    Random thing that made you smile on Camino?

    Watching my companion try, in vain, to coax a "Hello" out of a caged parrot in a backyard next to the CP...then trying again with a different parrot in a different backyard two days later. As we walked away we heard a deep "¡Hola!" The look on my companion's face as she realized the parrot...

    Daily Musings from the Portuguese Coastal

    Beautiful and thank you, Nick! I'm hoping to walk Porto-Baiona next year - how do I get to this "beach of crystals"?

    American Airlines canceled my direct flight to Madrid / seeking guidance for getting to Oviedo as planned

    Compostelas for Dummies

    Kudos first for posting a "how-to" for obtaining the Compostela. I only wish it had been posted prior to my arrival in Santiago. As a regular reader of this Forum for two years now, I had no idea I was supposed to register online ahead of time. The security guard told us to come back tomorrow...

    Pack it in, pack it out

    To all fellow pilgrims, I wish to say that my first Camino (Portuguese Coastal) was wonderful and I am still processing the many blessings. However, I was very sad to see one thing: many tissues and wipes on the ground where people stepped off the route to relieve themselves. Please, let's...
