    Story: The 3 Camino Amigos – Why it started to fall apart on the Camino Frances (and a Question)

    This is the reason I like to walk alone. I don’t want someone telling me what I should do. My husband planned on walking in May but COVID cancelled that. He wanted me to walk with him. I told him no because he needed to walk his own Camino. I know he was disappointed, but I got so much out of...

    Good resources for would-be expats? (US citizen in ES or PT)

    When you renounce citizenship, don’t you also forfeit your social security, which is my main means of income.

    This is terrible but I don’t know how to private message. I’m interested in the Portuguese guide, if you haven’t already promised it. Thanks. You can pm me, if it’s possible.

    Slippery When Wet? Trail runners on Portuguese tiled walkways

    I feel the same about my Altra Superior 4. I love the feel (first pair of shoes wide enough), but I almost slid across the marble floor. They’re great for walking around town and the treadmill.

    RONCESVALLES first floor accommodation

    I stayed there in 2015. I always referred to it as the dungeon, because that’s what it felt like. A great way to start because it got better every day 😇

    Camino Fances - walking Pic D'Orisson - taking a cab back nd starting next morning

    I couldn’t get a bed in Orisson, so I did basically that. I walked to Orisson, with no backpack, had lunch, and rode with an Orisson employee back to St. Jean. Next morning, one of the workers picked me up (I was on the road, waiting), had breakfast on the patio and finished my walk. I could...

    Municipal closed in zubiri and larrasoana

    Sorry, I didn’t see this until today. It was right over the bridge, the first right turn. Almost immediately. Pretty nondescript. 12 females in one room with two, full bathrooms. Other rooms had both male and female. No idea what they looked like. Dinner was great. I hope this isn’t too late...

    Portugal Coastal Route from Porto

    Ok, sounds good. I believe we will be doing the Coastal. I have been following all the Portuguese posts and that’s really been recommended. It’s supposed to be beautiful. But I think we need to look at the weather, too. It might be real rainy then.

    September/April for Pyrenees

    I walked it the last week of September. Going over the mountains was beautiful. The sun was out and I was in heaven. I was in short sleeves the whole day. A few days later I saw a friend’s posting on Facebook. He was five days ahead of me and he had torrential rains. I didn’t even know he...

    Monastery of San Xulián de Samos

    I also loved the walk in and out of Samos. The Monastery was worth it to me.
