    Priest needing advice on first Camino

    Father C. I am so happy you are considering the Camino. I have been talking with a local LaSalette priest who hopes to do the Camino next Fall. He will be 80 years old! I would suggest a couple of books for you to read- To the Field of Stars: A Pilgrim's Journey to Santiago de Compostela by...

    albergues for sale

    Congratulations Alison and Alex! Have a happy-forever-after, living your dream in Spain. LTfit, my friends and I loved staying at Villares de Orbigo. My photo of the side wall of the albergue, with the clothesline painting, has always been a hit when I have given (a few) Camino talks. Best...

    Camino-themed Baby Names For English Speaker

    I stayed in a gite in SJPdP and the owner's name was Maristella. The meaning is slightly different depending where you look: star or sea star. When I stayed at Albergue A La Sombra Del Laurel the owner was Esperanza: hope. Both of these names seem perfect for a Camino girl!

    Coffee Break Camino for a Camino Presentation

    Awesome video! I am giving a Camino talk/presentation in a few days and plan to have my pack, wear Camino clothing and talk while showing slides.

    Down Outdoor Blankets / Throws

    Although you don't need any more advice I will say that I was really glad I brought a sleeping bag for my Camino (end of April-June 5). I used a Sea to Summit Traveller I bag and it was perfect. Super light and compressed to about the size of a football. If I was cold I would add the albergue...

    Music that Takes You Back to Your Camino

    Music Question At an albergue in Burgos (Divina Pastora) in mid May we heard wonderful music in the morning. I am thinking it was a commerical CD as I believe there were CDs for sale, but maybe it was mix that someone had created. A couple of the songs I remember were John Lennon's Imagine, What...

    Getting a Credencial

    Is there a pilgrim office in Pamplona where one can get a credencial? Three of us will fly into Madrid and make our way to Pamplona, to spend a night, before bussing to SJPDP the next day. If we could get a credencial in Pamplona then we would be able to stay in an albergue instead of a hotel...

    considering canceling my trip :(

    Dear Mrs. Bath, I probably could have written the same post. My pre-Camino excitement has turned to anxiety. I have shopped and packed and even joined a gym for two months. What I haven't done is walked! Well, not more than once a week for about three to five miles. (It's always snowing or below...
