LIVE from the Camino Quiet about

Slowly slowly…
Time of past OR future Camino
Camino de Frances
Restarted CF exactly two years after Spanish lockdown interrupted our plans… it’s quiet about and much colder than March 2020.. but outside main towns opportunities for coffee seem very limited. For instance - we did the detour up to Venosa on our way to Najera. Nothing open at all. (Still worth it for the view from the church!) wonder if this will continue as we move along? I guess businesses aren’t finding it worthwhile to open just yet? Or sadly have closed? What are others finding? Any stretches where we need to make sure we have our own supplies?

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
If you are still in Najera or now in Azofra do stock up on trail snacks and water. It is a long way to Santo Domingo de la Calzada even in the best of times.

Here is an earlier post re basic food supplies that I always found useful.

Carpe diem and Buen camino
