    August Babies (surely it's about time?!)

    Why walk the Camino...

    I was wondering why everyone has walked or will walk the Camino. What did you get out of it, or what do you expect from it? I'm so excited (8 weeks and 3 days to go). For me it's a spiritual journey. I've spent the past year trying to learn patience and tolerance. But I'm hoping I'll...

    Planning your trip...

    For those of you who have already done the walk, how did you go about planning the trip? Did you make an itinerary? Or plan to walk so far each day? Also how do you ensure that you have a bed? Thanks.

    'The Pilgrimage' by Paulo Coelho

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've read The Alchemist and am currently reading The Zahir. I wanted to read The Pilgrimage but wasn't sure if I should do it before or after my first walk. I will definitely do it before. Peace, Isa

    St. Jean to Roncesvalles

    Thanks for the info. I keep getting pulled to the Valcarlos. I just have a feeling about it. But if I have to walk alone, I'll probably do the other.

    Madrid recommendations

    St. Jean to Roncesvalles

    I understand there are two routes from SJPDP to Roncesvalles- the High route, or Route Napoleon, and the low route through the Valley of Charlemagne. Which route would you recommend? Thanks, Isa

    Very excited...

    That song is beautiful. I've never seen Man of La Mancha. But when I went to Mexico with my Dad, he bought a statue of Don Quixote. I thought it was hideous, but it grew on me. When my Dad passed away three years ago, my Mom gave me the statue. My Dad's greatest dream was to go to Spain (he...

    Very excited...

    Thanks for the Welcome! I'm studying Egyptology, which I suppose has nothing to do with the Camino. But for me it does. All of my studies are connected with my spiritual life. I wanted to study Egyptian religion (as I believe all religions are connected on a spiritual level) and my...

    Very excited...

    Hi, I am walking around the end of Sept or beginning of Oct, depending on when I finish my MA dissertation. I'm trying to do as much research as possible to enhance my journey. There's alot I want to see along the way. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. Peace!
