Hello fellow pilgrims,
I believe this will be of interest to those pilgrims living in New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut areas; the Metropolitan Museum of Art is sponsoring a series of lectures on Santiago de Compostela, hope to see you there.

Hola Peregrinos!
On Friday October 9th I walked into the city of Santiago and headed directly to the Oficina de Peregrinos where I noticed some posters of Santiago (medieval reproductions) and the Holy Year, when I inquired about them, I was told they were not for sale and had no idea as to whom...
Just before leaving New York for my Camino ( 9/9/09) I ordered a red and yellow badge, in the center is a yellow scallop shell, written around on top "Camino De Santiago" and written around on the bottom "Camino De Europa" - I tried glueing this badge on a hat, but made a big mess of it when the...

Friday, October 9th I walked in the city of Santiago, received my compostella, and attended the pilgrtim's mass. What a great day!, but I think more importantly were the days that led up to my stumbling into Santiago. Along the way I met some of the nicest folks you could ever meet, people were...

Thank you to the many...

Hello,
Three months ago I sent my membership application with check for membership and a donation to the American Pilgrims on the Camino, so far, I have heard nothing except one email from them that they would "look into this" I never thought there would be a problem.I was promised a credencial...
Hola Everyone!
I just returned from the Tourist Office of Spain here in Manhattan New York and obtained a very nice "Pilgrim's Guide The Road to Santiago" along with separate maps, each one covering the 31 stages of the journey. The book contains practical information such as restaurants...
I came across this website almost two months ago and I can't thank all of you enough who have contributed with your posts, I have learned so much from all of you - muchisimos gracias! My introduction to the camino was while I was a student of medieval studies which was a long time ago, now after...
