    Sellos... More important than certificates

    I had my credential photocopied on both sides and then framed. The advantage of this is that I could still keep the original. I also had my certificates framed and have hung them next to the credential. I did post a photo on here some years ago.

    Botafumeiro

    I've seen the Botufumeira a few times but never as clearly as that. Well done & thank you for sharing.

    New detailed daily arrival statistics from Solviturambulando

    It's possible that with today's fast-paced life people can't take four or five weeks off to complete the longer Caminos and so opt for a one week event. The certificate's the same. I had to wait thirty years for the opportunity to walk the CF as I just couldn't manage a month away.

    Santiago cake

    Documenting the Journey

    I marched the French Camino in 2013, after retiring for the third time. My family and pals asked me to keep a diary and share it en route. I bought an Ipad and found a programme called Wordpress which suited me as a novice technotype. I wrote it daily as a Word doc at lunchtime in bars and in...

    Has anyone started the Ingles route in your own country?

    Hola! My wife and I walked the English Camino in 2013. We were advised to start in Ferrol and not A Coruña as the distance from the latter was too short. It's not far from Ferrol to A Coruña. We both received our certificates. Bill & Eva
