With thanks to our beautiful Camino friend and fellow Forum member @OzAnnie for thinking of the idea, here’s a thread in which a lot of us might be prepared to share details of our ‘secret’ Santiago - ie those gems in Santiago which aren’t widely known about.

Over the past weeks, out walking in our sleepy South Coast, New South Wales town of Culburra Beach, my thoughts inevitably turned to the Camino and in particular to the countless wonderful experiences I’ve had whilst on camino.
Many experiences came to mind, so I examined those experiences in...

This week’s interview is an absolute cracker. He interviews Australian pilgrim, film producer and storyteller Jennifer Cluff. Jennifer shares her great wisdom, her common sense...
If anyone sees Rudi, a Belgian pilgrim walking with his beautiful Arabian mare Kyra, could they please pass on some information on where to tether Kyra overnight whilst on the Meseta. The information has kindly been given to me by Rebekah Scott - my thanks to Rebekah for the information...

My question is, I'd love to know the names and addresses of the lesser-known restaurant/bar locations which were featured in "The Way"... for example, the bar in the first part of...

Does anyone find that when you re-read a Camino memoir years after you first read it, unexpected gems appear ... gems that you missed the first time you read it?
I read Tim Moore's book "Spanish Steps" years before my Camino in 2012. It was borrowed from my local library and I enjoyed the book...
Hi everyone -

The fireworks earlier this evening in Santiago to celebrate the Feast of St James were spectacular. I joined a huge crowd in Rua de San Clemente, about 100 metres from the Cathedral, to view the fireworks.
