O Cebreiro is one of the most iconic places on the Camino Frances.except O Cebreiro to Santigago - and I dont even know where that is....
If you look at the Mochilla service offered it comes under the Frances from Palencia just because you havent seen it doesnt mean it doesnt exist
O Cebreiro is one of the most iconic places on the Camino Frances.
As I have no interest in luggage transport services I have no knowledge of whether such a service exists from Palencia or not. That was not my point. You stated that Palencia "its part of the camino Frances goes down or up to Palenica and then to Fromista through Carrion...... " That is factually incorrect. The Camino Frances runs from Castrojeriz to Fromista and then to Carrion de los Condes without ever passing through the town of Palencia. You may have been misled by the Correos website and confused the town of Palencia with the province of the same name.
O Cebreiro is the first village within Galicia on the Camino Frances. It is accessible by Alsa coach from Madrid or Ponferrada by travelling to the nearby village of Piedrafita do Cebreiro and walking from there. You have narrowed your options a great deal by insisting upon luggage transfer services and booking your journey in the winter off-season. I think you are correct when you say that the only such service available will be with Correos from O Cebreiro westwards. Although you are anxious because little accommodation appears as available on booking.com I think it unlikely that you will find the albergues full at that time of year. If you do decide to walk from O Cebreiro or some point westwards in March I think you will find beds are available. If you decide not to continue with this planned camino and make an attempt at another time then I would suggest that you confirm the availability of luggage transfers before you make travel arrangements if they are vital to you.
Palencia is on the Camino Madrid, not the Frances. Use Google Earth...
but you being trained in the army could carry my loadPalencia is on the Camino Madrid, not the Frances. Use Google Earth...
Because not many walk that way. Forget Palencia.it comes under Frances though for some reason hence my reference to it ( that and the mochilla services dont have a Madrid camino listed on their sites )
Wet socks are sticky. No further details.but you being trained in the army could carry my load
I was interested as well how you kept the socks in place under your armpits....
isint O cebreiro rather cold and snowy at the end of March ? (21st)As I have no interest in luggage transport services I have no knowledge of whether such a service exists from Palencia or not.

No chance. This is not a holiday. It is a pilgrimage. You are supposed to be suffering.but you being trained in the army could carry my load
Maybe. Maybe not. Depends on the weather that year!isint O cebreiro rather cold and snowy at the end of March ? (21st)
Palencia does exist, yes, but what I and @Bradypus are trying to tell you is that the TOWN Palencia is not ON Camino Frances.If you look at the Mochilla service offered it comes under the Frances from Palencia just because you havent seen it doesnt mean it doesnt exist
Alex, you're wrong too. Palencia isn't on any Camino. The town of Palencia!Palencia is on the Camino Madrid, not the Frances. Use Google Earth...
No chance. This is not a holiday. It is a pilgrimage. You are supposed to be suffering.
Palencia does exist, yes, but what I and @Bradypus are trying to tell you is that the TOWN Palencia is not ON Camino Frances.
BUT Camino Frances goes THROUGH Autonomous Province of Palencia (part of Castilla y Leon), that is true
Through the years I have seen many wrecks after the first days on the Camino. Funnily enough, many young people; oldtimers are just going by with ease. I believe this old man will pass you on the first day: Done it before, many times.No you can suffer It will pain me to watch you
@sunshines, we know Palencia exists, some of us have even been there, it just isn’t on the Camino francés, as @Bradypus pointed outIf you look at the Mochilla service offered it comes under the Frances from Palencia just because you havent seen it doesnt mean it doesnt exist
Funny, those conversations with @sunshinesI know its not on the list but one site I think wanted to determine the route in stages of Frances so that stage was marked Palencia and yes it doesnt go through there
If you look at the Mochilla service offered it comes under the Frances from Palencia just because you havent seen it doesnt mean it doesnt exist
Very true. I wonder if they'll update all the maps to show it has now moved North 20 kms to be on the Frances?
A new town to visit!
Thank you.only from Ourense
Thanks for the advice. Sounds good to me. I love researching Caminos.Mate, if you thought the CF section was hot, boring, no trees etc then the Vdlp is not for you! The good news is that there are lots of ways to Santiago and half the fun is researching a route that suits you.
Huh?Going for long recreational walks in Spain is not a basic human right. It is most certainly not fair that we can do it at all, and most of the world cannot.
The Caminos do not provide that service. Individual entrepreneurs do, when it is fair to them.
Those taxis already exist. Do you just want them at a price that is not fair to the driver?
12 weeks minus one day to go now I am all sorted ....Through the years I have seen many wrecks after the first days on the Camino. Funnily enough, many young people; oldtimers are just going by with ease. I believe this old man will pass you on the first day: Done it before, many times."It will pain me to watch you " I don't think so. But I am one of those who will be there to help ease your pains.
On a serious note: You really need to know where you are going; stages; places, contour, etc.
You should start your own thread rather than tagging on to old unrelated threads.11 weeks 6 days to go.... all sorted anyone who will be walking that way (Sarria to Santiago route) and wants to do a few kms at snails pace with me give me a shout.....
You should start your own thread rather than tagging on to old unrelated threads.
To be fair @sunshines did start this thread quite some time ago - though the original topic does seem to have got a little lost along the way....
Oops! Sorry! I didn't realize that this thread was started by @sunshinesYou should start your own thread rather than tagging on to old unrelated threads.
I wonder if and how we could start a campaign to get the mochilla (backpack) forwarding service up and running from the beginning of the Sevilla road up to Ourense . It might be a good littler earner for a small private individual with a car or small van at their disposal. the Ourense people said it is not logistical. can we start a petition or put posters up at the beginning of every town or in every bar....I m sure that is how these other forwarding services started. Its kind of making me doubtful because my problem is knees and back .... (strain on the knees because of weight on the back) .. I wouldnt mind a sherpa but that would cost a pretty penny. it is a big stretch of road though but what about the bus service or the local bus service I wonder... Should we put our heads together????
