    Is this a thing I can do?

    Last year, my brand new pair of Speedgoats was wearing in a significant way. I had less than half of the tread when I got to Leon, so I went to an outfitter store and bought a new pair. (I wanted good tread for Molinaseca since it was spring and lots of rain.) this year, I’m going to email them...

    Is it permissible to skip Sarria to Santiago?

    Also consider taking the Invierno from Ponferrada if you want to avoid the Sarria crowds.

    How many times have you walked the Camino Frances (more than half way)?

    There is a British group called Journeying that puts together pilgrimages. I signed up for both walks because I’m interested in Celtic spirituality. I’ll post back about my experiences. https://www.journeying.co.uk/

    Planning My Camino on the French Way: May 2025

    I’ve done both May/June and Sept/Oct on the Frances. Spring is gorgeous! But it can also be rainy. I highly suggest buying an Altus raincoat/poncho at the gear store across from the Pilgrim’s Office in SJPP.

    How many times have you walked the Camino Frances (more than half way)?

    I agree. I’m walking St David’s Way and St Aidan’s Way in Great Britain this Spring (both new to me as I’m from California), and then doing my third Frances in July. So a mixture of new and repeat.

    How many times have you walked the Camino Frances (more than half way)?

    I'm so glad that you posted this! I thought I was the only one wrestling with the "shoulds." I have walked the Frances twice from SJPP to Muxia--once in the Fall of 2022 and then again in the Spring of 2023. Then, Fall 2023, I walked the Portuguese before volunteering in the Pilgrim's Office...

    Death of an Indonesian pilgrim on the Camino Frances

    I spoke with the pilgrim who performed CPR for 20 minutes until the helicopter arrive. Please pray, send good thoughts, healing energy to them, as well. Very traumatic.

    Festival flags from Hospital de Órbigo

    Unfortunately, we are in El Acebo already with no way to return. I’m still hoping to find them online somehow. 🙂

    Great idea!

    Festival flags from Hospital de Órbigo

    I was walking through Hospital this morning and the streets were festooned with hundreds of gorgeous medieval flags. Looks like they’re having a festival soon. The stores were closed, so I don’t know if the flags were available for purchase anywhere in town. Does anyone know if they can be...

    Wise Pilgrim App and mileage calculation between destinations

    Wise Pilgrim App and mileage calculation between destinations

    When I press the name, I’m taken to the Reserve a Bed page. And the mileage numbers are in black and gray. They used to be in colors, if I remember correctly.

    Wise Pilgrim App and mileage calculation between destinations

    I’m three days into the Frances and can’t figure out how to calculate mileage between destinations. Last Fall, I was able to touch and hold a town name and it would set that town as the starting point and then adjust the mileage going forward. So, for example, I’m in Akerreta now and I would...

    Weather condition Camino Frances

    We will be behind you by a day. Buy a poncho (you will likely need it in Galicia) and make sure to check with the pilgrim’s office for their advice on the weather over the summit. I don’t think lightning is in the forecast, but that’s important to look out for, as well. Buen Camino!

    Wise Pilgrim Camino Frances App

    Done!

    Wise Pilgrim Camino Frances App

    Wise Pilgrim was a great asset on my first Camino Frances last Fall and I used the Finisterre app, as well. I'll be using it again for my May/June Frances in a few weeks. Easy to use, and the navigation function gave us a sense of security when we didn't see anyone on the trail ahead of us. (Did...
