    Dublin to Leon

    Ah ok. There are two options from Leon. You can walk the Salvador(stunning) to Oviedo which is a 5/6 day Camino and very quiet or continue on the French way. My only reservation was when I went through Madrid I found it so crazy busy. I have travelled before from Santander to Oviedo and Gijon by...

    Dublin to Leon

    Hi. I went Dublin to Madrid and bus to Leon but I think Santander is easier to navigate to Oviedo. You can actually get First Class on the some of the buses for relatively cheap which makes the journey more pleasant. I found Madrid Airport and train station overwhelming. Best of luck. Are you...

    Accommodation in Oviedo

    Hi. Yes when I stayed at the municipal I was at the beginning of the queue. After being checked in I went to supermercado stopping for coffee and pastry. When I returned the line had barely moved. It was a bit surreal yet the patience of the pilgrim is something to behold because that young guy...

    Can I Walk the Camino Without a Smartphone?

    Hi. We met a wonderful young man from Germany who wanted to leave everything behind when he walked the Camino Norte in 2018. He was 20th of age and didn't bring his phone from home. He even had his boarding pass for return flight printed to avoid use of phone. We all had so much respect for him...

    Then Labruge to Vila do conde. You can stay in Vila do Conde or Povor continue straight to the central route in one day. That's really the only option for crossing over to the central unless you keep on the coast until Caminha. Hiya That's usually the first stage then day 2 you can walk to...

    The fact I started this thread and weather was not the main question is kinda funny considering I'm walking currently in 31 Celsius on the Portuguese below Porto. Crazy hot.

    Solo on Camino Portuguese--Costal & Spiritual Routes

    Hi. With regard to Caminha and then Valenca it's very straightforward and stay this Portugal side of river. There is a hostel/albergue along this route about 5kms out with private rooms. This will still leave another 25km walk to Valenca the following day. I've done it so the kms are fairly...

    Portuguese Central Day 1 Very Few Pilgrims

    Hi. Similar to yourself in May I didn't even try to book Casa da Laura because I assumed it would be full. I met pilgrims later who said it was half empty but the Monasterio that people mentioned was full. By Ponte de Lima you will be on a different camino. Enjoy. Daniel P.s if possible stay at...

    Porto Hostel/ albergue with pilgrim dinner

    Yes those unplanned are so wonderful. On the way to Caldas de rei I read about some cascades a bit off Camino and followed them all the way up. Sat at the top and had my lunch with a family of geese. P.s If ye do get to Caldas and have time there is also a beautiful river walk that ends up at a...

    Porto Hostel/ albergue with pilgrim dinner

    Hiya. I'm not sure if you intend to walk the central or coastal route. I have done nearly all these routes on more than one occasion. I do believe your initial question was with regard to communal dinner at the beginning and if not then en route. I've yet to find a communal dinner in any of the...

    Thank you so much for your sharing the experience. Must definitely prepare for the 30 km day. I can manage those distances and more every few days but over hills and mountains just adds to the endurance. That's good to know. Daniel
