New Camino del Norte book launching now!
Available on Amazon in paperback & Kindle
We’ve written a fairly unconventional book about the Camino del Norte that combines our real life experience with practical information about the route itself. We sincerely hope new and veteran peregrinos will...
YES! Thanks Bradypus. Here's the link for anyone who is interested. Not a bad idea to have this installed on your phone. https://www.euroweeklynews.com/2019/03/01/have-you-got-alertcops/#.XkuxKShKhPY
Hello All,
I remember hearing about a mobile app through which you can report incidences on the Camino. Not sure if it's a Camino thing or a Spain thing in general. Anyone that can point me in the right direction?
The book is called 'The Camino Provides: A Curious Guide to the Camino del Norte,' ... in edits now. It's a combo memoir and unconventional guidebook. Can't wait to share it with you all! Next is the Camino Ingles addition (did the walk this past autumn, now need to write it up...
We would love...
My family and I are considering renting for the month of August somewhere along the Frances while we finish our book about the Camino. No walking as husband has a bad injury, but we just want to be around the Camino vibe as we write. We'd like to be somewhere that a car is not necessary, might...
Hello Pilgrims,
We just returned from completing the Ingles with our six-month old baby boy. We actually started in Ireland, then flew to Spain to connect with the Ingles. This is called the 'Celtic Camino,' and we did about 170km total. He was no stranger to the Camino - last year while walking...
Hi,
We are walking the ingles with our baby this September. Wondering if anyone could shed some light on how suitable the surfaces are for a buggy. We have an all-terrain model with pump up bicycle style tires.
We did the Norte last year and that definitely would’ve been tough with the buggy...
Update: went to pilgrim office today. I told our attendant that I was pregnant and didn’t expect a Compostela for the baby, but asked for a distancia. He replied that he could add, in Latin, ‘boy or girl Ryle’ (Ryle is the surname) to my Compostela. He did without any further questioning...
Love all these replies! SO funny! We will let you all know how it works out in the pilgrims office... will go on the 22nd. Yes, surprisingly by the second week of walking I suppose we had gotten fit enough to care about stuff that can result in babies! Anyway, it was a fluke and totally a...
Well, after walking a month from Irún on the Camino Norte, we found out a few days outside of Santiago that I am pregnant, and the lil one was definitely conceived on the Camino! Was wondering how I could be getting more and more tired... it’s exciting and gives a whole new meaning to our...
Update: since my original post, I’ve heard from several women. Flashers who sound like the same guys have been spotted from Islares to cobreces, a 94km spread. Two men in all cases. It must be the same guys.
If you want to do something productive, report it to Spanish police on behalf of other...
No worries everyone, i am personally protected by an Irish hobbit and an Austrian giant. Planning to report it once I get exact location. I saw in past threads there were two men near cobreces a few months back doing the same. My guess is it’s the same guys. I’m determined to do something about...
