    LIVE from the Camino The Camino Needs You.

    I start walking from Burgos on July 9. Coming up fast, but not fast enough.

    LIVE from the Camino The Camino Needs You.

    An interesting idea. If pilgrims were to suddenly stop walking tomorrow and not resume walking would the Camino still be there? The routes would still be there, the many paths pilgrims have walked for centuries up until this time. But do the routes and paths themselves make a Camino? Or is it...

    First Sello in Burgos

    Thank you Bala. I was hoping the cathedral would have a stamp. I will be sure to have a look around inside.

    First Sello in Burgos

    I'll be starting my Camino on July 9 in Burgos and I'm wondering where I can get a first sello for my pilgrimage on the CF to Santiago de Compostela. Is there one at the cathedral? If so, where? I won't be staying at an albergue in Burgos the night of the 8th. Thanks for any suggestions.

    September Frances

    I'm looking at a late August start and early October finish on the Frances from Burgos to Santiago. Considering the Camino de Madrid as an alternative if I hear albergues are going to be too full. I've been training since my plans for last year were canceled. I've done a number of virtual walks...

    Photo Book

    I used Snapfish with a two-page spread for each day and five photos per page (10 photos per day). Turned out very nice.

    Camino Must See

    I found the Monasteries of San Millan de la Cogolla to be very fascinating. Monastery Suso, founded in the 6th century, gave me an understanding of how a pilgrimage site could originate from the simple cell of a hermit who developed a following and who was reported to preform miracles. And the...

    Side trips: Yuso, Suso, Sto Domingo de Silos

    I walked the Camino Real from Najera to San Millan de la Cogolla after staying the night before in Ventosa. Route finding on the Camino Real was good for the first part of the way, but eventually I was sort of feeling my way; which was okay with me. The hotel at the Monastery Yuso was closed...

    Going back to the start

    I hear what you're saying but I wonder if any number of people could raise any number of complaints about who is taking beds away from whom on the Camino. Is my supposed touring of Spain on my way from Santiago any different from my touring Spain on the way to Santiago? Do we know the intentions...

    Going back to the start

    I'm thinking, if I have time after completing the Camino Frances, of revisiting some cities I walked through (Burgos and Pamplona) and walking from Pamplona back to SJPP and then training from there back to Paris. Can I expect to be welcomed in the albergues? I would get to Burgos and Pamplona...

    Excursions off the Camino Frances

    I'm planning to walk the Camino Frances from SJPP to Finisterre/Muxia and have about 2 months (May 23 - July 21) for this. I've just learned about the short, 3-day walk to Covarrubias. I would probably catch a bus back to Burgos to get back on the CF. Are there any other 1-3 day side trips you...

    Natural History Along the Camino Frances

    Can anyone provide resources concerning the natural history (birds, flowers, trees, geology, etc.) one encounters along the Camino Frances?

    Posting a package to Santiago from SJPP

    Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and sharing your experiences. I think SYates has come up with the simplest solution.

    I like that idea. Wearable souvenirs. Thanks.

    Posting a package to Santiago from SJPP

    I'm planning to walk the CF from SJPP in late May 2017 and would like to post a package of clean clothes to Santiago from SJPP. Anyone have recommendations/experience?
