    Are passport copies accepted at albergues?

    On my CF and CP Caminos I always presented a laminated copy of my passport. I was never asked for my original.

    Looking for advice walking from Lisboa

    We stayed in Largo de Se Guest House. Recommended and close to the cathedral and also the “official” starting point in Lisbon.

    Starting in O Porriño

    Any facility in O Porrino is fine that has a stamp. Cafe, bar etc. There is no particular starting point.

    Train Discounts over 60s

    I bought one for 6 euros mid March. Saved me a fortune as I used the train from Malaga, Granada, Cordoba, Seville, Toledo and Madrid.

    Wisepilgrim app

    I found that distances between stages on apps were generally a 1-2 km less when compared with distance measured on my Garmin/strava. I wouldn’t get too fussed about it. It can often be a few Km from one side of town to the other.

    Break O’Cebreiro climb

    I stayed in the Casa and had a great stay. The young women who served us were great. I wouldn’t be dissuading people from staying there just because a couple were having sex the night you happened to be there. That could happen anywhere.😄

    Growing numbers on the Camino Portugues - newspaper article

    Are you doing this section again ? Was it about 7 years ago you walked from Lisbon? I enjoyed your Camino Portuguese blog very much especially the days from Lisbon.

    Return journey from Santiago to the north east of England

    I believe Ryanair pulled out from the Santiago to Edinburgh route only recently 😔. It was my most convenient return to Glasgow.

    If you can access this film, please try to do so!

    Watched it last night. Free to view on Freevee. Great film and a great bunch of guys.

    Water, water...

    1 Litre water is enough for me. A swig every km if I need to conserve, usually not very often.

    Madrid City Walks

    Get a city map and walk the perimeter of Madrid or as much as you are comfortable with. On our recent 3 day break in Madrid we walked the west half and the following day we walked the eastern half. Taking in most of the sights.

    Anyone know if the CdN has its “own” passport?

    Ordering beer in Spain

    Both are standard. The cana is about 200ml and the copa is about 300-330 ml size. I think if you just asked for a cerveza you might get the smaller size. Note the different info in post above. I was told the information I have given by a barman in a small bar.

    Ordering beer in Spain

    I’m just back after 18 nights in 6 Spanish cities. My ordering of a beer was simply a “copa cerveza”. I would say this was regular size, a cana was a small beer.

    Camino Del Norte - April 2024

    You could bus into Bayonne for accommodation and start the Camino from the Cathedral with requisite Credencial stamp. I will do this in September

    These dog owners should face consequences if their dogs are unleashed and attack people. Mention it to local police.

    Lisbon recommendations for the first night stay.

    We stayed at the Largo da Sé Guest House for two nights last April prior to starting our Camino. Good location down from the Cathedral and reasonable cost.
