    They are a most inconsiderate lot indeed

    Cathedral Closed...Is the Camino still worth it?

    There are many many occasions on the Camino to acknowledge and indeed practice your faith. There are literally hundreds of wonderful churches to visit and stay a while should you care to. The magnificent cathedral in Burgos is truly one of the greatest churches in the world, Leon too has one...

    Sprained ankle on day 1- what to do?

    Oh that is bad luck. If it was broken you would know. Major swelling, pain and bruising. Whilst sprains can be painful, it’s not as bad as breaks. RICE Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation is the key. I know it’s painful but getting that joint into a bucket of ice water is the absolute best to...

    Cathedral scaffolding

    I totally agree. Well worth the journey see it in all its splendour. We too were there in 2017 and were a little disappointed, but finishing the Camino was too great to let a little scaffolding sour the event

    Stuff I was wrong about - And Trail Runners

    Why don’t you try Salomon. They are very durable, and above all, much lighter than Merrills etc.

    Racial discrimination on the Camino

    You should just plan to have the walk of your life. You won’t find any racial discrimination on the Camino Frances. Buen Camino

    Burst my camino bubble.

    Relax and enjoy it. My friend told me not everything, and I'm glad he didn't. The Camino always provides. You will hear things that may not even happen. This is a "Life" experience. Enjoy the anticipation and adventure. We have been home now 2 months, and there is not a dat goes by the Csmino...

    Compostela Craziness!

    Got there pre 0900hrs. First in best dressed. The packs of wannabes in uniform singing Buen Camino at everybody they skip past from Sarria onwards are more of a disappointment. There should be a separate completion recognition for them, but really it's all about the wonderful things going on in...

    RYAN AIR Check-in Beware

    I made the mistake of flying Ryan Air from Lisbon to Naples after our Camino, booking with them is like dancing through a mine field. It's expensive and very difficult. They are a third world organisation with absolutely NO customer service. I guess I just grateful we actually flew
