    If you dug a tunnel through the planet from Santiago

    @VNwalking I entered my hometown of Coromandel and ended up in Puerto De La Torre, apparently a stop on the Malaga Mozarabe Camino. And of course now I will need to walk it! @David , thanks! This was fun.

    Immersion Spanish Schools in Spain

    Hola! I do plan to go and spend a week or two with them if I can. I am not interested in doing the Camino experience with them but that was only one thing that they offered. There is a lot more to the school than that and I would quite like a few weeks in A Coruna. I should perhaps start with...

    Immersion Spanish Schools in Spain

    Hello @cher99840 I need to point out that I have had no experience with this school and as such, I can not vouch or recommend it. However, it sounds very interesting to me and I am planning on going out early next year. I heard about it via a Spanish language school here in London, El Camino...

    Eco Camino with ecoembes support.

    Hi All, I am not sure if this initiative has been discussed here yet but I have only just seen it on Albergue Verdes Facebook profile. It seems like a brilliant idea. My Spanish language is very basic and I plan to google translate for more information but was wondering if any forum members...

    Rucksac cover with hard of hearing sign.

    I also experienced this @Bisnick and couldn't find anything suitable for my pack. It is easy enough to find pin badges but they are 6 cm at best and may not be large enough for the cyclist to see in time. I ended up improvising by purchasing a t-shirt from the website redbubble and cutting the...

    Is Courtesy Still Alive on the Camino? A Pre-Bookers Rant and more...

    I can confirm that courtesy is alive and well on the Camino and that in my experience some of the loveliest and most thoughtful people I have met in recent years have been met on the Camino. But I can also confirm that the Camino is not a controlled utopian ideal and as such many of the...

    Can I carry a penknife or nail scissors on Ryanair?

    Blunt scissors and those with blades less than 6cms are allowed. Recently flew to Spain with nail scissors and jewellery pliers and had them ready to show the security people who were absolutely fine. I have posted the UK Government official advice on what can be carried below...

    Apparitions and other mysteries on your Camino

    Oh well, as I said, my stupidity has been established and my mystical moment destroyed so no need for the rubbing of salt into the wound. Have a nice weekend, Mickey Mouse

    Apparitions and other mysteries on your Camino

    Oh, I didn't realise that they would write all 3 Names in the area where the pilgrim's name goes. I always assumed that when you walked on behalf of someone they added that person name to the Compostela but not actually with the pilgrim's name as they did with mine, and certainly not a nickname...

    Apparitions and other mysteries on your Camino

    In 2013 I walked the Camino Frances after the death of my father and it soon became very apparent that not only was I processing that grief but also the unresolved grief of my mother who had died when I was 11. I had some wonderfully spiritual moments along the way but when I was walking the...

    Regrets of a pilgrim

    Perhaps the Camino's greatest gift is that once you have begun, it seems to never stop. The lessons and experiences we have on Camino seem to be carried with us and shape our new thinking long after we have returned home. Indeed some of us have a whole new way of looking at life. And perhaps...

    Camino not for me?

    I echo your sentiments actually! Your post was wonderfully positive and gentle so thank you also. I do love threads that show the genuine kindness of forum members and always find something to take away for myself.

    Camino not for me?

    Absolutely brilliant! Best advice ever and it will be in my mind when I start off in july. Thank you for sharing.

    Camino not for me?

    Hello Kellbell, I am glad that you have reached out for advice and there is a wealth of knowledge from forum members much more experienced than myself that I hope will be forthcoming. You mention that there is a part of you that needs to push through it and so coupled with reaching out to the...

    Pilgrim Passport from another country

    Yes. Do as you wish. It is funny because I hold dual citizenship and when i do a camino i always use my New Zealand passport although i have lived in the UK for almost 30 years. I think the credencial holds more memories for me so i try to use different ones. I recently ordered the book style...

    LIVE from the Camino Struggling on the Camino.

    @Annette london Thank you Annette. It is much appreciated. As I said, The Camino changed my life and I am so glad I didn't listen to the well-meaning but ill advice from friends and walked. I was 45 at the time and a lifetime of self-hatred left me and able to deal with what i needed to. Good...

    LIVE from the Camino Struggling on the Camino.

    Thank you so much @VNwalking It is really kind of you and encouraging to me because for years I didn't try to work with it and was trapped by my own insecurities and limitations. Walking the Camino was life-changing for me in so many ways. I went from being someone who at times couldn't get to...
