    The Camino Preparation Handbook – 3rd Edition

    Dear Pilgrims, I have recently published the long-awaited 3rd edition of my Camino Preparation Handbook! "My original intention wasn’t actually to write a book, but instead to maintain a camino blog, which gradually expanded from just diary entries to practical information after learning the...

    Tui to Vigo?

    Hola amigos, Although Ponte de Lima to Tui is a loooong day, the following stage from Tui to Redondela has always felt longer for some strange reason, although it is indeed shorter... perhaps because it feels harder on the feet. Setting Vigo as the destination is roughly 5km shorter than...

    Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone has done the Variante Espiritual between Christmas and New Year's Eve? If so, I'd like to know the following: Has anyone had problems with accommodation at either of the albergues in Armenteira or Vilanova de Arousa? Has anyone had problems catching the...

Has anyone walked this Camino in mid October and if so, what are the high and low temperatures for this time of year, especially at altitude at night, mornings and midday? What is the situation in the albergues...

    Does walking quickly mean that you're a bag snatcher???

    After each Camino, I've notice that my walking speed increases. It's something that just occurs instinctively without me being aware of my walking speed. Whether I'm walking out of a shop back to the car in the car park, or along the footpath en route to somewhere, I usually hit my average...

    New Years Eve on the Camino

    Here I am again, dreaming of all the Caminos I would love to walk if I had unlimited spare time in my life, such as the Mozarabe which hooks up with the VDLP, but realistically it would appear that the next Camino for me will be the Portuguese again over the christmas break. Last time I was...

    Honeymoon on the Camino

    Well it's about that time in life when one says "I do". My fiancee and I are tying the knot in 4 weeks and will be having our honeymoon on the Camino; walking the last part of the Frances (from Astorga to SdC) over Easter and then on to Finisterra and Muxia. I'm not sure that it's going to be...

    Pilgrim's Mass at Burgos Cathedral

    So far every Pilgrim's Mass along the way has eluded us for one reason or another. We're hitting the trail again in the 1st week of October; starting in Burgos where we finished up in June. Even though we're coming in late from Santander, we were hoping to catch the Pilgrim's Mass on the evening...
