The next letter on the “Towns Along the Way” series is “E”, as there are no towns starting with “D” (I dare you to look!). There aren’t too many so here goes…working towards Santiago. Espinal (map) Espinal is a typical Basque village and one of the first you will encounter after leaving Roncesvalles. At this …
And just to finish off my few posts from my Camino in May, I want to briefly talk about where I stayed during those few days I walked from Ferrol to Santiago and out to Finisterre. This May, I walked with my brother so we decided to mix it up a bit and stay in …

So I have been walking bits and pieces of the Camino Frances from St. Jean Pied de Port to Finisterre since 2011. I have been lucky enough to see Santiago a number of times. Some of the accommodation I have stayed in has been great, some not so good. But as a pilgrim, you ask …

Well, it's not long before this Irishman finds himself back on the Camino trail. I will pick up where I left off last September and will walk for two weeks. The fortnight is going to be relaxed, it's going to be enjoyable and fingers crossed I meet some good friends like I have done since …
Picture the scene. I had walked 25km on a super-hot day from O Cebreiro to Triacastela. It was June 2012 and it was my penultimate day before I made my way home. Myself and my German friend, Sabine, arrived in Triacastela pretty late and most of the albergues were full up. We were walking in …
Throughout my past Caminos, I've stayed in mostly great Albergues, some average, but I've had no complaints. Here is a map I have created of all of the places I have stayed. During my first Camino in 2011, I stayed in pensions just in case you are wondering about the lack of albergues 🙂 This …
I have created a google map of all the albergues between St Jean to Belorado. I'll be using this in May instead of a manual. Wifi can be plentiful and you are saving yourself a little weight by not bringing a book with you. Feel free to make use of it if you like
Albergues I have stayed in... I have drawn up a map of the albergues I have stayed in during my previous three caminos. Some pensions, some private albergues but all enjoyable.
A week to go before I head off on my return to the Camino but before then, I just want to write a bit about something that's on my mind of late. This post might ruffle a few feathers but it's a free world, etc etc. I just want to back track to 2011 when …
Drowning in the busyness of life, and how I stay afloat, and find peace and stillness amidst the chaos
With my new novel Lost in the Fog to-be published September 21, 2020, last fall I embarked on a four month trip to France, Spain, Portugal, and the Caribbean. The main reason for the journey was to hike the Camino de Santiago, a 550 mile pilgrimage. With this blog, I am excerpting from the journal I kept.
