Hi everyone. I finished the Camino Frances in November and now I am planning to walk from Porto to Santiago next year. Can anyone tell me if I receive a certificate for the Camino Portugues in Santiago? Also, can I buy a passport online before I go?
Hi all. I recently walked the Camino de Santiago finishing at the end of November 2015. Now I am planning another one in September this year but can't decide between Camino Portuguese from Lisbon to Santiago via the coastal route or Camino Le Puy. If there are people on this forum who have...
Hi all. I recently finished the Camino starting In SJPDP and finishing in Santiago and am now considering walking from Lisbon to Santiago. Is it as easy to find accommodation in albergues on this route as it was on the Camino de Santiago?
Hi all. Does anyone know if there's a website with the timetable for the bus from Biarittz airport to Bayonne train station. We arrive from Paris at 10am on 28October and there's a train from Bayonne at 11.10am. Would we have enough time to collect checked in backpacks and catch the in time for...
I have been trying to purchase Permethrin spray to treat our sleeping bags and some clothing. I have tried pharmacies, supermarkets, hardware stores and camping stores but none of them in my stock it. Does anyone know if I can buy some on the Camino if I need it? We will be walking late October...

Does anyone know if there are buses from Biarritz or Bayonne to St Jean Pied de Port? I know I could catch a train but I've checked the timetables and it seems that we'll have a few hours wait between when our flight arrives and when the train departs. If I had a choice I would prefer a bus...
I have recently seen pictures of leather wristbands with a metal shell. Does anyone know where I can buy these? Is there places on the Camino that sell these and other Camino items. I would love to have some type of souvinir from my Camino in November.
This may seem a trivial subject to some but I was hoping if anyone had any past experience with money belts for carrying cash and documents? Is it a waste of time buying a cheap one on ebay or spending the extra for a better quality? Or are they all the same no matter how much you spend? Thanks...
Hi all. my wife and I will be walking from late October until the end of November. Will we need sleeping bags or will blankets be supplied? We want to carry as little as possible. Also, we have 32 days to complete our Camino starting at SJDP as we have a flight booked to Madrid on December 1. We...
