    Where was this place? - and make sure you sniff it out!!!!

    We loved this place, too! As you are leaving, you can take a mini detour to visit San Esteban de Zabaldika, a beautiful little church where you can climb the tower and ring the old bells. (It was one of my favorite Camino moments.) It wasn't specifically on the route we were taking, but a local...

    Musical Instruments on the Camino

    I met a pilgrim in Logroño with a didgeridoo strapped to his pack. I didn't see him again after that, but I'm curious if the didgeridoo made it all the way to Santiago.

    Would you recommend continuing to the ocean after Santiago?

    Yes! Continue to the coast. Even by bus, which is what we did. After the weeks of walking through peaceful landscapes and a lot of tiny pueblos, the crowds in Santiago felt a little stifling and anticlimactic when we arrived - though we did arrive the day before St. James' feast day, when...

    Post-camino tattoo?

    I just got the stylized shell in white on my wrist - I've known I wanted this tattoo ever since I first knew I wanted to walk the Camino, six years ago. It's in white since it's in a such a visible area - it's subtle and will become even more subtle as it fades. I think tattoos are no longer...

    The Coolest Secret Item

    My mp3 player and my kindle were two frivolous items that I really appreciated. Music really helped me to go to sleep in loud albergues, and get through some difficult stretches of walking in the afternoons. And during the lazy afternoons after arriving, sometimes it was really nice to be able...

    I have a blog I've been keeping for years, and this year I've been doing a 365 project - including one photo a day (and some commentary) from my Camino in June/July. http://saracita.wordpress.com/category/ ... -santiago/

    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    We stayed in our first parochial (parish church-run) albergue in Estella - and it was such a positive experience that we specifically planned the rest of our stages to hit as many as we could. We heard fantastic things about the one in Azofra... though it was closed when we arrived, so we stayed...

    SLR Camera (comprehensive list building)

    Seems like you've got a lot of good advice here. I walked most of the Ruta Frances this past summer, and took my Nikon D90 and two lenses. I don't use flash so I got good battery life - only had to change batteries once or twice, and could have done it with just my two backup batteries. Most of...

    Class of 2012

    Hello all - Sara here, a Spanish teacher from Michigan. I've wanted to walk the Camino ever since I first visited Santiago during a brief study abroad in Spain back in 2007. Now, I just found out that I got a Fulbright grant to teach in the Valencia region this coming school year - so I am...
