    For Sale/Wanted Two Altus ponchos (unused) for sale

    It has been a long time since I have been on this board... so please gently correct me if I am not supposed to post items for sale. My husband I walked the Camino a few years ago and were lucky enough not to encounter any significant rain. We now are retiring/moving/downsizing and my husband was...

    Favorite private accommodation between Sarria and Santiago

    LOL! I read your response to my husband & he responded... "Enjoyable? Shortcut? Wasn't that the never-ending UPHILL trudge?" Actually, I loved this location! Like you already mentioned, it makes a wonderful last day! We were in Santiago in plenty of time to chose our seat for the noon Mass. I...

    Favorite private accommodation between Sarria and Santiago

    Yes CaptBuddy! My friends stayed at Pazo de Santa Maria in Arzua and by their description it was excellent, a much better choice than Hotel Suiza! It was a bit off the Camino, but worth it! While I am at it, they also highly recommended O Muino de Pena in O Pino... HOWEVER... My husband & I...

    The Corazón Puro now open!!!!!

    Barbara and István are experienced pilgrims offering a brilliant service on the Camino! My husband and I enjoyed their service last year. István picked us up at the bus station (he was there when he said he would be... without a problem) and from there he transported us back to the pension...

    Kansas Priest on Camino August 2013

    My favorite Fr. Lawrence memory was in Villafranca del Bierzo... We were across the street from the castle and we were having a small refreshment break while sitting on a wall. I got up to stretch my legs and get my bearings and when I turned back towards the wall I found both Fr. Lawrence & my...

    Kansas Priest on Camino August 2013

    I had the pleasure of a few interesting conversations with Fr. Lawrence as we walked, (we happened to be walking the same stretch at the same time on several different days). He really made you think! He was very 'old school', just like my priest here at home! I'm glad I met him. My knowledge...

    Kansas Priest on Camino August 2013

    That is father Laurence... I don't know what you meant about an altar boy ... But I saw him several times along the way and the last time I saw him was in Santiago, he shaved his beard.

    Are there options on the Camino instead of the shared accomodation?

    I did the Camino in September 2013. Some places I dropped in, most I booked a day or two in advance. The last 100km was packed with pilgrims... I ended up booking all those days a week in advance.

    Backpacks and poles = check or carry on?

    I almost hate answering, for a forum that includes religious pilgrims I am amazed at how easily offended people get. I have travelled quite a bit in my time and the last decade's trips involved a lot of hiking. Due to depth perception problems, I depend a lot on my hiking poles. In MY own...

    Backpacks and poles = check or carry on?

    My husband & I did the Camino in Sept.2013, we were worried about checking & having our our luggage lost. We were worried about our backpacks fitting in the overhead $ security nabbing our expensive & beloved Leki poles. One of my fears about checking our bag was the backpack straps &...
