    Hospitaleros & The Pilgrim

    Hi Pam—Main difference is that there are less people and maybe a little different vibe but the hospitalero experience is pretty much the same. Every day the energy is a little different based on the group. Contact Rebekah Scott to let her know you’re interested.

    Hospitaleros & The Pilgrim

    Hola from Najera - your current hospitalero! I have served as a hospi in all the seasons at Najera, Grado and Canfranc plus a private albergue near Muxia and that's something you might want to consider--serving in winter, if you are open to being by yourself. The winter is definitely quieter...

    I’d like to hear from some Hospitaleros

    Hi Carol - I have volunteered through FICS at all 3 locations--Grado, Najera and Canfranc and plan on being a hospi again in 2023. What I love about the experience is that it really adds another layer to your Camino experience. It's wonderful to be able to give back by assisting peregrinos and...

    Post-Camino Travel: A Mistake or a Blessing?

    I would recommend a transition time from the completion of your Camino walk to returning to your home. You might consider giving yourself a few days in one location to just chill. After my first Camino I had scheduled a week with friends who live in Norway. It was a perfect transition for me...

    Daily Distances v Risk of Injury for those who are not exactly Fit or Slim

    Dearest Nancy - I walked my first Camino in 2013 and injured my achilles the first day out of the gate, so to speak. I ended up walking 300 of the 500 miles and taking buses and trains in between. I just completed my second Camino a few days ago and allowed myself 50 days this time. I did it...

    Daily Distances v Risk of Injury for those who are not exactly Fit or Slim

    Just finished and had scheduled 50 days but finished in 45 but no rest days. Least amount walked was the first to Orrisson and then had a couple of other shorter days when we wanted to stay at San Anton and San Nicholas otherwise averaged 10.5 miles a day with maybe 3-18 miles thrown in there.

    Snowing in Burgos.

    Where are you in East Anglia, Stephen? I spent some time there some years back--particularly Wethersfield!

    How did you integrate your camino experience with daily life?

    Interesting what you wrote "This is not our place; it is not our home. The Camino brings us closer to our home." That really resonates for me in terms of the draw that the Camino has for me after having completed my first pilgrimage last fall. And you're right--it is about continuing to...
