      igailfh reacted to Gerard Griffin's post in the thread Feeling alone and anxious with Like Like.
      I'm in the third off-stage municipal albergue since Triacastela, and they're all half-empty. Munis don't accept reservations, so it's first come first served, and if you're there at 1 pm when they open you're certain to get a bed. Nothing to...

      Hello if you are "doing this" - stop looking at booking-dot-com! Use WhatsApp to contact some albergues by calling or texting direct if yoou do want to make reservations ahead (or try your luck when walking into the town\village) Stay off...

      igailfh reacted to Naturaleza's post in the thread Pilgrimage - selfish? with Like Like.
      Been back for a week from the Camono Primitivo, my heart is full of overwhelming gratefulness for this experience, but also full of disappointment. On one side, I enjoyed a beautiful and astonishing landscape. Special flowers beside the paths...

      igailfh reacted to K_Lynn's post in the thread The Camino will provide? with Like Like.

      igailfh reacted to trecile's post in the thread Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice with Like Like.
      The Camino Portugués starts in Lisbon, so starting in Porto is no more "complete" than starting from Tui, Barcelos, or Ponte de Lima. A "complete" Camino is one that ends in Santiago de Compostela, and if you want to receive a Compostela at the...

      Thank you for sharing this story. It makes one grateful for anonymity. And I agree @SabsP there is no reason to doubt their sincerity. Whether 'royals' or 'commoners' - my impression from people I've met walking and while living on a camino...

      A BBC press release about the latest of the occasional BBC "Pilgrimage" series. This time 3 programmes following a group of celebrities on a journey across north Wales to Bardsey. With a fair bit of deviation from the direct route...
