    My First Camino-Baztan

    It's a beautiful Camino. Nice to hear of more people walking it.

    What's the Camino like right now?

    I slept in Sahagun last night. It's pretty quiet and there's no problem getting a bed.

    Unique diplomas, credentials or other things?

    What's special about this Camino is its authenticity. And it is something you can take home with you.

    Sellos on holy days.

    From Ourense to Cea there are two possible routes and it's true that there isn't much in the way of bars or shops along either of them. Maybe you could get a stamp before leaving Ourense and another one in Cea, besides the ones you got from your accommodation. That should be plenty. If they...

    Albergue winter closing time

    In October and November on the southern section of the Via Camino you shouldn't have a problem finding accommodation. You can download the free guide from here: https://www.viadelaplataguide.net/pages/download

    LIVE from the Camino New Hip on an "Old" Camino

    Hi, and sorry for the delay replying. I haven't been on here much recently. I presume you're talking about the route from Requejo up to the pass which has been subject to disruption due to AVE works? There was another discussion a while ago about this and I replied in detail there...

    Busy? I’m alone at Luquin.

    Luquin is a lovely little village with a nice albergue, I think most people miss it because they go the other way through Villamayor.

    Mozarabe in September

    Yes, I stayed in albergues and got the codes from the association. I wasn't really paying attention but I doubt there is private accommodation in some of the smaller places.

    Security Warning On Via de Plata

    The Camino before Camas looks a bit dodgy because there are a few run-down shacks where people live but this area isn't known for crime and as far back as I can remember no pilgrim has experienced problems there. The incidents of robbery which others have mentioned happened further north after...

    SJPDP pilgrim office statistics - January to June 2024

    That about a third of people starting in SJPP don't finish in Santiago isn't really surprising. Quite a lot of people don't walk the whole way, for various reasons. I would have thought this figure would be higher but then again some people don't go to the Pilgrims Office in SJPP so maybe that...

    Credential in Zamora?

    As already said, the Municipal Albergue. Otherwise the Tourist Office would be worth trying.

    Via de la Plata by cycle - advise and conversation

    The Via de la Plata is very popular with cyclists so I don't think you'll have a problem. Buen Camino!

    Mozarabe in September

    I walked it in January as far as Granada. No problems with accommodation or food but you need to plan ahead a bit to make sure you always have something to eat. As other people have said, mid-Sept, likely to be extremely hot, personally I would wait until October. Nely in Almeria is the best...

    Revolut on Camino,

    I use my Revolut debit card in Spain all the time for card payments. I've never had a problem. I've never tried to withdraw cash with it.

    20km asphalt on stage 20 (out of Salamanca)?

    It's a mix of walking surfaces. https://www.viadelaplataguide.net/guide/listofplaces#salamanca

    Pilgrims from Ireland group?

    Hi I created a group a few years ago but I never did anything with it. I was too busy with the Via de la Plata group which started to get busy at that time. The URL is https://www.facebook.com/groups/irishpilgrimsonthecamino/ If you'd like to take over this group you're very welcome. I've...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Sanabres 2024

    Hi James Thank you for your most gracious reply. I'm glad to hear you found the button for the maps, etc. Maybe I need to make them bigger? I always welcome donations on my website if you're feeling generous! https://www.viadelaplataguide.net/ Yes, the Sanabrés is very different from...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Sanabres 2024

    Hi James I walked this route less than a year ago and updated the walking notes in my guide to include the two places you mention, the now restored path through Aciberos and that small route change before A Gudiña. My apps are also up-to-date for both of these places, including the maps. The...
