    Gradient of climb out of Betanzos?

    I must say I find it rather difficult to understand this obsession with gradients, and the calculations thereof. I mean, we're going to walk it, aren't we, regardless of whether it's 10% or however many metres rise per kilometre. When the steep bits come, then just get into bottom gear and...

    Gradient of climb out of Betanzos?

    Camino Ingles in April

    I have walked the Ingles twice, once in April, and again in June. Both times it was very quiet, in April the only other walkers were at Bruma (a Spanish couple) - in June there were a few more, at the albergue in Neda (4 Spanish and 1 German woman) and again at Bruma - 2 Spanish couples. So, no...

    El Camino Ingles in 5 days

    Be sure to stay at the Bruma albergue, the best one I've ever been to. The hospitalero and his wife are terrific.
