    Where to stay in Bruma--AKA a Camino highlight

    That may be true, BUT Hotel Canaima costs more than twice that of Meson do Vento, and more importantly, Antonio isn't there. :)

    Where to stay in Bruma--AKA a Camino highlight

    My family and I hiked from Ferrol to Santiago the end of May 2017, so we needed lodging close to the Camino. We were looking for a place that was clean, comfortable, and quiet so we could rest. We also wanted something reasonably priced. O Meson Novo was all that and more! (PR Ó Mesón NovoPR...

    May or June

    Hello! My family are planning on walking Camion Ingles in 2017. After looking at average rainfall for May, I'm wondering if we should wait until June or July. I walked it last year in June and it was very wet. Has any of you walked it in May?

    June vs. July

    Hello! I walked the Camino Ingles the first time in June this year and LOVED it--even all the rain. I am considering doing it again next summer with my husband and adult children. Due to scheduling constraints, we cannot go until mid-July. Has anyone walked Camino Ingles in July? Any rain...

    Ferrol, rain gear retailers

    I just arrived in Ferrol and see the forecast is rain all week. I brought a rain jacket and poncho. My pants at water resistant but not water proof. Do I need rain pants? Is it possible to buy them here in Ferrol? Any store recommendations? Has any pilgrim ever carried an umbrella...

    pilgrim's credential

    After reading all the posts on "real pilgrims" and the compostela, it got me thinking more about the value of the credential. Collecting the stamps requires interaction between the pilgrim and those who stamp the credential. It is through interaction that we learn and grow. It's the perfect...

    pilgrim's credential

    Where can I get a pilgrim's credential in Ferrol? Is there a special office? Is it necessary to have one if I don't stay in albergues?

    Ferrol to Pontedeume

    Hello! Next week I start my Camino! The first leg of the Camino is 18 miles, Ferrol to Pontedeume. I have the option of a taxi transfer the first 6 miles, which means my first day will be 12. I already am able to hike 10 miles in under 3 hours, so I wonder if hiking 12 that first day will...

    Camino Ingles terrain

    Joe, I thought your response was indeed helpful. Your experience on the Camino Inglés tells me that using poles is a personal preference. Susan

    hydration pack size

    I'm debating between a 2 or a 3 liter hydration pack. How often can one refill one's water supply? On a hot day, it seems I drink about 1 liter/hour. Susan

    Best route to get to Ferrol

    Hello! thank you for responding. I will finish my walk in Finisterra. I'm trying to figure out how to get back to A Coruña from Finisterra, as the train does not run between those two points.

    Best route to get to Ferrol

    Thank you for the information about Coruna. I will arrive in Madrid and have 3 days to fill before starting my camino. Do you recommend I spend my time in Coruna instead of Madrid? Do you advise flying or taking the train from Madrid to Coruna? Thank you for any information you can...

    Camino Ingles terrain

    Hello! I'm trying to decide on appropriate gear for my Camino next month. Is the terrain fairly flat and paved, or is it more rugged, requiring walking poles and shoes with traction? Thanks for any information you can share. Susan

    Best route to get to Ferrol

    Thank you for your prompt response! Let me see if I understand your information. The airport nearest Ferrol is A Coruña? Do you know if it's possible to purchase a one-way train ticket to Ferrol? I don't see that option on the Renfe booking link. Thanks again! Susan

    Best route to get to Ferrol

    Greeting from Minnesota, U.S.! I will be starting the Camino in Ferrol. What is the best mode of transportation to get from Madrid to Ferrol? I don't want to fly into Santiago, because it would spoil my arrival there after the first leg of my journey. Thanks for any information you can...
