    Good Friday Music For Peregrinos – Spanish Music Selection No 19

    The reason I've retreated somewhat is to give space to new Pilgrims to ask questions during this busy opening up of our pilgrim routes. In fact the reason I started was to help keep interest alive during these lockdown years. But mate! Seeing it's you doing the asking, and I hold you in such...

    Good Friday Music For Peregrinos – Spanish Music Selection No 19

    Good Friday. This day with its peaceful, somber, mystical air. An unbeliever has just realised that for him, this day has so far had an overlay of quiet, deep solitude. Due I guess to many years of immersion in a Western Judaeo/Christian tradition. This has been a gentle surprise. Upon...

    Fancy a Walk with Dorothy and William?

    Posted this yesterday then later noted a substantial error. Went back in to edit it but apparently deleted it! Sorry bout that. Irrefutable evidence of me being a complete drongo. Here we go again then...

    A Pilgrim's Way.....in 2022

    I do not look for holy saints to guide me on my way Or male and female devilkins to lead my feet astray. If these are added I rejoice - if not, I shall not mind So long as I have leave and choice to meet my fellow-kind. For as we come and as we go (and deadly soon go we!) The people, lord...

    Which Route? Have 27 days to walk.

    I was about to say no .... because this is a very exclusive group ... but you seem to be a decent sort of a bloke. I guess we can make allowances for you cobber. I'm considering Madrid to Sahagun. Then bus (Quelle Horreur)? to Ponferrada. On via The Winter Way (I just love the name) to...

    The queues in Santiago

    I feel a proverb coming on. "Some people are born with patience. Some have patience thrust upon them."

    The queues in Santiago

    This is a question that surely should be put to the Pilgrim Office in Santiago. But then, you have probably already done this, or are about to do so. Please advise as to the outcome of your enquiry as it is surely of interest to many forum members. Thank you, Gerard

    What is your perspective on this rather metaphysical question?

    I'd consider Portugal....only due to having recently followed a Brit who shifted there with his family, working as a digital nomad, and also, if my memory is correct, as a migratiion consultant. He has a live forum and one piece of info I picked up was that a single person could live there...

    FADO / An Introduction – Portuguese music selection

    FADO - An Introduction In attempting to find an appropriate introduction to Fado I found it necessary to wade through a plethora of opinion in Utube videos and online articles. The difficulty came in attempting to sort through the various positions held by musicians, singers (Fado is not a...

    The mediatization of the Camino and its impacts on the pilgrimage

    "Mediatization" The very word, if it can legitimately be called a word, instills in me a sense of disgust, and effectively ensures I will refrain from reading the article. In the same way that other, less recently coined one, "Mindfullness" did. I note with appreciation that my browser...

    Excellent! Thank you ever so much for your time spent in collecting and supplying the detail. I couldn't have wished for more. Regards Gerard

    Opening of the Commemorations of the Centenary of Amalia Rodrigues (1920 – 2020) - Portuguese music selection

    To initiate the celebrations of the centenary of Amalia Rodrigues, the most famous of all fado singers, a seemingly ever increasing number of guitarists gather to perform in her honour. For those of you who I know enjoy listening to some of these selections as background music while attending to...

    Miss your Beloved?

    Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed, The dear repose for limbs with travel tired; But then begins a journey in my head To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired: For then my thoughts–from far where I abide– Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee, And keep my drooping eyelids...

    Why do my feet hurt? Metatarsal tales

    What a good idea that is. Thank you very much. Regards, Gerard

    Anyone in or passing through Ireland, this Greenway could be of interest.

    Here performed by Luke Kelly and the Dubliners, I was thinking "The Auld Triangle' to be a fine "set off song" for the mornings. I do like a good song as I set off to brighten my spirits, and also to set my walking rhythm. However I do need a translation for the following terms. "You Bowsie"...

    That daily shower scramble - a different viewpoint

    I've got one of those 'sea to summit' collapsible buckets. I must have bought it ten years ago. Such a good idea. I reckon I'm even going to use it one day.......for something. Regards Gerard
