    Who would like to join us on our Camino del Salvador in Sept 2018?

    Sandra is lovely and very helpful. But her car is not very good at the moment so she said she rather not pick up if not necessary and only offers if you come from Poladura. Maybe her situation has changed in the meantime but best to ask. If you decide to walk to her albergue it's a couple of km...

    Who would like to join us on our Camino del Salvador in Sept 2018?

    Hi Dawnie. We walked from Poladura to Pajares and from there to the albergue in Buenduenos which was wonderful. Some people walked to Campomanes (from Pajares) but I would recommend Buenduenos as it's different and special and a long enough distance from Pajares, we found. It was a beautiful...

    Leon to La Robla

    Thanks for your great suggestion. It's definitely something to consider. We are aiming for La Robla on the first day as we hope to walk the Salvador in 5 days but you never know, so it's helpful to have an alternative. I would really like to stay in Benduenos (like everyone else it seems!) but...

    Leon to La Robla

    Thanks so much for your advice and positive response. It seems to make a lot of sense to go to La Robla and i think we be fine on the first day, even if tired!

    Leon to La Robla

    Hi Rachael Hi Rachael, thanks for your reply. You must be leaving soon too?! By sounds of it we should be fine, even if it takes a bit longer. We walk long distances very regularly at home, just not so used to our camino backpack weight until we get there but feel fit enough. We see how the...

    Leon to La Robla

    Hi everyone, My son and I will be starting our Camino the Salvador on Saturday the 22nd of September. It's very exciting and getting close..! Hope to do it in 5 days which seems doable. But we'll have traveled the two days prior so i hope we'll be rested enough to walk the first day. Hence my...

    Notes on the San Salvador after two recent caminos.

    Hi Feli Hi Felice thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad to hear the dogs were not as scary as they looked. Just the sight of big dogs scares me a lot, especially when they come towards me and no one is around. I live in rural Ireland and when walking the back roads i'm known for turning...

    Notes on the San Salvador after two recent caminos.

    Thinks it's just before Poladura de la Tercia as mentioned in Pierre Julians post from November 2017..

    Notes on the San Salvador after two recent caminos.

    Hi I will be walking the Salvador with my son end of September and wonder did you encounter some of the scary dogs people mentioned in former posts (near Buiza I think..) and were free roaming cattle a concern? As the date is getting closer I find myself getting a little nervous..

    Who would like to join us on our Camino del Salvador in Sept 2018?

    Hi great you're planning your first camino. Is it the Frances you're planning to do first? We did part of it last year and thought it was great to get an sense of what it's like. Del Salvador is much more quiet, strenuous and not as many stops etc. Is that what you're looking for? Are you...

    Who would like to join us on our Camino del Salvador in Sept 2018?

    Hi Rachael thanks so much that is very helpful. I will have time to have a proper read tonight but by what i can see it's a stunning walk so far your kids loved it.

    Who would like to join us on our Camino del Salvador in Sept 2018?

    Rachael, i would be very much interested in hearing more about your first experience walking the Camino del Salvador with your family. Other tips from people who walked this route with children would be welcome too of course.. thanks

    Who would like to join us on our Camino del Salvador in Sept 2018?

    Hi Rachael, thank you very much for your honest response. I can actually relate to what you say and would agree that it be a lot of pressure to commit to walk with someone the whole way, especially since it's hard to meet people who walk at your pace and who you connect with etc. I do like my...

    Who would like to join us on our Camino del Salvador in Sept 2018?

    And i wonder how different it would be from hooking up with people you meet on the way.. If you keep an open mind and are honest about your expectations, if any, i think it be fine. I would envision walking with others but doing our own thing as well. We don't have to be glued together

    Who would like to join us on our Camino del Salvador in Sept 2018?

    Hi Robo. Good point. I guess it's just teasing out options and maybe i'm being a bit impulsive.. I would only commit to the idea with someone as long as we would agree to part ways were it not to work out.. I think there are pro's and con's to meeting people this way. The forum is different...

    Who would like to join us on our Camino del Salvador in Sept 2018?

    Thanks Davebugg i appreciate your reply. I know it might be tricky but there are families out there who home school their children and i can take my son out of school for a couple of weeks without problems..So i hope to reach out to those in similar situations. Worth a try i thought!

    Who would like to join us on our Camino del Salvador in Sept 2018?

    Hi. My 11 year old son and i are planning our second Camino. We walked from Astorga to Finisterre last year. It was a great walk and very manageable and we're interested in a more adventurous Camino this time. We are very much interested in doing the Camino del Salvador and el Primitivo in...
