Hi!
While grocery shopping in a large supermarket the other day I was reminded of the camino in a very subtle way. The aisles of the store were marked as one way due to social distancing requirements.
While I had no problems following the arrows most everyone else just ignored them. In fact I...
Good afternoon!
I am looking for the most recent edition of this book in English. Amazon has versions in Spanish German and French. I have a copy of the 5th edition in English 1999. If anyone familiar with that kind of research could assist me I would appreciate it. The publisher is Everest...
Good Evening,
I hope that this thread is acceptable and within the perview of the forum.
I am trying to locate a particular church along the camino francès dedicated to Saint Blaise. I remember being in it but cannot remember its location. If anyone can help I would be thankful.
Good Morning,
I leave for Porto in 36 hours and have a delicate question. Im afraid in this case that I will need fact based answers and with respect I request that those answering please do not offer opinions as they will not be helpful.
In Dec. my brother passed away. In keeping with his...
Good Morning,
For the first time my Camino plans include someone from start to finish. My daughter has asked to join me this year to walk the Portuguese from June 3 to 17 Porto to SdC. As a bonus we will spend 3 nights in Porto prior to walking to Vila do Conde on the coast June 3rd. We will...
I am contemplating a dual purpose Camino Ingles. The physical aspect will be to walk from Winchester following the North Downs Way to Canterbury then on to Dover and back to Winchester via the South Downs way.
The above route to be done after walking from Preston Lancs to Sheffield.
Both of...
I am sometimes surprised at the number of people who make responses that appear to be less than considerate of other people's sensitivities.
In one particular case someone expressed a feeling about a topic and received a rather harsh response which more or less told them they were wrong to have...
Good Morning from frosty Ottawa!
I am getting closer to deciding on which way to go this autumn. It looks like the Portuguese is winning out. At the moment I'm not sure if I can meet my objectives on a marked route.
1. to start in Lisbon
2. to pass through Fatima (or side-walk if necessary)...
Good Morning,
Most everyone is aware and as most have posted at least a mention on this topic I thought it might be prudent to start a discussion on the topic of wines and wineries/bodegas that are available to drink/tour along the Camino Frances. I would hope to exclude wine regions that do...
good Afternoon from Canada!
In Sept I finished my 4th Camino and had occasion to donate my walking stick to an art project at the Pilgrims Office.
To date I have had no news with respect to this project and I am wondering if anyone else on the forum has any news of it.
Thanks in advance for...
Good Thursday afternoon
I apologize if this is not the proper forum for this post. If it isn't perhaps one of the more experienced posters could direct me :?
I have airline reservations from Paris to my home on the 15th of September. I will complete the Camino sometime before that date and...
Just tripped over this forum. Looks like a very useful tool for planning but more importantly for venting some of the positive energy associated with the Camino.
I walked the Camino in 2008 from SJPP to Santiago and was hooked prior to my arrival in SJPP. I'll do the same Camino starting in...
