    Weather and gortex shoes

    I walked over 600 miles in my salomons no issues great shoes. Some rain along the north coast that didn't usually last too long, most mornings were misty along the coast. Last year when I went, I took gortex salomons after seeing a lot of rain in the forecast. What a mistake. They made my...

    A perfect Camino

    I’ve had some great Camino experiences but getting to see the Botofumeiro swing has not happened for me. The roof top tour of the cathedral was a cool experience. Finisterre And Muxia were beautiful but I was been defeated when it came to watching the sun dip behind the end of the water. The...

    Late flight into Porto - where to stay?

    I stayed at the Hotel Aeroporto, a 5 minute walk near the airport. I’ve stayed there at least twice. You walk up the road (N107-1) leaving airport, it’s the 1st road to the left and down that street a short distance. It was late afternoon, I checked in. Left my stuff in the room and walked 10...

    Santiago to Vilalba

    Last year, I bought my bus ticket about 2 weeks before heading to Spain to start my Camino. I did it online thru Alsa (busline). You'll be able to go upstairs at the bus station to get a ticket if you wait till then. I was traveling up to Ribadeo from SDC. My experience has been that the tickets...

    Are Multiple compostelas possible for the same walk?

    After arriving Santiago yesterday and receiving my third compostela. (Norte, Portuguese and now English starting at Ribadeo getting credit for the Del Mar) I asked this question to the pilgrims office. It was confusing to them. The answer they gave was no. I could only get the compostela for one...

    What was left unused? What can be left behind?

    If you have camping items. I doubt you'll be able to get under 8kg. I could probably get by with one convertible pant and gym shorts, two of everything else, socks, underwear and shirts. Currently I'm carrying gym shorts (nice to sleep in), shorts, convertible pants and three of everything...

    No trekking poles in Porto

    I walked the Coastal in April. I was just fine without sticks. I don't feel you need them. I was glad to not have to carry them. 2 years ago on the Norte, I was glad to have them.

    Day 7. Start of the English Way. Train ride to Xubia, near Ferrol. Where my hotel was. The hotel had messaged me they the room was ready and a code for the door. This allowed me to get early, at 1430 and drop my bag. I then walked the 12 k to the docks at Ferrol and then train back to the hotel...

    DAY 6. The best day so far. Great views. The day started with me going to catch the train to Espasante which turned into a bus for whatever reason. Luckily for me to verify that I was supposed to get on the bus. I saw the same two workers from my hotel getting out of the bus. They were on the...

    DAY 4, I stayed at the Hotel O Castelo. I had an OJ and Croissant for breakfast so probably lacking for the energy I would need. The stage started downhill for me. After about 3 miles, I arrived at the coast and did mostly up (around 300 feet) and a little down and back up several times over 2...
