Hola fellow Pegrinos! I just arrived in Villafranca del Bierzo today and will be heading out on the morning. I am wondering about the less traveled path up the hill to / thru Padela instead of the Pereje route. The suggestion was the Pereje route, but I prefer the mountain vistas but want to...
Good Morning from Utah!
I am wondering about the Pilgrim's Mass. I hear that Mon-Friday the only Pilgrim's Mass is at 12 Noon. I thought I read somewhere that there is also a Pilgrim's Mass on Friday evenings at 730pm. Does anyone know for sure? It is an event that I cannot miss!
Thank you!
David! I have laughed over this! Thanks y0u! You're right...I AM crazy. They say the most crazy of us don't know it or question it...I guess I'm certifiable then! :) I WISH I were walking the full 500 miles. I'm starting in Villafranca del Bierzo and I am making it a priority to come back...
I am blessed to live in a beautiful part of the country. But really...it's ALL beautiful when I open my eyes to it! Moab (Arches) is on the docket again for the end of August. I love that place. Thanks for reminding me! :)
I cannot begin to put into words how excited I am a d how much I am looking forward to my Camino!!! I don't know anyone here in my "normal" circle who comprehends the thrill I get when I talk about walking through Spain. Almost all of them think I'm crazy and some have told me "it's a...
I am a first timer starting in Villa Franca Del Bierzo the first week in October 2015. I will (eventually) do the entire walk, but until I'm independently wealthy the darn job gets in the way. In the meantime, lucky - blessed me! I'm so excited to be <100 days from my start time. Yippee!
I agree about the work thing! I'm taking off two weeks to camino and am a first timer with a similar time frame. I cannot do the whole trek, but am so excited! Best to you and perhaps we shall run into each other at some point. :)
I hope this isn't inappropriate to repost, but in about three months and under 100 days, I'm putting my feet on the Camino. I cannot believe it's going to happen. It's been on my wish / bucket list for at least 5-8 years now. Never ever thought it would happen. I start in Villa Franca Del...
Mr Renshaw...
I am interested in your definition of "rain gear". I am such a wimp when it comes to the cold and yet I sweat with exertion. I start my mini-Camino in Villafranca del Bierzo in October so I will be in the Galician region where I hear chances are pretty good for cold, wet...
Mike! Murray is practically in my backyard! I am always a little surprised to know half way around the world I could run into someone 20 miles from my home. :) I look forward to your sage advice!
