    Beware of thieve disguised as peregrinos

    Ha, Thanks a lot. I wish I was there to. But I am sure I will return and make it through! :D

    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    The Albergue Parroquial de Santiago in Logrono is one that no to be missed. It is donative and they provide dinner and breakfast. The dinner they served us was salad and Patatas a la Riojana, plus wine, and it was absolutely the best dinner I had since the beginning of our journey. I strongly...

    Current conditions on Route Napoleon

    I walked SJPDP - Roncevalles two weeks ago, and it was raining badly. The downhill part through the forest can be a bit dangerous when it's raining, it's quite steep and slippery, and it is a really torture to your knees. I certainly recommend taking the alternative route when weather is not...

    What did you cook along the camino?

    I cooked Spanish sausage stew, various salad, pan fried fishes, grilled aubergines with salsa. Raw ingredients are aplenty in Spain, great for cooking!

    Beware of thieve disguised as peregrinos

    Hi Stepanie! It's good to hear to you, hope you are doing al-right with you Camino I made mistake by taking something I can't afford to lose, so it is largely my fault then. I am back at home, getting a new phone, and I am already planning to get back to Camino to finish off the rest of my...

    Beware of thieve disguised as peregrinos

    Hey, you know what, this is exactly the question I was asking myself on my last day after my phone was stolen. On the way I saw a line painted on the road side: "why are you walking?", I don't know really at that point, I didn't think I was ready for the Camino, and the 10 days on Camino seem...

    Beware of thieve disguised as peregrinos

    I hope you can see that there's a bit of desperation in my rightnow. I started the Camino with a completely fresh perspective on people walking around me, and I think that's why it was so enjoyable. But knowing there are organised thieves disguised as peregrinos changed this, and I am just...

    Beware of thieve disguised as peregrinos

    Ha, I was just trying to be kidding. But seems it is a bit overdone. :oops:

    Beware of thieve disguised as peregrinos

    Man, I am not so luck, if it is just my head lamp then I would definitely continue. But there's stuff in my phone that I just can't live without. Now I am at home, and I thank God that my wallet was still with me!!! :wink:

    Beware of thieve disguised as peregrinos

    I agree, this is also something I wanted to say. I pity the one who committed the crime, he will definitely go to hell, and there's no chance he'd avoid that. :twisted:

    Beware of thieve disguised as peregrinos

    Exactly, for me, I have made commitment to other people so that I can get on the Camino, and in some cases(like this) I just have to head back so that those who trusted me are not betrayed. I do regret that I couldn't finish my Camino, but I still think I did the necessary thing.

    Beware of thieve disguised as peregrinos

    Dear Linda, I totally agree, although the urgency to gain access to my data is the very direct reason that I terminated my Camino prematurely. On the other hand, I do feel that the need to keep high alert all the time will ruin the rest of my camino experience, thus I stopped this time so that...

    Beware of thieve disguised as peregrinos

    I definitely think the Albergues should also learn a lesson and improve their infrastructures, usually add lockers and putting more vigorous id checking can be so helpful to the peregrinos, while won't cost a fortune.

    Beware of thieve disguised as peregrinos

    To all of you guys, thank you very much for your sympathy. First, I love my camino and I think I had my happiest 10 days in the past 2 years, so I will definitely return to finish my Camino when I found next opportunity to do it!!! Second, the phone itself is 2.5 years old so it wont worth...

    Beware of thieve disguised as peregrinos

    After nine exceptionally enjoyable days on the Camino, my tenth day started with an unfortunate event which eventually ended my 1st Camino attempt. Basically, my phone was stolen, very possibly by someone who disguised as a peregrino, at Casa del Santo in Santo Domingo de LA Calzada. It...
