Hello fellow pilgrims!
I am loath to even write the question, because I would sooner never speak of politics ever again! However.... I DO live in Washington DC, which, on my last Camino did lend itself to MANY people asking my opinion of Donald Trump. I shan't go into my opinion one way or...
Hello all!
After hearing about my Camino experience last May, my mom has decided she would like to walk the Camino with me. We are planning for early May 2019. I loved the Camino Portuguese, but would like to experience another route. She only wants to do the last 100 km. That being said, would...
I believe I may have encountered this same man. I was en route from Ponte de Lima to Rubiaes. I was walking alone. He was an older man, maybe 60ish. He started talking to me and I told him I didn't speak Portuguese (all my responses were in Portuguese). He followed me, peppering me with...
I know I am late to reply, but thank you all! I am halfway through now - moreso actually. About 100 km to Santiago. Oh boy it's been hard but wildly amazing and worth everything. Again, thank you all - I am allllllmost there! Ultreya!

@Clark sounds good! I have rented a room through Air BnB just for my first night in Porto, then plan to do alburgues and B&Bs the rest of the time. I am planning on heading out around 7am I think on the 20th, though I have been told not to "make plans" for the Camino. Hope to see you on the...
Hello all! This past Monday, I stubbed my toe.. long story short, I decided to get to the doctor because of my upcoming Camino plans. The x-ray confirmed that I broke my right little toe at the base. I know everyone has different pain thresholds, are physically fit in different ways, etc., but I...
