    Exploring the Spiritual Aspect of the Camino as a Catholic Pilgrim

    Hi Kathar1na, as I wrote, when I was preparing for my first Camino 2016, there was little information about O Cebreiros on this forum. And seven years have passed since then :) and I'm not a fan of guides

    Exploring the Spiritual Aspect of the Camino as a Catholic Pilgrim

    What is interesting to me here is what FrJimKingcsc mentioned, how many pilgrims declared that they came to the Camino for religious reasons. Now there is no more data in the statistics, but according to memory, about 40% of pilgrims went for religious reasons, about 40% for religious and other...

    The spirit of Camino

    It is completely normal that I have a different view of the spirit of Camino than you, or someone else. What would this world look like if everyone thought the same. When I opened this thread, I knew that people experience or feel the spirit of Camino differently. and no one should feel angry...

    The spirit of Camino

    Thank you jungleboy, I saw your thread later. At school they taught me that "repetition is the mother of wisdom". Which certainly also applies to the Camino;)

    The spirit of Camino

    With respect, I agree. 😇 We have different habits, different cultures, lifestyles, different religions............ We have different occupations, different ages, we live in different environments, city or village ........... But when we come to the Camino, then we are on the Camino. And the...

    The spirit of Camino

    What is the "Spirit of Camino" for you? I've been writing again on the Forum for the last few days and I see the diversity that adorns the Camino. It brings back memories of my three Caminos and what I felt as the "Spirit of Camino". On the first Camino I was 67, last year on the third Camino I...

    Ponferrada - Municipal albergue

    The reason you don't see that albergue is that not all albergues in Ponferrada are listed on Gronze. This happens in all the major places on the Camino, Gronze picks a few albergues and puts them on his list. How they choose, I don't know. edit; try here...

    Valcarlos route

    I walked at the end of May and I must say that there was a lot of water. Small streams were on all sides :) I have to admit that I drank that water. Clean, clear, fresh, cold it simply beckoned you to drink it. And I did it. After that I had no consequences.

    A time apart from daily life?

    I carry a mobile phone and use when it necessary. What is connected to the mobile phone and bothers me, is music. I met pilgrims, slightly younger in age, who were playing loud music from their phones. They were mostly faster than me, so that music lasted about fifteen minutes. You hear them...

    Sarria vs Samos

    My daughter walked the Camino this year and invited me to join her at the end of the Way. We agreed to meet in Samos. When I walked in 2016, I did not take that alternative route so I was glad to see that part of the Camino. I flew to Santiago and took a bus from the airport to Samos. That bus...
