    Good books of people's experiences on the Camino

    You won't be disappointed . Her book was the first one I read on my trek to gather thoughts on the Camino it was by FAR one of the strangest,self centered accounts of the Camino I have come across. Kevin Cobb's was and still is at the top of my list.

    Reservations

    I would agree with SYates. Personally I find reservations place you on a "have to " pace which can distract from "where you are". But again if you are the type of traveler who likes to know where they are going and where they will sleep than by all means reserve. On our first Camino we got...

    Good Morning all. I traveled The Francis in the fall of 2014 and want to go back to a Camino soon. My query relates to parish run albergues on other routes. I want the experience of the Francis with its communal meals ( where I can cook for all ) and small parish run albergues on another...

    Remedial Massage along the Camino

    Hi Enrica welcome to the forum. My wife and I completed the Francis route last Sept. and we had no difficulty arranging massages anywhere along the route. Most alberques are able to give an onsite massage or recommend a service in the village. As mentioned by others the larger cities and...

    Advice please? looking for ´the spiritual side´between Sarria nd Santiago

    My wife and I have come from St Jean and are nearing teh end of a wonderful camino experience. She steared us to parrochial albergues to maximize opporunites for communal meals, prayer cirlces, etc. Since Sarria we can´t find much that is focused on pilgrimage per se, apart from mention of mass...

    St.Anthony of Padua

    Thanks everyone for the information . It seems St. Anthony ( Antonio) can be found in spirit wherever one looks. Being asked to deliver my friend's intentions ( to me ) is just one more sign drawing me to the Camino. Not sure if I will experience an historic Catholic pilgrimage but I know this...

    St.Anthony of Padua

    A good friend of ours has asked us to carry her intention to St. Anthony when we travel the Camino Francis this fall. Does anybody know if there is a parish ( or church/shrine ) dedicated to St. Anthony along the camino?

    Leaving SJPDP, midAug. vs. early Sept?

    My wife Pat and I struggled with the same 2 week window. We decided to start on the 30th of August primarily to avoid the final 2 weeks of the traditional European holiday period of August. Starting from SJJDP would ( we hope) allow us a little less traffic at the start and for sure less at the...
