  I hope I don’t sound like one of those agitated new forum members who just gets on the forum to vent about an awful experience and then goes away and never comes back. I am agitated and I do want to vent, though! When I go to the Camino, I...

  I have been reflecting on my four Caminos recently. My experience as I walked them ranged from being wonderful to being challenging - from literally loving to hating. I have had the thought that I liked one better than another - preferred one...

  The Camino Frances is certainly the best known route for sure and probably a good first Camino due to it's overall availability of everything, but I wouldn't really say it has any real 'magical' pull over alternative routes. You literally...
