Camino Aragonês notes and observations April '24
@Flog Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to give this really useful report. This is the sort of thing the forum excels at, not (whisper)......bedbugs, snoring and blisters ;). I walked from Lourdes up to SJPdP a long time back in 2009 and have always hankered to go back again and...- timr

LIVE from the Camino On the Camino de Madrid!
The more i read this and other accounts of CdM the more I feel that I need to go back. As I have often said, I don't think I have a favourite route, but if I did, I think it would be the CdM. There is something pleasingly compact and solitary about it and really every day is rather different...- timr

You are convincing me with the food! A friend did it last. year and found the mountains fairly convincing! 😱 -
Francigena in southern Italy
Yes I have walked from Rome to Santa Maria de Leuca. Many fewer people.Quite a number of variants along the way. You can choose how soon to reach the coast.You could take in Monte Sant Angelo for instance. Waymarking and infrastructure slowly but steadily increasing I can see. (I walked in 2018...- timr

Cammino Retico
Just to add that I got in touch with them to ask a few questions on FB messenger and they responded quickly and enthusiastically. It looks like another interesting endeavour to develop new camino/cammino-like walks, such as we have discussed here before - Magna Via Francigena in Sicily, Cammino... -
The case for preserving the descent into Zubiri.
@Peregrinopaul Thanks for the information and I hope you will be able to get the book out soon. The illustrations and explanations look extremely well done. Slightly tangentially - Does anyone know what the stretch from Castrojeriz to Alto de Mostelares was like before, I guess, it was...- timr

Cammino Retico
It looks very interesting on the site. I have never before seen insurance included in the "package" with the credential. €80,000 for death or invalidity and € 200 for a fracture. You get this if you join the association. Assicurazione Ma la cosa forse più importante è che sarete assicurati... -

That makes a difference doesn't it! Very positive. A feature of quieter routes I think.- timr

Via Ellenica (Italy) - Summary
Thanks @jungleboy for a perfect description. I walked from Matera to Brinidisi (and yes it is marked all the way bidirectionally) in autumn of 2022 and just as you did, loved every step of the way. And like you I think the thing that set it apart was the friendliness and hospitality of the... -
LIVE from the Camino On the Camino de Madrid!
Impressive too, I thought, to learn that the Roman Emperor Theodosius the Great was born in Coca in 347. He was a sort of a military child. I didn't stay in Coca, but took refreshments and found his bust in a bar there. Other places (in Spain) in fact lay a claim to be his birth place. He has...- timr

LIVE from the Camino Back on the Via Francigena
Fascinating @Mefo Phillips and @roving_rufus Many thanks. Interesting that in 2018 things had not changed all that much in France I think, since 2006. though the GR was there for those who wanted it! I have the sense that numbers of pilgrims are increasing quite a lot and the waymarking is...- timr

Ex Porto: A Beginners experience/learnings (May 2024)
Thanks for taking the time and effort to report back. It is really helpful. Just one particular comment. In Nov 2016, in Tui I stayed in the municipal and have to say it was extremely average, but of course quite adequate and I am not complaining. I walked out in the evening and found Ideas...- timr

Albergue San Juan de Ortega -- a question
San Juan de Ortega is not really a town! Not really a village even. The church and old monastery and a couple of BnBs is most of it. But the next two places (in neither of which I have stayed), that is Ages and Atapuerca have multiple listings on Gronze for beds of varying sorts, and I know...- timr

Albergue San Juan de Ortega -- a question
I think I stayed three or even four times over the years and always enjoyed. Certainly got the garlic soup the first time (2009). That little bar next door is a gem. What I remember most is a great air of conviviality. Lot of people staying and sitting out on the benches, and lot of people...- timr
