To @ess1113 and @Calisteve and anyone else who has walked the Salvador recently, I would be interested in your experiences on two different parts.I walked the San Salvador in September and I loved every step!! A great precursor to the Primativo
The first 1:20 of this video shows one way of creating a kml file that you should probably watch but pretty much not pay too much attention to as you will be using a kml or kmz file already created for you. Then the video shows how to upload the kml/kmz file to Maps. Click the title instead of the arrow to get a bigger display.This is wonderful. Can I upload the GPS tracks to my Google maps so I’ll have offline? I have only used maps.me maps.
Laurie (Ender), may I share this with the Chapter Coordinators of the Canadian COmpany of Pilgrims, please. ty. IngridHot off the presses and ready for 2022 pilgrims, a new version of the Salvador guide. If there are questions or confusions, PLEASE let me know. Buen camino, Laurie

GUIDE TO THE CAMINO DE SAN SALVADOR
In this new version of the guide, I have tried to answer all the questions that pilgrims have asked me over the years. This update will also show you the Camino del Salvador exactly as it is today.
This guide contains a new feature that responds to many pilgrim requests — the GPS tracks. In order to make it more user friendly, I have put the tracks on Google. That way, everyone with a phone can see the entire trail and know where they are at any moment. Fortunately there are very few places without cell phone coverage on this Camino.
For those who have already walked this Camino, I would say that you have to come back, because there are many new sections. We have brought back trails that keep you off the asphalt, and there are also some new alternatives that make this Camino even more beautiful.
A special shout-out to my friends who have helped me all these years. You are always there when I need you — Josines, Luisín, David and Javi.
To those who are no longer with us, such as my special friend Juan — In your garage we made the arrows and conch shells that we put up years ago. They turned what used to be meadows and mountain into a Camino. Now we can walk this route just by following the markings, because the path is well marked by the thousands of pilgrims who have traveled over it. Thank you Juan.
To the hospitalero pilgrims Elidio and Sebastián, whom we will always remember.

The camino is made by pilgrims, and the Camino del Salvador is for pilgrims who love the Camino. I hope you like it….. buen camino, peregrinos!!!
Let me just check, I would be stunned if there is a problem. And btw, for Ingrid and others, a question — Ender had mentioned the possibility of putting a donativo button somewhere near the guide. But he doesn’t want people to think that he is trying to make money for himself. There are many ongoing projects and needs for his little band of Salvador angels, and they do spend a lot of their own cash. Any ideas about how to do that?Laurie (Ender), may I share this with the Chapter Coordinators of the Canadian COmpany of Pilgrims, please. ty. Ingrid
I have walked the Salvador and used Enders Guide. The Salvador is a wonderful walk and I really enjoyed it. I would be grateful to be able to donate money for his work so please do not hesitate to make it possible to make a donation.Ender had mentioned the possibility of putting a donativo button somewhere near the guide.

A donativo button works great, right in the document. And in my opinion, humbly spoken, there is nothing wrong with being reimbursed for all your efforts, especially if personal money is being spent to keep this Camino open. I see it as an exchange of energy! Money is only one form of energy!Let me just check, I would be stunned if there is a problem.

