    Salvador must do / don't do

    Hi All, Finally I'm back into Camino planning mode after two years of pandemic originated stays at home. Now I'm looking into the Salvador to walk around 18th of July in 5 or 6 days from León to Oviedo. In Oviedo I will connect with my son and consequently we will do the Primitivo together to...

    Do you know where this is?

    Ah ha thanks whariwharangi for clarifying, I just showed a screenshot of the location Aperture, the photo program, gave me. I have no idea about decimal or minute system. In Aperture it is automatically tight to the map, easy as I like it ;)

    Do you know where this is?

    David, according to Google Maps it is here: http://goo.gl/maps/CfwiR near Camino Cirueña, Santo Domingo de la Calzada, La Rioja. Have a look at the street view and you see more or less your picture, taken in the same time of the year.

    This is totally against Camino spirit but . . .

    Quite recognizable and not easily understood. As you said @Poshlloyd there is a matter of tolerance for the way other people experience their Camino. Unfortunately I experienced in the same period as @Magwood (Hi Maggie) that tolerance is not always a two-way street.

    To camera or not to camera

    I have just returned from my Camino from St Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago and on to Finisterre and Muxia. In preparation for the Camino I have considered this question a lot and decided not to bring my Canon 5D with zoom lens that equals 1,5 kilogram. Instead I brought the new Canon EOS M (only...

    The Camino Experience

    I am surprised by your response @wawpdx as it certainly is not an April Fools post at all. It is a serious project as you will have seen when you checked the link to my website.

    The Camino Experience

    My book is on sale even before it is written! Through a crowdfunding model I am selling "The Camino Experience" as it will be written after I have walked to Santiago this year. That brings a challenge for the reader/buyer, as they will not know what they buy. It may be about the Camino, it may...

    The Way Back

    Ramon, I haven't booked my way back to Amsterdam yet. Looked into the possibilities and noticed that Vueling offers a reasonable priced flight from Santiago via Barcelona to Amsterdam. About the same price as my TGV/Night train ticket to SJPdP. Will book it once I am in Santiago as only then I...

    Changing weather patterns:( make planning difficult

    I am commencing my Camino in two weeks and although it is still unusual cold in The Netherlands and seems to be raining in Spain I tell everyone that I am prepared for rain but won't need the gear as I will have nice weather. Hope St James will honor that statement too :D

    Getting to St Jean pied de port from toulouse

    For me coming from Amsterdam through Paris and Bayonne the train turned out to be the most convenient route. Maybe that will work from Toulouse too, see the SNCF website: http://www.sncf.com/en/passengers
