    Finding Camino Patches

    I found it after finishing our Ponferrada to Santiago de Compostela camino on March 2nd. I've been many times, and got a few of my favorite patches. It is loaded with every patch one could ask for, and the owner is a joy to see each time I go to Santiago. My new favorite patch is the Galicia...

    Thank you. That location helps to narrow it in for me. I wanted to avoid a long search.

    Finding Camino Patches

    I’ve been to a store 2-3 times in the past several years that has every sew on patch imaginable. Over 100 types with routes, distances and years.

    Is food being served in the parochials?

    Sahagun’s Marist parochial is open, and had a lovely community tea, and mass but no community dinner on 11/7. Leon on 12/7was open and very full, vespers with the sisters as usual. Yes. You read that right. 55k in a day. It’s one way through the end of the meseta. Skip the bus and walk for 12...

    Rates and reservations, 2 warnings - July 2021

    Simply saying I have walked a few Camino Frances’. One was the Holy Year of 16’ that was very crowded- and that was the exact same time of year. 19’ was October. I have some good perspective. There are a lot of pilgrims, the Camino feels a great deal more normal than I’d expected. Lots of...
