    SJPP to Santiago in 30 days?

    Hi! I can share my itinerary I've followed a few times now, with longer days partly because of time restrictions as a teacher, but also because I love walking longer days. This would need to be adjusted in case albergues are closed for the season (San Bol for example, which has closed Oct. 1st...

    Do top bunks stop bed bugs?

    Nope! Top bunks are where bedbugs have their rooftop (bedtop) dance parties! A hospitalero friend did once point out to me that if you're in a top bunk, bedbugs can't fall down on you from a bed above. However, I and others have been munched up there before. How rude, hey?! Hoping for another...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Santo Domingo de la Calzada Suffering

    Could someone please translate for me? I understand most of the article, but does it indicate how many children have died? That's the detail Google Translate is letting me down on! Thank you!

    Post a picture of your credential!

    I have some wonderful stamps from post offices along the Camino Francés! It took me more than one Camino to learn that many post offices have them though. If you go in, know that most, if not all, have at least two different variations. I got two in Puente la Reina, for example, and Burgos has...

    Post a picture of your credential!

    Wow! The Canadian one is very different from my CCoP one I had on my first Camino in 2010! I'm glad to see they've switched to a folding style. Mine was sheets of cardstock paper folded in half to make a stapled booklet, with a bright lime green cover. The paper came away from the staples and...

    Sello "timing"?

    How would the volunteers at the Pilgrim's Office in Santiago possibly know if a pilgrim got two stamps for the day, five minutes apart, unless the pilgrim said so, or the volunteer could look it up in some kind of a sello database? Not likely, I think (even if such a database were possible)...

    Best Poncho in the Universe

    I just got back from the Camino Portugués the day before yesterday and I am still very much in love with my Altus. :) I wore it in full-body mode one day (full length), and tied up in folded-under mode (like my photos earlier) on a couple of other days. What I love about the IKEA poncho is...

    Broke Pilgrim Leaving in a Month

    "Oh my gosh" was my first response to your post, happyhippie13, because I'm on my seventh Camino right now, and only once did I spend 900 CAD (outside of airfare -- I mean when I was walking). That was on my first Camino in 2010 when I didn't know yet how to budget. Right now I'm on the Camino...

    LIVE from the Camino Obanos Albergue

    What is it being attributed to, Rebekah? It's been a change for me to be on the Camino Portugués this year, fewer pilgrims than on the Francés!

    Portuguese Camino advice needed

    Well, you never know how Camino meetings are going to go! I just realised Katie who I happened to meet yesterday in Vila do Conde, and who I'm at the same albergue as tonight, is Katie on this thread. :D I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's a small big world. <3 Imagine that!

    Free ALTUS Poncho

    Hurray! I'll send you a private message on here. Thank you!

    Free ALTUS Poncho

    Lucky person who will get to claim it! I happily and thankfully would but I'm not going to be in Santiago until two weeks from now. Could there be somewhere you could leave it for pick-up later? Or would you prefer only to give it over in person? That's a kind gesture on your part, either way...

    Portuguese Camino advice needed

    That's great to read, as i plan on 9 days to Santiago but have found it a bit tricky figuring out stops with albergues on the Coastal route that won't mean a super long day before my feet are conditioned -- the Central route appears to be more straight like an arrow with more regularly spaced...

    Best Poncho in the Universe

    Yes, isn't that funny, David, how we have opposite preferences about poncho sleeves, and such different definitions of what freedom means for our arms! :D I still have time before my next Camino to wear the IKEA one around. Maybe it will endear itself to me. Either way, three cheers for...
