Absolutely beautiful day Friday in Oviedo, but I needed one more day to get over the flight from the US. Masking up the whole flight, crying infants, and turbulence made for a rough flight. No one in Spain even checked my vaccine records or the qcr codes, but I provided the information prior to...
I am getting ready to leave for the airport in a couple of hours heading for Oviedo. I thought I would start this thread before I left to make sure everything was working.
This this will be my third Camino. The first was the Frances in 2016 with my wife from Leon, and the second was the...
Second the wise pilgrim app…I love it.
As a forester I still like paper maps, but find the village to village maps better. So for me one app and one book. I try not to pick up the phone unless there is real need. The Camino is time to get off grid.
I will be on the Primitivo on April 29.
Loved reading the thread and viewing your fantastic photos.
I plan to be leaving Ovideo going west mid-September this year.
Thanks for all the great information.
I am also are planning a Camino for 2021 and will set my schedule to coincide with the viewing September 14-21 (the octave).
The information I have now is it will be on display on Feast of the Triumph of the Cross on 14 September, and its octave on 21 September.
Hoping to get better...
Thank you for the maps. I still prefer an paper map over a device that can have a dead battery. People on the Appalachian trail try to use phones or GPS, but they are almost useless due to heavy tree cover, terrain, an lack of cell signal. My last hike in the Great Smokies we had no phone signal...
Joining the Frances as late as possible is what I was wanting. I just remember the crazy crowds from 2016, but 2021 is a weird year so maybe the crowd would be more welcome.
I found some older information on the forum, but I am looking at September or October this year to walk the Primitivo from Oviedo.
I have previously walked the Frances from Leon and the Portugues from Porto.
I would like to enter Santiago on a new route.
