    illustrated Camino diary

    Thank you! And yes, ha ha! Even the people around me watching me sketch found it difficult to believe I was doing it! Once I started, I realised I was feeling so much better being able to process the day's big emotions/thoughts on paper, so I kept going. I didn't want to feel obligated at all...

    illustrated Camino diary

    Thank you so much! This was a real JOURNEY journey, if that makes sense. On Day 1, I was hugely mad at my former self for thinking this had ever been a good idea (I was in a lot of pain). But through the ups and downs, it changed into something else. I didn't know at the time, of course, as I...

    illustrated Camino diary

    Thank you so much! There were many lovely people I met on the Camino and had the benefit of painting. It's difficult to distill each meeting down to a few lines, but it's also nice to commemorate something I took away from each person. :)

    illustrated Camino diary

    Hi everyone, I walked the Francés for the first time in May 2022. I asked this forum a lot of questions before I went – I couldn’t have done it without your help! I kept a watercolour sketchbook diary throughout, not intending to publish it but, well, here I am. I’m sharing some pages from the...

    Weather on Camino Frances May/June

    Hi, I walked the CP in early May to early June 2022, and again from end May to mid July 2023 (up to Muxia and Finisterre). Both times, I got mild rain (and largely in Galicia). Nothing that stopped me. I was surprised by the cold, though. For the first few weeks, even in early June, I needed a...

    Altra trail shoes versus hiking shoes

    Hi, j just finished walking from SJPdP to Finisterre via Muxía in my Altra Timp 4. I wore an identical pair on last year’s Francés so got a brand new pair and wore them only a few days before starting this one without any problems. Two issues to watch out for: the Timp 4 has an oddly...

    28L pack on the Camino Frances this October

    I did the camino this past May with a 24L Osprey Talon backpack (it's sold as 26L but the S/M size has 24L capacity). I was nervous too, and also feel the cold! I needed my fleece every morning when I set out but after half an hour, it was tied around my waist, so this was almost never packed...

    Urgently need dentist in Sarria!

    Thank you so much! My pension-albergue in Sarria (puente ribeira) called every dentist in town for me! As soon as I arrived today, he told me to go to this place nearby. I went there and they were able to squeeze me in and fix my tooth 😀 Here’s the place if anyone needs a dentist in Sarria...

    Urgently need dentist in Sarria!

    I called the number but they’re completely booked. I asked the hotel where I’ll be staying if they could help and they very kindly called round to everyone but nobody has a slot for tomorrow and they don’t work Saturdays 😔 I can hope the tooth holds on long enough for Santiago and see if I can...

    Urgently need dentist in Sarria!

    Hi all, I’m in Samos today, reaching Sarria tomorrow (will be there Friday and Saturday). A front tooth cap/crown has come loose! Could anyone please let me know how I can find a (ideally English speaking) dentist in Sarria? When I needed a physiotherapist in Logrono, I had to wait a day so...
