    Slow but moving forward

    I knew exactly what you meant Fernando. Been through many similar situations. However, most if not all who read the auto-correct "mispelling" understood what I meant. Now, make sure you don't lose that brown hat. Buen Camino

    Slow but moving forward

    Going slow is best. Key is moving forward. You get to enjoy the camino safer and without blisters.;)

    Slow but moving forward

    In Irache, on the right just before the town proper; about 4km from Estella; 2.5 km past Ayegui where the famous metal artist is located. Buen Camino.

    Yes! Past pilgrims and camino guides regard it as the most photographed house along the camino.

    Arriving in Villafranca del Bierzo today

    The white house sits atop a hill, framed by two mature trees, about half a kilometer away on the left side of the camino, past most of the vineyards, sort of downhill before start getting closer to the village/s and town. I heard that the house is the most photographed house along the camino. I...

    Arriving in Villafranca del Bierzo today

    Make sure to take a picture of the white house up on the hill on the left side, if you have not in the past. Buen Camino.

    Shopping in St Jean Pied de Port on Sundays

    I was at SJPdP early part of April 2023 and while there I remember my kids going to this store that sells foie gras and make sandwiches of it. I bought a couple of packs (4 containers) of their foie gras that do not need refrigeration to take home to my kids in the USA two (2) months later. The...

    LIVE from the Camino Anyone near Castrojeriz now

    True. Albergue Orion should not be called Korean Albergue simply because it is popular due to its "bibimbap" dinner. However, their "bibimbap" dinner is authentically prepared by the Korean lady (Changsui), Dani's partner in the albergue.

    Heavily pruned trees

    In some places, gardeners/farmers prune (to just big stalks/branches) plants heavily for healthier growth (leaves, flowers, fruits, etc) for the upcoming season..

    Pilgrimage - selfish?

    Yes, things that ruin family and friends are (talking about) politics (everything related), religion, and borrowing money. Ultreia et Suseia.

    The Camino will provide?

    Yes! The camino is THE people (pilgrims) on it. Without the pilgrims, the camino as it is regarded, would be, well, just another trail or path or way. "Camino provides" does not mean providing material things. It means providing hope that things are going to be alright. That with hope, one can...

    Confused over date format

    How about jacket zippers? Europe zippers are inserted rightie while leftie in US. Tylenol/Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) pills with 1000 mg each. Clothing product tags are almost a foot long, an inch maybe in US.

    Confused over date format

    I believe Spain, particularly business transactions, uses the ISO standard/format calendar; most significant number (year/yyyy), next significant (month/mm), then day number (dd).

    Getting to SJPDP

    My kids and I used Express Bourricot from SJPdP to SDC between end of Sep to middle of Nov 2022, and worked great and no additional fee for all that number of days. The Express Bourricot office in SJPdP is right next door to the Pilgrims Office. The only thing was, when we got our luggage back...

    Getting to SJPDP

    Food for thought, depending on your luggage's weight/bulk, and your accommodation's location in SJPdP, the bus from Pamplona stops about 4-6 blocks away from the citadel. Last year I had a hell time dragging my luggage from the bus stop to my accommodation near the Pilgrims Office at the Rue de...

    Partially unplugging from the world

    What I did during my caminos, I only used my gizmos as safety and security devices. Prior to my walk I advised family and friends that I will contact them at the end of the day, time permitting, and/or unless something drastic happened. It is amazing how liberating, envigorating, and refreshing...
