    Sarria pilgrims

    “GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid...

    Tissue Paper

    I’ve been on many wilderness trips; mountain biking, kayaking, hiking...Moab Utah, Yellow Knife, Whitehorse. Some of these were organized guided tours, others were just me and friends. In ALL cases it was preached to all members of the expedition “if you pack it in, pack it out!” “Leave no...

    Map of Spanish trails?

    I was wondering if there is a Spanish equivalent of the Grande Randonee French map IGN 903?

    Which flight?

    Hello TinaPEI, we landed in Paris a 07:30 from Vancouver back in September, then connected on to Biarritz with EasyJet right out of CDG, a 5 minute walk to switch terminals after passing through customs. There are several shuttle companies that will take you from Biarritz to St Jean. Given that...

    Not what I expected but...

    It made us both laugh when we saw this as we walked by, but FYI to who ever wrote it...Jesus didn’t start from St Jean either!

    Not what I expected but...

    Some times we are searching so hard for something that we overlook the obvious. It sounds to me like you’re already “getting it”, you just haven’t realized it yet.

    Need to abandon walk!

    Thanks again to everyone for your advice and encouragement, it enabled us to get to Sarria and complete the last 117km to Santiago in 5 days. Some problems and pain but able to continue despite. We arrived in Santiago Oct 12. Stayed an extra day to R&R and catch a flight to Barcelona, to Pisa...

    Don’t Feed The Dogs

    As much as we love them PLEASE DON’T feed the dogs, or even pet them. We had an adorable, lovable dog follow us from Roncesvalles the whole day for 32km. He would follow us and others, run ahead and then wait for people to catch up. He was adorable, lovable, and incredibly adorable, and it was...

    Need to abandon walk!

    Update 2.0 We are on the bus to Leon for R&R. My partners foot problems, other than the blisters which have healed, sharp heel pain after about an hour’s walking. We are going to be looking for better shoes in Leon before bussing to Sarria on Friday. I can’t find a bus that goes to Sarria...

    Need to abandon walk!

    Update! Thanks to all who wrote, for your support and encouragement, and inspiration! We stayed in Santo Domingo today, Sunday, and went to the cathedral, stopped for drinks at a cafe and watched as other pilgrims started to come in from their long day’s walk. We have decided NOT to abandon...

    Need to abandon walk!

    ALSO...since we can’t take our walking poles on the plane with us we will likely go to the tourist office Monday morning and “donate” them (if they will take them) for any needy pilgrims.

    Need to abandon walk!

    Thanks for the advice. Yes the blisters have been dealt with, but there are some deep heel pain issues which require us to stop to avoid potentially more serious injury. Thanks again. And beun Camino.

    Need to abandon walk!

    Thank you everyone for your help. The front desk of the hotel here was very helpful in directing us to the bus station and printed a schedule for Monday (and weekdays) to Bilbao which she suggested has more options for connections. I was here on the Camino in 2001 and have VERY fond memories...

    Need to abandon walk!

    We are in Santo Domingo de la Calzada and need to find the easiest way to get to a major airport or train station. Due to foot problems we have had to abandon our walk at stage #10 in Santo Domingo Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Severe Foot problems

    Sadly due to foot problems we have had to abandon our plans on stage #10 in Santo Domingo de la Calzada. We are trying to find the easiest way to get to an airport close to here where we can get an EasyJet flight to Italy/Rome. Thanks.
