    Trying to Donate but it is a hassle....

    Really, really, the easiest way to transfer money is by using Paypal. It may not be the cheapest, but it is widely known and trusted.

    España — Tierra, Agua, Fuego, Aire (book from 1969)

    I am very sorry for all those that over the years sought my advice on walking the Camino, and always postponed. Now who knows when they will be able to.

    COVID New start dates?

    As usual, you are spot on, I think.

    American pilgrim living in Mexico

    I live in Guadalajara and lakeside on week-ends. I have done 7 caminos to-date and will be walking the Norte in May. We could meet and talk about Camino and non-Camino topics.

    When did it happen to you?

    Something like that happened to me in May, I was supposed to walk for 6 weeks but after week 4 I was too tired and a with a big blister on my left sole, so I cut it short and flew back home. Hope it's not my advancing age, for next year I have extended Camino plans.

    Fruit on the Camino

    If you happen to see the owners. When trees are obviously not cared for and fruit will just fall and rot, I assume it's safe to pick a fig or two. How much can you eat, after all? Sometimes there's a sign inviting you to help yourself. Or a small stand run by kids where you can buy some fruit.

    Fruit on the Camino

    In September on the Norte you can eat your fill of figs and cherries right from the trees. They are so good!

    Possible explanation of why some of us do multiple Caminos or the same Camino multiple times

    I start next week on the Madrid-Salvador-Primitivo-Finisterre caminos. My sixth time. I suppose I became addicted right from the start, ten years ago. After achieving other goals in life (family, work), I now find that what I would like most is to walk all caminos, over and over, health and...

    Bon soir mademoiselle, what can I do for you?

    Are there snakes on the Camino?

    For a moment I thought you had found a skinny french snake in your sleeping bag. French and slender, but still a snake.

    a 'training walk' on Good Friday

    Hydrating is fine and essential, problem is when you are walking in urban surroundings, all the "pit-stops" men my age (61) will recognize. I am absolutely grateful most Camino walking is cross-country and full of appropiate bushes and thickets.

    Nationalities on the Camino

    I was born and live in Mexico, but hold dual citizenship (Spain), since my grandfather hailed from Galicia. My Spanish passport is very useful when coming to Europe, because of the Schengen 3-month stay rule and the ease of immigration procedure. When people ask me where I am from I always...

    Show me your tattoo

    This is the Santiago Cross. I have toyed with the idea of having a very small one tatooed in red over my heart. Since I am not sure yet, I bought a silver one and it is hanging around my neck.

    Buen or bon camino?

    I would think that SJPP being on the Franco-Spanish border both languages are interchangeable.

    Post Camino depression

    You are onto something very true, very powerful. Problem is, would I prefer to be a permanent pilgrim rather than what I am now? Maybe yes, at least for some time. Until I have done all Caminos one after the other. A couple of years? When I go back home would I still have a family? Those are...
