Time of past OR future Camino
I'm planning to walk the camino in June!
I'm at Portomarin tonight and was wondering if I should get up early to detour tomorrow to Vilar de Donas?
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Note: church does not open until 11 but sometimes the caretaker comes by to see if people are around. Definitely worth the detour as it is probably the most interesting church on the Camino - up there with Eunate
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I took your advise and Walked the extra miles, and you were correct it was worth ever steps and the blister! Truly amazing I just wish more pilgrims went! I think near needs to be a bigger sign or something?
 
Re: Should I Detour to Vilar de Donas?

Jackberry, good on you.

The depiction of the crucified Christ, not as a remote deity but as a hurt and bewildered man brought me to my knees. My stoic agnosticism took a solid kicking that morning.

May every next mile bring you further joy (and no more blisters)

Buen camino
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