Yes, sure, go ahead. Sorry I forgot to answer you.Laurie (Ender), may I share this with the Chapter Coordinators of the Canadian COmpany of Pilgrims, please. ty. Ingrid
In case you don’t find them, as I could not, let me know and I will send you a copy of the app which ought to be accurate as it was just updated. Have a great time!I’m a dummy and accidentally downloaded the point-to-point GPS tracks for the Salvador before leaving and now can’t find the original file. Can someone point me to Ender’s tracks please?
Thank you, a copy of the app would be great! I still haven’t found Ender’s tracks.In case you don’t find them, as I could not, let me know and I will send you a copy of the app which ought to be accurate as it was just updated. Have a great time!
My friend and I are starting on the 15th. Sorry to miss you!Me and my Novia will l be on the San Salvador from the 18th next week, I was going for the 15th but after reading a few posts on here I realised it it was getting to be busy for that start. I flew into Madrid last Wednesday and there was another peregrino on the plane who I got chatting to, he was doing the San Salvadorhe was meeting friends in Madrid to head off to the start. We will be going slow but hopefully will be in Mieres on the 23rd for the Noche de San Juan and Oviedo on the 24th for the continuation of the celebrations., I have seen the festivities before in Asturias whilst on Camino and they can be a bit crazy.
It's ok part of the reason we swapped our dates is not to avoid you but to ensure other accommodation options are not too stretched by several people known to be starting at the same time + others not known who will definitely be on this Camino in a increasing busy probably record year. Me and my partner walked the San Salvador in 2014, when I asked her if she would like to walk with me she said yes and said can we do the San Salvador again, so it shows how highly my partner thinks of it. Things I'm looking forward which we never did last time to are the river walk out of Leon we stuck to the road last time I'm not sure about the alternative in Cascantes it may be less asphalt but it may be between industrial sites, I probably need a bit more info on it. We may also stay in the alternative albergue just after Pajares which also means going on the little known pre train tracks route after the Puerto de Pajares which I'm sure Alvaro Lazaga used in descending to San Miguel on his vlogs recently, we will do this just because if the weather is good we will going on the monastery variant, if the weather is bad forget about that and also the other stunning way which the variant joins I walked the latter in pouring rain in 2014 and it was so treacherous underfoot. I'm also looking forward to visiting the Iglesia Santa Christina, it was closed last time we visited and finally if we make it which is no way certain for me then it will be a pleasure to be in Oviedo again and while last time I didn't obtain the certificate I will do this time because it will mean something to me.My friend and I are starting on the 15th. Sorry to miss you!
Thank you! I have yours and the Gronze ones now so no excuses for getting lost!Nick, @jungleboy, I updated my Salvador tracks from Enders updates and others who have taken the river walk out of León. You can access my files here: https://www.pilgrimagetraveler.com/support-files/camino-san-salvador-entire-route.zip
Have a lovely walk!

If you or any other forum members want to share the dates of your early stages, I’ll see if Ender is around for a visit — usually he goes to Poladura if you are going to be staying there.My friend and I are starting on the 15th.
On its way to your inbox now. Enjoy the way, it’s one of my favorites.Thank you, a copy of the app would be great! I still haven’t found Ender’s tracks.
We aim to be at Poladura on Thursday night if all goes well!If you or any other forum members want to share the dates of your early stages, I’ll see if Ender is around for a visit — usually he goes to Poladura if you are going to be staying there.
+1 to all of this! I picked up the Salvador credential yesterday. Do we need two stamps per day the whole way for the certificate?I'm also looking forward to visiting the Iglesia Santa Christina, it was closed last time we visited and finally if we make it which is no way certain for me then it will be a pleasure to be in Oviedo again and while last time I didn't obtain the certificate I will do this time because it will mean something to me.
I can't remember but on the 1st day you have ' letterboxes' which include a stamp for your credential and a message book, there may be more letterboxes' now. And when I say letterbox it is out in the wilds and is easily visible.+1 to all of this! I picked up the Salvador credential yesterday. Do we need two stamps per day the whole way for the certificate?
Just heard from Ender that he is out of the area, traveling.We aim to be at Poladura on Thursday night if all goes well!

Hi, Gonçalo, I am happy to get a PM, but I think that a forum posting is probably a better option. The information might be of interest to others, but more importantly, there are other forum members who have direct experience walking the Salvador in winter. I’ve walked the Salvador three times, in fall and summer, but never in winter!Hi Peregrina2000. First of all, thanks for the guide you've compiled. It seems quite great. I'm thinking about doing the Camino Salvador and Primitivo this winter. Probably starting around the 20th of december. In the past I've done the Camino Frances also in the winter, but I do have some questions regarding doing the Camino Salvador in this period. Is it possible to message you in private in order to adress you my questions? Thanks a lot. Cheers
