    Leon to Santiago

    Ullali, it is a tough decision! I think Finistarre and/or Muxia shouldn't be missed. It really does make it feel like the official "end". That said, you can always take a bus day trip to the coast. Many people do that too. So this way you can have more days walking. I spent two nights in Leon...

    Leon to Santiago

    Hi Ullali! I am actually starting on Sept 6 from Astorga. I had originally planned Leon, but as I have just two weeks, I felt Astorga was a better starting point. I think if you have around 17-20 days starting in Leon is perfect. It's a beautiful city, and you may want to spend an extra day...

    LIVE from the Camino How's the weather?

    From the looks of the forecast- based on historical averages- high 60's during the day and low 50's at night. I am bringing a waterproof shell and a lightweight fuzzy fleece. Can always layer if needed! (Like my profile pic from April of '12- wore everything under my waterproof!) You can see...

    From the Facebook post- he was on Le Puy and was last seen at Saint-Privat-d'Allier on the 19th. Sending prayers that he will be found safe.

    Pilgrim Playlists

    MaryLynn! :) Your post reminded me of recording the frogs one morning. They were chirping and shrieking so loudly. (I had totally forgotten about that and now have to go in search of the recordings I made!) I loved the sounds of the Camino but admit, on some tough days, a little Black Eyed Peas...

    Life after the Camino..

    The "call of the Camino" is very strong. You will go back and finish where you left off. Or maybe you'll start at the beginning again! But just as it gives you what you need, not what you want, it also follows you back to your regular life in so many ways. I was like you- never left home without...

    Municipal Albergue in Leon is closing

    Thank you to everyone that responded to my question. I really had no idea how much to give. I am so glad to know now and can figure it into my days' budgets. Starting in 15 days!

    Municipal Albergue in Leon is closing

    I agree that one should donate what they can for the donavito but exactly how much or what would be considered appropriate? I have tried to find the answer on the forums but don't really know as a newbie. I don't want to offend anyone but am definitely on a budget. But I also don't mind giving...

    Fantasy or reality??

    :D That would be my hope/wish as well! Good luck- and if you find a job there, please hire me!
