    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Santiago this morning

    It is indeed sad to see public spaces so empty, and here in my hometown of San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato Mexico, all processions and special masses of Semana Santa have been cancelled... however, we still revel in the joyous sunrise bathing the Parroquia, and the purple pyrotechnics of the...

    What do you do when you cannot walk anymore?

    Stuck this ponderable in my sketchbook for my first Camino in 2016, solo, age 73. It was a joyful challenge and I was well chuffed to have seen it through.

    Disparaging "The Way"

    I believe that the film is not about the Camino de Santiago... rather, it is a story of the transformation of the Martin Shean character, and the Camino is the vehicle for that change...as it is for most of us (in varying degrees) who have walked the way.

    Do they speak English ? Clues ? ?

    There are still Esperanto clubs all over the world...perhaps guidebooks in Klingon might soften those monolingual barriers!

    The use of blackmail in the internet.

    Arturo, as you know, I too passed a night in your beautiful and welcoming Albergue San Miguel a couple of years ago. I think that my experience there is typical of of a far greater number of pereginos than those who might repay a friendly host with hostility. You (and Piero) and Albergue San...

    Clothes washing - what to use?

    I agree...great product. (Even the lemony one!!)

    I think I’m ready, but I have a couple of questions...
