    Origin of the Camino Passport

    I've heard many conflicting stories about the first camino passport (or credential). Does anyone have links to books or other articles about the history of this document? When? Why? Different versions over time?

    Understanding Dragonte - The Ultimate Templar Tribute

    SafariGirl, Thank you for acknowledging the work I've done on this post. I wanted to figure it out for myself and then post my findings. With any open forum you will find lots of opinions and 100% of the people think they are 100% correct 100% of the time. In this case all of the people had some...

    2019 - I hope this will be my year for the Camino.

    Rob, I learned about the Camino in 1983 during my first year of high school. I wanted to do it instantly but life always gave me excuses to postpone until next year. I never had an injury like yours, just pressure from jobs, girlfriends, etc. I even moved to Spain after getting married to a...

    Best videos on Vimeo or Youtube

    Most every pilgrim has watched "The Way" but there are hundreds, if not thousands, of other videos on Vimeo and Youtube about the Camino. I'd like to figure out the top 5 videos. Please post links to your favorites so we can come up with a great list.

    How important is your pilgrim's passport?

    hel&scott, I both agree and disagree with your post. Yes it is about the experience and that is everything so by that criteria the passport is unimportant. That said, let's take a minute to think of the human brain and how memory ques unlock memories. Looking at your pilgrim's passport will...

    How important is your pilgrim's passport?

    I've walked the Camino Frances 3 times but one discussion with a man outside of Pamplona on my very first camino in 2013 stands out as the most memorable. He stopped me as I was just about to enter the city and told me I needed to hear his story of the camino. I stood and had my life changed...

    Pilgrims friends who don't finish

    Go back and finish! Not necessarily now, but as soon as you have time and can make it happen. The Camino isn't easy and it often seems like everything in the world is trying to get you to fail, but you cannot fail until you quit. You're not quitting now but only stopping to regroup. Life is...

    Walking in early morning hours

    JMB, I've completed 2 Caminos and will start my third on June 3. I start almost everyday at 5am. You will find several people starting at 5am, especially on the longer stages or forecasted hotter than average days. I have a few friends who have walked the Camino 7 times. They have a saying...

    There seems to be a good group leaving on June 3rd. Keep us posted on your travel dates. It is always nice to know some of the pilgrims right from the start!

    Starting June 3 2017 from SJPP

    Alan, I've only researched a small amount on the Via de la Plata. Unfortunately I cannot be of much help, but it is on my list as an option for 2019 after I complete Norte and Primitivo next year. I hear from people who have done multiple routes they prefer Plata over Portuguese, but it is a...

    Starting June 3 2017 from SJPP

    We are heading out from Saint Jean Pied de Port on the morning of July 3rd which means you would need to be in SJPP the day before. Let me know if you have any questions. I've been researching the camino for over 10 years and have done in twice (2013 & 2015). I have day by day notes on the most...

    Starting June 3 2017 from SJPP

    This will be my third Camino and there isn't a tremendous difference on any day of the week. Two nights in SJPP seems like too much. A night in Bayonne followed by a night in SJPP would be my advice. If you get to SJPP on the second with a plan to start your hike on the third let me know. I've...

    Anyone else starting their Camino from Saint Jean Pied de Port on June 3rd?

    Last minute advice for first timers.

    I'm preparing for my third Camino. I've learned that your pack is never light enough and trying with your pack before leaving is a big help. The best tip I have is stretching for at least 10-15 minutes at the end of each hike. It is a lifesaver. You'll notice most of the people who've...
