    Suggestions where to stay in Ferrol?

    helpful..thanks...yes, there is the option of walking to Neda (I arrive at Ferrol in the morning) where there is an albergue por peregrine (but alas, not at Ferrol nor A Coruna?!). I am hoping the Way is well marked......

    Suggestions where to stay in Ferrol?

    Hola, Is there an albergue de Peregrine in Ferrol? I would like to stay the night before I walk, ¨the way¨ the following morning. If not, where do you suggest I stay that is clean and good for a peregrino...I leave soon!

    5-6 days in July, Camino Sanabres?

    Thanks Miguel...Tourist Info in Santiago told me that I may well get lost walking this direction and suggested that I simply catch the train or bus to Ourense...so I figure this makes sense (even though I feel the Camino is meant to be walked in both directions) and then simply catch a flight...

    5-6 days in July, Camino Sanabres?

    Hi Maria, I am writing to you from Santiago and yes, it is a busy time on the Camino Frances---but not too hot nor too cold as Goldilocks may say... During the day on the trail, I did have time to reflect and to be quiet (I also like to walk solo)....it is simply finding the pockets where there...

    About to walk Camino de Invierno

    thanks so much for your reply. the only one!!! (which pretty much says it all) I will stay on the Camino Frances. I am not so sure how to switch to via de la plata...and I will simply endure the busy nights..but who knows, I may well have some space as there are more albergues on this Way. I...

    About to walk Camino de Invierno

    Hola from Leon! I aim to make it to Pontferrada in the not too distant future...(I am not in a hurry)....the weather has been really wonderful and the albergues are nearly always, <´completo< Sounds like the reverse on the invierno? Are municipales all open in the towns listed on this camino...

    Starting in Pamplona Tuesday May 21,2013

    Hiya Annie, I made the decision to walk from SJPP instead of Seville this year, beginning May 14th Si, si I am here on the Camino Frances and have had wonderful walking days thus far....sure, it is muddy and rainy now, but hey...as you say... this is familiar territory and the landscape is green...

    Starting in 1 week, concerned about Pyrenees weather 2013!

    hiya falcon, It will be cold atop the mighty Pyrenees, but not snowing! I recommend a sleeping bag for your night in Roncensveax. I am now in Obanos (cold in the albergue) and the walking these past days has been FANTASTIC...mud and rain, yes...and one´s shoes are rarely clean...but all so...

    Is the VDLP Safe Right Now?

    Dear Annie, I feel exactly as you do. I too am brave and not, "stupid". These robberies are so disturbing to me. I want to feel free when I walk (I prefer to walk alone) as I did on my prior camino experiences. One certainly feels more vulnerable as a woman too. There are other camino choices...

    ALERT Robbery on Stage 1

    Re: Robbery on Stage 1 wow, that truly must have been a shock. Thanks for alerting this forum. This news really disturbs this soon=to-be-stepping out pilgrim. Do you suggest walking in a group for the first stage? What is your advice? I wonder why this is happening. Is this mostly on Via de La...

    Sleeping bag or liner?

    Well, another "momentous" decision made. I usually travel with a liner and rely on an abundance of blankets (even if on the dusty n dirty side). I just bought a Roman Palm sleeping bag, however, and feel relieved that I now have my own bed, so to speak. Yes, super compact and weighs .9 kg...

    Many Rivers to Cross..?

    Crocs and polluted toxic rivers (in terms of drinking). Noted... I hear adding a few drops of iodine solution to fountain or tap water is a means to counter any potential bacteria. I am considering taking a wee bottle. Annie, I will be in Seville two days after you take a bus for Zafra! If you...
