    Did your Camino fail or exceed your expectations?

    Thank you, John. Kind words, indeed. I've rarely not accomplished what I set out to do, so this "failure" stunned me. You're right, though -- there is joy to be had in other ways. Thanks for the reminder. Laura

    Did your Camino fail or exceed your expectations?

    Thank you, Lise, for offering such consoling words. Much appreciated. A friend of mine also mentioned that I did indeed walk part of the Camino, and that I should be proud of that. I don't think that I have yet accepted what I did manage as an accomplishment yet, though. Some day, perhaps...

    Did your Camino fail or exceed your expectations?

    My failure was a lack of persistence. I failed myself. I thought I was a superwoman, since my training beforehand was miraculous, but I learned quite quickly that I wasn't as strong as I thought I was. I regret that I didn't last longer on the Camino, and I will keep this failure in my heart...

    Barcelona to Montserrat help needed please.

    Hello Greg, I'm planning to walk the Camino Catalan and the Camino Aragones this Fall and have put together some information you might find useful. The attached file takes you from Montserrat to Burgos, with a detour up and down the Pyrenees (just for fun). The information is mostly in...

In September, 2013, I'll be leaving from Montserrat (near Barcelona) on the Camino Catalán por San Juan de la Peña, then on to the Camino Aragonés to Jaca, uphill to Somport, downhill back to Jaca, and then onwards until I feel ready to...

    Hello David, I'll be starting at Montserrat, near Barcelona, in September of 2013, and plan to walk until my feet tell me that it's time to stop. I may make it as far as Burgos (via el Camino Catalán and el Camino Aragonés, up and over the Pyrenees, linking up to the Camino Francés at...

    Class of 2013

    Hello Karen, I feel as you do, "now or never" and I, like you, have lost a ton of weight getting ready for my camino on the Camino Catalán and Camino Aragonés in the fall of 2013. It's been wonderful, I swear! The process and the results are both terrific -- enjoying the training (long...

    Camino Catalan

    Hello, Laura here. I'm planning to walk from Montserrat (near Barcelona) for as far as I can manage in 4-6 weeks or so in the Fall of 2013. Is there anyone who has taken this route or is there anyone who wants to join me either in the walk or in the planning? Do send me a message! Laura in Montreal

    Class of 2013

    Hello Geneviève. I'm Laura, also from Montreal, and also trying to arrange my work schedule so that I can start my camino in Barcelona in the fall of 2013. I'd love to get your advice and hear about your experiences, if I may. I've loved reading the posts here.... I'm rather shy about talking...
