    Walking with headphones?

    Last time I walked in 2017, I used headphones. Now I'm going to walk again in April. I listened to Bible teachers like Derek Prince, the audio bible (the Psalms) and of course lots of worship music. What do you think of people who walk with big headphones? Do you use headphones 🎧? Answer the...

    “Un Pianista En El Camino”. Classical Spanish Music in the Camino

    OK, this may be a long shot, but here it goes: Any musicians out there familiar with Spanish piano repertoire? I’m a devoted, obsessed amateur classical pianist, in particular I’ve explored works by Spanish composers like Albeniz, Granados, de Falla, all of whom used folk tunes in their...

    Needed help in identifying this Pablo Neruda poem

    EPOCH "Here it does not rest, a past I summoned with a bell so that things awaken and the rings gather around me, which have separated from fingers obeying death: I did not want to reconstruct the hands or the sadnesses: after everything, once and for all shall die this century of agony that...

    Musical instruments on the Camino.

    Dearest pilgrims, I am flying to Paris in a little over 2 weeks, beginning my first Camino from SJPP on October 22! I am beyond excited and more than a little bit anxious. So… I have a beautiful, foldable backpacking guitar which weighs in at about 3 to 3.5 lbs. I cannot decide whether or not...

    Classical Guitar in Carrion

    I am headed towards Carrión de los Condes where there are a lot of good classical guitarists performing at various churches at this time of year. Check it out at Ermita de La Piedad near the Santa Clara monastery

    Choirs

    Hello Everyone! We begin our journey mid June, we plan to walk the Frances to Logranos, then switch to the Primitivo starting in Oviedo. I have an obsession with choirs, I just adore them. I have been reading about the choir in Lugo, and have it marked down as a must attend (we are planning...

    Path of Miracles

    Hi- this afternoon I was wandering the streets of Christchurch NZ and came across a poster advertising the performance of "A Path of Miracles, Joby Talbot's stunning choral depiction of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage." Unfortunately I won't be in town when it happens so I will miss it but am...

    What is Your Marching Music

    When I am walking my preference is to walk alone, and then later in the day listen to an audiobook, if there is a long slightly featureless path. However often as I come to the end of a long day or when I am feeling tired I have a few go-to, what I refer to as marching songs. Usually, they...

    Live folk music by locals?

    I am wondering if anyone has any tips for finding out about small gatherings of local folks playing live (folk, traditional) music in towns along the Frances/San Salvador/Primitivo that I might tap into. I am NOT a musician, but I will be missing my circle of friends who play roots/old...

    Camino playlist post

    I thought it would be fun to read other responses to this because I love listening to music and learning of new music. I will start this and hopefully get some great replies and new music to listen to. I didn't listen to music all the time but I did listen a lot and I absolutely started my...

    Poetry along the way

    While walking solo I often find myself voicing out a few lines of poetry or lyrics from a song. Examples may be "My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky" or "I wander lonely as a cloud....", "Black bird singing in the dark of night" and many others. I also recite verses from...

    Poem

    Camino de Santiago. 30.6.2022 They say the Camino is yours To be done your way There's no 'one size fits all' No one to dictate.. They say it's an experience A walk that's only your own And whether you're solo Or one in a group You're actually alone.. You have your reasons...

    Poetry about the Camino

    Some pilgrims sing, but I like to recite verse in my head as I walk, and there's one poem by Christina Rossetti (1830-94) which seems written for the Camino, though it is allegorical and I don't think she ever trod the way. Nevertheless "Uphill" is very appropriate for those of us who are...

    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...

    Curious about the bagpiper in Santiago

    In countless videos about the arrival in Santiago we see the bagpiper playing near the entrance to the cathedral square. Just wondering if these pipers are essentially random buskers, or is this an official job that a piper has? I'm assuming they have their pipes case open for donations. Are...

    Recommendations for flamenco and other music...

    1. I need help from a Spanish citizen or someone who visits/travels often. Somewhere along my Camino Frances way, or in Barcelona or Bilbao before I start, to know where to go to enjoy the best possible Spanish guitar or Flamenco. I would be most grateful for recommendations that avoid...

    Blues (Music) On The Camino

    Does anyone know of, or can recommend, any blues bars/clubs on any of the camino routes? I have come across a few, by chance, but I don’t always remember exactly where. There was one in Astorga. I arrived in town about 6pm, looked for somewhere to get a glass of something and a tapa, and...
