    Your portrait of Paul from Holland is a brilliant character study!

    A Camino medical tale with a few lessons

    I was very interested to read about your experience. Like you and @AnneMarie1 I too had to seek help from the Spanish health system on my camino last year. I was extremely worried about an acute problem with urination – I'll spare you the details – but I was taken to Estella hospital by my...

    If you can access this film, please try to do so!

    Is this the one which has Glen Hansard in the crew? He was the musician who played the lead in a brilliant Irish fim called Once.

    N135 Puerto de Erro to Zubiri

    I’ve often been tempted to give you all a geology lecture about the descent to Zubiri, but have held back for obvious reasons. I have however waxed lyrical about it in my almost-ready-to-go book about the geology of the camino. Zubiri gets a chapter of its own. I’ll give you a brief rundown in...

    N135 Puerto de Erro to Zubiri

    With great patience, and on foot. For you, it would have come at the end of a long day, and that would definitely add to the stress. For me, I had plenty of time.

    N135 Puerto de Erro to Zubiri

    Look, I'm a bicigrino, and the first time on the descent to Zubiri I took the road being aware of the track's reputation. Last year I walked down the trail with my loaded bike because I wanted to look at the geology. The track is fine for the most part except for relatively frequent short...

    Caminos for cycling that are not very hilly.

    OK I'm going to chime in here. Robert, I'm 3 years older than you and have been cycling caminos since 2012. I chose to go by bike because my knees are pretty shot, and walking with a backpack to the supermarket and back would be a pipe dream. All my caminos except the last (2023) have been quite...

    Shantiago - a Camino song in shanty style

    I actually liked the graphics, despite the fact that they resembled more a video game version of the camino (not that I'm familiar with that medium). I mentioned that I was going to google Sean Hampton. The results wre not enlightening. I don't know anything about computer graphics, but surely...

    Shantiago - a Camino song in shanty style

    @Bradypus this is brilliant! I’m assuming that the artwork is some sort of AI generated. It has a weirdly seductive, other-worldly feel. A lot of talent went into this. I’m going to google Sean Hampton.

    Caminos for cycling that are not very hilly.

    Are you intending to hire a bike, or bring your own, (from where)?

    @HappyToBeBeBe, the three best pieces of advice above which all resonate with me are: and and Perhaps it is a blessing in disguise that he suddenly has the time available to do this.

    Entry to the Cathedral

    Fascinating. Maybe his grandson will crop up next? Is there any writing on the wall?

    Time for more compostela type certificates?

    If anyone is confused, I just deleted a post that was intended as a PM for a forum member.
