EricJR replied to the thread Making friends when starting the Camino later.Burgos is a great place to start! Lovely city. I can only get ~2 weeks at a time, and I've done Leon-Santiago (mostly) and Burgos-Leon (then on to Villafranca). I'm repeating Leon-Santiago starting Friday.

Hi @emma, If you are in good shape and a fast walker, you will be passing lots of people. I find as a slow walker that I don't often see the same pilgrims two nights in a row. Everyone has their own pace and I feel confident you will meet plenty... -

Hi all, Very new to this so please excuse any ignorance or silly questions :) I'm walking my very first Camino in 2 weeks (iieeeek) - the countdown is on and excitement through the roof. I've been reading through various threads to get a... -

Yes it seems that he ( he seemed like a boy but maybe not) had appointed himself (or herself) as the pilgrim guide out of Oseira. He/ she walked with us in the dark up that first very steep and rocky section. When we got to the road he / she...

Hi... as a straight older guy who walked that route some years ago there were times where 'acceptance' was not forthcoming. It happens to everyone for a lot of reasons not necessarily to do with you - the mistake would be to put down to being...

Native Spanish speaker here, although not from Spain. Bastones is probably correct, but palos may also work. To me, a “bastón” is more akin to a walking cane used by the elderly, but I don’t know a specific word for trekking poles. Being that...

Used a light-weight high-quality walking pole for the first time last year on the Via Francigena. Just for a day as I was delivering it to a pilgrim who had left it behind. What a revelation! All future caminos for me will be with a single pole.
