Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!
Do not worry -- setting out on such a big journey always seems impossible at first. For the foot, I recommend kinesio tape; I used it for my knees on my Caminos and it did wonders (I've had previous knee surgeries, so I knew going in they would likely give me trouble). Take your time and rest as...- jena.

"You talk too much about the Camino"
I walked my first Camino in April 2014. I began my trip alone, but soon made friends that remain close to me still today (we had a "Camino reunion" in Poland just a few months ago). When I'm feeling homesick for the Camino -- the simplicity, prayer, walking, and comradery, I simply send them a...- jena.

Camino Portuguese -- tips? advice?
Tomas is in Manjarin, which is after Astorga, just after Cruce de Ferro -- so a few days past Burgos. However, when you are in Logrono, there is an albergue run by the church that does community (donativo) dinner followed by a really lovely pilgrim prayer in the church. Since the church and...- jena.

Camino Portuguese -- tips? advice?
Ah yes -- similar to the home of Tomas! Except in the home of Tomas there was no electric or running water; but an amazing night of homemade stew, laughter with fellow pilgrims, and quiet sleep. When you travel Frances, I recommend staying there!- jena.

Camino Portuguese -- tips? advice?
Thank you all for your advice -- is casa Fernanda similar to casa de Tomas in manjarin on the Camino Frances? I stayed there and loved it -- Casa Fernanda will definitely be added to the musts on the pilgrimage.- jena.

Camino Portuguese -- tips? advice?
Thank you so much! I was considering Vila do Conde, so this is reassuring. As is that the path is well marked -- I very much enjoyed the carefree, minimal planning, go where my feet take me approach I took with my first Camino; I will stop worrying so much about planning!- jena.

Camino Portuguese -- tips? advice?
Hello! I will be doing the last portion of the Portuguese camino (Porto to Santiago to Finnestere) in May of this year -- any advice on routes, albergues, or must sees? I completed the Camino Frances in 2014 (SJPP to Santiago) and am excited to be back. My guide book shows multiple routes to...- jena.

Which is the best route for a beginner?
I walked my first Camino in April/May last year and did the Camino Frances, mostly because I was walking solo and wanted the best marked path. There wasn't a big overcrowding problem, though I did run into a few towns where all the albergues were full. There is always silence and solitude to be...- jena.
