    Camino fatigue?

    I didn’t go into the cathedral either, for the first time.

    Memory lane

    My first Camino was 18 years ago this month. My first day was memorable as the hospitalero at SJPP convinced us to cancel our booking at Orrison. I cried every step into Roncesvalles and that walk almost ruined my entire Camino. Since then, I’ve always split it into two days. My 3 favorite...

    I may have broken my leg! Pls help in Pontevedra!!!

    I fell two years ago and went to the Centro de Salud. I had x-rays. I got a bill for €400 later and my insurance covered it completely. Worked great. This year I had a client who developed cellulitis I took him to the centro de salud in Sarria. There a very nice doctor examined him and...

    Beds in First Stage Albergues - Current Situation, late May 2024

    I don’t have to prove anything to you. The proof to me was finding lots of crying people trying to check in at Roncesvalles and offering two girls a bed in my apartment at Beneficiados. And seeing it again in Zubiri. And again as far up as Portomarin. People who want to take a chance will reap...

    What’s the weather forecast

    Yes, I think if you layer, you’ll be fine. It’s not particularly cold right now. I’m in Santiago and the sun is peeking through every now and then. All the locals I have spoken with insist it’s been a crazy Spring with some days 80° and the next day in the 30s. A lot of people are sick. Walking...

    If You Are Sick

    This irritates me - because I have not been able to walk since Puente La Reina because one of my pilgrims, who is a nurse by the way, showed up sick and didn’t tell anybody and wrote the taxi with us to SJPP. She did not wear a mask. As a result, I got sick and two of my pilgrims got sick and...

    What's changed?

    Someone mentioned this morning that they thought the botafumeiro was up and swinging again for Thursday. I am not sure this is true. Does anybody have the scoop?

    What’s the weather forecast

    I don’t know about the forecast, but it has rained every day since we left SJPP and we get into Santiago tomorrow

    Botafumerio out of service

    The scuttlebutt on the Camino is that the botafumeiro will swing at the festival on Thursday. Does anybody know if this is true or not?

    Help! Can't find a bed in Santiago, May 17 and 18, 2024

    If all you can get is a triple then book a triple and sell the beds to other pilgrims who are in your situation.

    Help! Hospital/Doctor Sarria

    I realize this is an old thread, but one of my pilgrims looks like he’s developed cellulitis and I need to get him to a doctor in Sarria. Is this place still open and is Centro de Salud where I should start?

    Pork in Spain

    Whatever. We had delicious pork chops at the green corner in Leon. I wouldn’t call it particularly upscale.

    Pork in Spain

    I wasn’t sure where to post this so mods feel free to move it. This year I’ve had more than one person in my group complain because the pork they ordered was “raw” and they have sent it back to be cooked to well done. This is a leftover in the United States from our parents’ and grandparents’...
