Hey Man I'm doing all those things and trying to be a good Pilgrim. Some support would be nice. Getting tired of a lot of the overall judgment and meanness of late on all these forums
You know what astounds me? Today EVERYONE I approached on the route about this was grateful
I had it, took a photo of it to share, made a sign to attach to this bag hanging off my pack asking “Is this yours” and just generally tried to help. However here and on groups I shared this with I get...
FYI I did approach a police officer about this who was keeping an eye on things. We both agree it was “Pilgrim stuff” and it was ok for me to try and locate the owner.
i found this bag this morning around 7 am leaving Rendondela. It has valuables as well as shoes and a change of clothes. I waited 10 minutes for whoever owned it to return. it was on a stone bench just as you left town. because the town was crawling with revellers returning from Vigo i did...
I first walked the Camino Francis in 2017. Did a bunch after that on other routes and did the Francis again last year. Was it different? Yes. Post covid everything is different. Was it crowded? That is a hard one to answer. I personally had more encounters and ran into more people at cafe...
Its not as cheap as the Frances but its pretty comparable. I was on the Frances again last year and prices were up for meals by about 1 to 2 euros. For a "meal." I would bank on spending about $12 Euro per person for a pilgrim meal if they are offered. I seem to remember on the Portugese...
I have been eyeing this route for quite some time. Then covid. Then the hurricane. So I am going to be curious how it is now as far as infrastructure after all the storm damage from last year. I will also be interested in the cost. I am guessing this would be similar in cost and...
Well that escalated quickly. I happen to like the original post. Unlike many of the responses, I took it as meaning that sometimes when you walk alone as a woman, there are groups of men or simply a man who have little if any spacial awareness and that is a pain in the a** . I don''t walk in...
The suffering I do on a camino is the work I do to hold space for those who need to point out - yet again - how one needs to do a camino in order to achieve maximum benefit.
I am also curious about this. I am not interested in renting a car. Also I just checked by the way tours And all they seem to be offering is package tours for portions of various Caminos. Not day trips
I did it last year from Lausanne to Rome but it ended up being a MUCH different camino than what was intended or what is traditionally considered "walking the VF". I ended up doing my own thing and doing other walking and hiking routes in Italy. Which is to say I loved Italy and the trails...
