    Music that goes through your head on the Camino

    So funny to read about the diverse music going through everyone's heads. I had a few songs that keep rotating through my head too. "Amazing Grace", "She'll be coming 'round the Mountain", "Country Roads" (by John Denver), and the worst - "99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer....

    The best dayś walk I have ever had on the Camino

    Glad to hear that you all found this stretch of the Camino so special to walk. I live about an hour south of Finisterre. A group from my town has started tackling the Camino little by little, as many of us have time constraints and physical reasons we can't do it all at once. Thus far, we...

    What is the one albergue you would avoid?

    Our group stayed at the Aitzenea Albergue in Triacastela, Lugo, this past weekend. I would very much recommend that everyone avoid it if possible. Prior to our trip, I looked up albergues on-line and found a site that had photos of this albergue and many positive reviews (30 out 32 reviews...

    Doing The Camino Backwards...

    Hi all. I'm an American of Spanish descent now living in Galicia (1/2 hour from Santiago de Compostela right on the coast). Last year, our town organized a walk from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. Twenty-two of us completed the five-day walk and got our Compostelas. We also got hooked on...
