    Walk In Beauty: Prayer From The Navajo People

    Thank you for this lovely peaceful painting and the poem. You have captured ‘la duende del camino’.

    Walking with my parents, who are mid-70's

    Agree with this kind advice. Footwear is critical. If boots give you blisters switch to good shoes like Merrells with good sandals like Tevas to change into if you ferl blisters coming. Go at your own pace! If from SJdeP agree with stop halfway up the mountain. I wish we had. It isn't a race...

    Dental Care

    I broke a front canine tooth on theMozarabe a year or so ago. We then moved on to Ourense where I found the BEST dentist! I felt so ashamed that I had doubted the standard of dentistry. The staff were lovely. The equipment was state of the art. The dentist did a sensational job of repairing the...

    New to camino

    Agree. We are here to support not criticise. The Caminos are good at teaching us how imperfect we are and how diifferent everyone's experiences are. Re shoes. I take one pair of Merrell walking shoes and a pair of Teva sandals. These are brilliant because you can walk in them if you need to give...

    Don't Rubbish the Camino

    Thanks to all of you in relation to this issue. The rubbish can really get to you and picking up other pilgrims' muck can indeed make you cross. Education has to be part of the solution - watch a short video/you tube on Caring for the Camino before you can get your Credencial. A New Rubbish...

    One more sleep

    Have faith, all will be well. Traveller there is no path. Paths are made by walking,(Machado). How lucky you are to be starting off. Just take it easy, smile, use Spanish if you can, learn some if you can't. Look after your feet. If you start to get a blister change to your sandals. Peregrinos...

    Notable peregrinos

    The first bit up the Pyrenees might be the worst as it is straight up with not many stops to change your bag. what about taking the bus to Roncevalles and starting from there? Otherwise, you can stay at the halfway restaurant, and/or take a break. Buena suerte and you have my admiration.

    Two pilgrims lost and found in SJPP-Roncesvalles

    This is a kind reply. We started at 7 am and reached Roncevalles at 5 pm with rests along the way. On the same day some US pilgrims with a GPS managed to get totally lost. The moral of the story is the 7p's. "Prior preparation prevents pretty poor performance". Use a good guide and if you...

    LIVE from the Camino When your Camino doesn't go 'as planned'

    PS Kat, since then I have completed 7 Caminos to Santiago de Compostela. The Camino will always be waiting for you.

    LIVE from the Camino When your Camino doesn't go 'as planned'

    Hi Kat, I hope this is the right way to post a reply. I felt so sad to read what had happened to you on your first Camino, and then heartened to read the replies from fellow peregrinos. The only important thing for you is to get well and know that you have many years ahead of you to finish the...
