    The Mercado for cheeses, if traveling to the USA you are not allowed to bring in meat products or fruit. They will be confiscated, cheese is ok.

    Coastal or Central

    I think going from Porto on either route you chose you may need a few more days. Unless you skip some areas or plan doing around 30-35km per day.

    JUNE 2023 northern : San Sebastián to Bilbao

    I am planning that same route but I'd go early late March early April. I know there won't be many folks out there. Kinda lonely but I like it that way and I know there will be others. I did from Aviles to Santiago in March 2019 and it was nice only one cold rainy day.

    Walking solo and not wanting to get lost!

    You won’t get lost on central route. Even if you do you’ll get back on track without a major delay. I got lost once at the end but a jogger came by and put us right back on it. We actually were on the original route from years ago he told us but it had been changed to what it is today.

    Women be aware of Miguel at San Nicolas de Puente Fitero

    Miguel Miguel needs a good smack, he’s giving us guys over 70 a bad rap.

    Best way out of Porto for the central route

    Lynne, Take the 500 bus from the stop next to the Catheral in Porto to Masintos To avoid traffic. Then start your walk along the coast to Vila do Condo. After that head to Barcellos and follow that route all the way to the border at Tui. Bierly has a good guide that lays it out along with the...

    LIVE from the Camino @JohnLloyd on the Inglés

    John, I must say your journey pretty much parallels mine which started on Feb. 25th. I got started around 2:15PM walking out of town. It took me an hour to fine the starting point. I walked to Nedra only to find the albergue closed then walked back to the same Hotel Kensington for the night...

    Bus from Madrid to Ponferrada

    Maybe try getting to Monte de Lemos by train and bus from there. I think there are other possibilities by train that get you close.

    Walking poles on flight

    Well as a frugal pilgrim I have always preferred a walking stick I found along the way. I have seen many elderly Spanish residents walking along with them so I gave it a try. Works for me and I avoid airline hassles.

    February Camino

    No there will be others but some of the albergues may be closed. It’s a good time to go not crowded and it may be cool but ok. I usually go in early March and enjoy it. I’d allow 45 days which is about 20km per day or 12 miles. Take more time if you want to do less miles/day. My last Camino was...

    Camino Inglés in February 2022

    Was it 2018? I was the CP that year and rained everyday downpours at times and some sleet. But it still was all good anyway. I’ll be there towards the end of February starting from Ribadeo To Ferrol and onto Santiago.

    Suggestions for Lightening my Backpack for a 6-day Camino Walk

    Hmm, since your walking the end of May I’d scrap the quilt, and pillow. Use a liner or a really light blanket. If your cold albergues and pensions have blankets you can use even pillows sometimes. also roll your clothes or jacket for a pillow. That saves you 1.5lbs and maybe the water bottles...

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    If you hear anything please pass it on to me. I’m thinking of doing the Ruta do Mar myself or if possible the Primitivo in March around the 8th. Thanks.

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    I really would like to know how th Ruta do Mar works out for you. I’m planning to do the Primitivo in March but if weather doesn’t cooperate I’ll do the Mar to Ingles. I think I’ll be happy either way. I’m 75 now and flexible as to doing any route I can finish 15-17 days which leaves me time to...

    Central route start from Porto

    You can take the 500 bus from Porto to Matosinhos to bypass the traffic. The bus stop is close to the Cathedral. From there just follow the coast go over the bridge and back to the coast and follow to Vila do Conde. Now from that point chose the costa or central. I did the central had a...
