I did it in November 2022. I got as far as Portilla de la Reina. It was no longer safe due to weather to move forward. There were no buses, I had to get a cab from Potes to pick me up and take me down to S. Vicente (250.00€). The buses from Potes to Espinama stop operating at the eve of...
Last I heard, he was taking a group of people "as a guide"(for a fee) on the camino.
He was planning a Camino in Japan, and was going to use a regular scooter (not an electric one).

Rosemary314,
The temperatures were cool in the morning and evenings, but wonderful walking weather. We only walk in late winter or early fall.
Buen Camino!!!

You are correct!! We have become friends since 2015. He is an incredible gentleman. I try to meet with him every year when I am in Santiago.
I think everyone that worked so hard to get this Camino de Invierno moving ahead is very happy with the progress.
Hi there,
I just wanted to mention there is a wonderful guide, published locally by a well known gentleman. He has been promoting the Camino de invierno even before it was popular. His name is Jose Rua Perez, his guide are in both languages(Spanish/English). When you purchase his guide, you...
I have done he French Camino from SJPD 4 times, and NEVER skipped the Albergue in Roncesvalles. For me, it sets the beginning of a great experience. This place brings a lot of new experiences, a los of hope, for the people starting the Camino Frances. You will begin with a group of people...
Thanks for the reply Harminia. I am supposed to be in Potes on the 21, and leaving for Espinama on the 22.
Maybe we will see each other.
Either way, have an awesome time, and Buen Camino!!!!
Texasguy!!
Hi there, I just wanted to check with you. I will be starting the Lebaniego on October 19. I was trying to find out, if anyone else is walking this camino in October.
Have fun, and Buen Camino!!!

I did the El Salvador last June. It was beautiful and with very few peregrinos. The accommodations were a little scarce, but it was doable.
You will be fine.
The Primitivo this year in conjunction with the El Salvador, but we did not hurry on the primitivo, and my goal was to do Hospitales...
You are correct!!
I came in with American Airlines in June, for the Camino Primitivo, and I had a separate reservation on Iberia to Oviedo.
I picked up my luggage, exit the airport, re-checked in Iberia, got my boarding pass, and I went to the gate.
It was very fast.
I am off to the Camino...
Hello everyone,
On day 2 on Camino del Salvador.
I was able to find lodging in La Robla. I will post a couple of updates later on. 8 peregrinos started from Leon, only 2 finished yesterday. Another peregrino from Canarias and me. There was a problem with the fountains on the mountain and we did...
Thank you so much Lori.
I just spoke to some Peregrinos today, they walked up to La Robla, and took a taxi back to Albergue San Francisco, they will taxi again tomorrow. Also apparently, el embrujo is also full for tomorrow.
Exiting times on the Camino. I guess, if I learned something after...
Thanks for the response. Fully booked. I am engaging in conversations directly with them just in case. I have been looking to the towns before, and after.... everything full. I have tried, Agoda, Travelocity, booking.com, hotels.com, kayak.com, trivago.com. I am starting to feel like a...
Good afternoon Peregrino(a)s,
I am starting the Camino del Salvador on Friday, August 13. I am in need of a place to stay on the evening of the 13 in La Robla. I have looked and try everywhere, and so far no luck. If anyone who has a room somewhere, wants to share, we can split. I am covered...
Sounds great. I think I will go the same. I will fly from the US on the 11th, and hopefully will be in Leon on the 13th.
Look forward to seen you on the trail.
