I've begun to look at what I would want for me. I've budgeted to stay...

So what are the guidelines on a trail of this nature which permit Pilgrims to be independent of available housing be at a...

    Camping stove, Trangia

    Hello! Currently cycling the Norte. I brought my Trangia for cooking when camping or when the Albergues dont have a kitchen. I prefer to eat vegan so value the dietary autonomy this option gives me, however I’ve reached a conundrum. We are obviously still in wild fire peak times so I feel...

    Camping

    Bivvy bag or not?

    hello everyone, What do people think of bringing a bivvy bag on Camino ? As a just incase it’s full at the albergue? Also for easing that anxiety/must get up at 5am feel to race to albergue.

    I am setting off on VDLP beginning of March. Due to covid pandemic I have had ample time to obsess about my kit and have been shaving the weight of my pack as departure approaches. Am down to 8kg in a 36ltr pack with water. Am I daft to ditch my tent on this route? I could take a poncho/tarp...

    Camping failures live from Salvador/Primitivo

    Thought people here might be interested in my attempts to do these caminos together, with a tent in my pack for emergencies. I was especially anticipating needing it on the Salvador which has many municipal albergues still closed. La Robla looked from the start a bad bet. The situation where...

    This ONE SIMPLE TRICK ensures that you can, indeed, camp the Camino del Norte

    Just a quick note to my fellow tent-livers as this was something I was super curious about prior to starting my trip.

    Hello, I am thinking of doing the Via Gebennensis starting late August. I'm interested in doing some camping but don't know if I want to risk bivouac. Are there any nice campgrounds along the way, or gites that allow you to camp in the garden?
