    Pilgrims from Australia and the wonderful New Zealand

    It runs from Loyola in the Basque country to Manresa in Catalina. Crosses the Frances at Navarette and Logroño. https://ignatiancamino.com/about-the-ignatian-camino/

    Pilgrims from Australia and the wonderful New Zealand

    I've done 4 caminos (including the Ignaciano in Spain) Despite the initial cost of flights, I still find those trips far cheaper and have so much more worth than any other holidays I look at in Australia or NZ.

    English speaking pilgrims

    A few years ago on arrival at Barcelona airport, I went to enquire where to get the train into city. Being in Spain I asked in Spanish. The girl in the information booth replied very rapidly, so I asked if she could speak a little slower. She responded by saying "if you don't know the language...

    The queues in Santiago

    I have walked from SJPdP twice and once from Porto, with my best friend/camino buddy. Last year I was going to have a holiday in Spain and planned to walk the last 100 or so from Vigo alone. Why! Because I wanted to know what it felt like to do the last 100; because I would be proud of myself...

    Music for the Camino

    Love her voice and she enunciates clearly enough so even I can understand.

    New moderators / staff members

    Although I don't post much at all, I've been a member of the forum for 7 years or more. Still I have the tag "new member". I guess it's one way of not getting old

    Suggestions for 10 days

    The Spiritual Variant of the Portuguese route is stunning. I could definitely do this section again along with the walk out to Finisterre. Just talking about it yesterday with my walking buddy.

    Pilgrim office statistics

    I did a stint in the office in 2017 and am considering doing it again. I would gladly spend time just doing the data entry to speed things up, however it could be difficult. Other people's writing can be tricky to read sometimes. They might use words in their own language. Eg occupations. Some...

    I'm a sandal convert!

    I like walking in my Eco sandals, but still find I am bothered by grit that gets in under my foot. How do you cope with the more closed in sandals?

    Last Bed in the Albergue

    In 2014 my 2 friends and I were planning to stay at the albergue in Villatuerta. When we got there, we noted a definite coolness on the part the the hospitalera who said she would have to open the second floor. Another family group of 4 Americans were told that it was much nicer in Estella-...

    Portuguese Coastal

    Two South Aussies, myself Pam and my friend Pat, starting our 3rd Camino from Porto on May 7th. We're Slow Strollers and are taking it easy for the first few days. Hope to see you on the way or even somewhere along the path to Finisterre.

    A positive Spanish music thread

    Carlos Nunez, a fabulous Galician musician. Writes a lot of stuff himself, including this one. Camino de Santiago.

    The need for connection

    I walked the Camino Frances in 2011 and 2014 and my thoughts constantly go back to those times: the walking, the scenery, the people and the new friends I made. This year I walked the Camino Ignaciano with 2 friends, but we only saw 2 others who were walking the route and we enjoyed a week or...

    checking backpack

    Thanks for that. More food for thought. I found with my WBA that I was drenched under my poncho (altus) because I had no ventilation between my pack and my back, whereas my walking partner did not experience this. And I am not normally a hot body person. I like the idea of a sleeping bag...

    checking backpack

    I'm considering buying a new pack. I've used Oneplanet WBA on my last 2 caminos, which has a fantastic harness, but I want a bit more versatility with packing. How did you find the Osprey Airspeed harness compared to the AG?

    Too Early to Feel Excited?

    What is normal? I walked for the second time last year and want to walk again, but have no immediate plans. Still I look at backpacks and stuff, even though I have all I need; and I often think about what clothing and equipment etc I would change next time.

    Camino Frances conditions in September

    We did the Camino through Sept /October in 2011. The weather was fantastic. On the one day we took out our ponchos, we put them away 5 minutes later. We go again this year starting on Sept 10. I expect rain. That way I am prepared and pleasantly surprised if it doesn't eventuate. Our days were...

    Hi all .... I'm a first timer

    Hi Trisha, it'll be a wonderful experience for you. A f riend and I did it in 2011. We made a wonderful friend from Canada on the way and the 3 of us will be walking together again in September 2014. My friend Pat and I are from Adelaide, South Australia.
