    Scavenger Hunt for Kids on the Camino...ideas needed

    No-one mentioned hearing and see Cuckoos. We heard them every day but never saw them. How about noting what countries pilgrims are from? Or learning how to say "Hello" or "Thank you" in their language. Buen Camino

    Sarria to SDC attractions

    You might want to Google the dates you will be traveling to see if any of the communities you will be traveling through will be celebrating any holidays or religious events, When we arrived at Santiago they were celebrating the Feast of the Ascension. We did not know that and I am sure we...

    single woman looking for someone to start the walk with

    I just Googl-ed "Canadian Pilgrims on the Camino" and got some hits. Here in the States we have an organization called "American Pilgrims on the Camino". They have many chapters across the country. This is where I got to meet other pilgrims who have walked the Camino and who are planning to...

    Backpack as Therapeutic Device

    My pack weighed about 19 Lbs and my wife's about 15. And in the end there still were things we wished we would have left behind. Just remember the old George Carlin joke about "Our Stuff". The Camino is not the AT or the PCT. Buen Camino

    Cheapest Way to Way

    I have been thinking about what Tyrrek suggested back on Oct. 2, about making crafts and selling them to raise money. Here is a photo of a hand tied rosary someone gave me at the Pilgrim's Mass in Santiago. You could learn to tie these and sell them before you embark on your Camino and while...

    Cheapest Way to Way

    Hello Writer, My wife and I did our Camino in May 2015. We found that we could share a Pilgrims meal between the two of us and we were full. If you had a hiking partner you could not only share meals but share the weight of your tent. Buen Camino

    List the albergues that offer communal meals!

    Did our Pilgrimage in May 2015. Like Luisa we enjoyed our communal dinner at the Albergue Casa Domingo in Pontecampaña. The meal was 10 Euros each and it was filling both physically and spiritually.

    In Retrospect: Top 5 Things You Wish You'd Known

    Here are our thoughts 1 – Not be on a schedule to get to Santiago in 8 days. Although we walked from Sarria to Santiago in 8 days (no one passed us) we wish we had taken more time to stay in towns like Porto Marin and Pedrouzo. 2 – Pack less clothing. 3 – Take two pair of zip-off leg pants...

    Sarria - Santiago

    Buen Camino and remember to take your time and take in the experience. My wife and I did Sarria to Santiago in 8 days and wished we hade taken it slower to enjoy the people and towns along the way.

    Prebook a room in Sarria

    For our first night on our Camino from Sarria to Santiago, we did book our lodging in Sarria at the Alb. Monasterio (10€ each). It was nice not to have to think about “where am I going to stay tonight?”. The Alb. Monasterio is right on the Camino and just down the way from Km marker 111...

    Confused about the cost given for some of the albergues

    My wife and I just finished our pilgrimage from Sarria to Santiago in May. The term “Hostel” in Spain is a small hotel. A “Youth Hostel” in Spain is what I know as a hostel (a room with 4 to many bunk beds and shared with strangers”. The Albergues we stayed in ranged from 4 bunks to 19 bunks...

    RENFE Schedule Not Posted for June 15th

    For what it is worth, I was looking to book the RENFE train from Madrid to Sarria on 7 May 2015. RENFE posted the schedule for the 7 May train on 17 April 2015. That is only 21 days. Loco2 (the folks I booked my tickets through) said that they had seen RENFE post schedules as late as 14 days...
