night, then Roncesvalles on the 2nd. He started up his own Camino family through Whatsapp. I wasn't invited onto that! He went too hard in the first...
I'm leaving Lisbon......May 1st because when I wonder how long I've been walking I just think of the date ....I'm slow so I may take 5 weeks to reach SDC.
bom Caminho

I'm leaving Lisbon May 1st.....are there any surprises? How was the walk? How long does it take? Are there bag transporters established? How was the weather? Bom Caminho!

Oh oh, she's sucked you into her vortex....each sock hadp to be opened at the top and pegged so the air flows down and through. Well every piece of clothing is opened and pegged so that the air flows down....I'm still in therapy ...our bags were bagged and hung like meat on hooks at the end of...
That's a great suggestion, walking 14 klms out of Burgos to Rabé de Las Calzadas for the first day. I've stayed at the €5 new municipal near the extradinary Burgos cathedral, 3 years in a row. Great pods of four beds & showers, kitchen. I dropped my bag off across the road at the cafe (...
Yeah! I did the 920 klms (Francis) may 2018, to Muxia/ Finistere from SJPdP........loved every step.... Afterwards hopefully doing the Ingles from Ferrol to SC in June....life is wonderful when walking.......

Hi all,
My fourth caminho is the Portuguese one starting on the May 1st. I plan on taking it slow over 5 weeks. I love the preparation and have bought a new eye mask today. My pack weighs 8 kg and would love to get it lower but............
I'm looking forward to seeing Portugal on the Central...
Well done And I suppose you know to climb up to the museum monastery up the hill, to get the hand written 400 Klm distance certificate written in old Spanish. The halfway certificate....
It's very beautiful.

A great scenario.......very exciting for you all. Take the whole family....what a hoot it'll be for your once in a lifetime pilgrimage. My son asked me to go with him last year . Now we have given 4 library talks together to encourage others. He gives the " what's App" version & I give the more...
Also 'youtube' shows many people doing the Camino Francis in a myriad of ways...I went with my son a year ago and we're still talking about it. It was so bonding.....
