    Zubiri albergue Suseia

    I stayed at Suseia May 2015. I had a pleasant stay after the muddy walk from Roncesvalles. I had a chat with one of the persons working there named Alexiy (sp?) who is Ukrainian. With the war in the Ukraine, I am wondering how he and his family are doing. He mentioned that he usually visits his...

    Manila, Philippines

    A couple of years back Fr Manny Domingo used to offer pilgrim masses every third (?) Sunday of the month at the open air chapel of the Sunday Legaspi Market. He was re-assigned to a different parish and those pilgrim masses ended. The last time I communicated with him, he was on his way to...

    Camino Pilgrim from the Philippines

    I believe this thread (although a few years back (https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/documents-for-schengen-visa-information-for-some-nationalities.33618/)0 is still applicable in your situation. I met a group of Filipinos (June 2015) walking the CF from Sarria although it...

    Camino Pilgrim from the Philippines

    ¡Buen camino, Meliza! Although there were only a few Filipinos (compared to other nationalities), I was fortunate to meet a Filipina in Zubiri and a group (see attached) near Sarria. Fr Manny recognized a pilgrim from his parish. This was May-June 2015. Carlos H

    Camino Pilgrim from the Philippines

    Hello, Joseph! I did not stay in Grañon. I was at Santo Domingo de la Calzada. I missed out on the albergue experience over there based on my conversation with other pilgrims. In one of the albergues, an Italian co-pilgrim wanted to see my RP passport as he has never seen one. As my...

    Camino Pilgrim from the Philippines

    Hello, kapwa peregrino! I just recently completed the CF (SJPDP - SdC) last June 20. It took me 32 days with a rest day in Leon. I met my first Filipino on the second day of my camino (we stayed in the same albergue). She was the only other Pinoy I encountered until I reached Sarria where I...

    Class of 2015

    As planned, I finished the CF when I arrived at SdC last Friday (19 June) and took the bus the following day (20 June) to Finisterre. This forum helped me greatly. Although I started walking alone, it was easy to hook up with other likeminded pilgrims that I finished the Camino with two (2) new...

    Hello! My name is Carlos. I first heard the about the Camino in 1997 when I was living in Madrid and visited Santiago de Compostela and saw the pilgrims on their way to the Cathedral. I knew I had to do it someday when I have the time and the resources. The stars aligned this year (2015)...
