    Dad & Daughter(s)...Lessons Learned?

    Buen Camino by Peter Murtagh and his 18 year old daughter Natasha would be a good read. They walked the Camino together and you can get both their perspectives.

    Sleeping bag or liner in May?

    Yes, less fumbling about with a sleeping bag. Hope you have a wonderful Camino. Lots of trial and error but then you find out what works best for you. It's all part of the fun too. ☘

    Sleeping bag or liner in May?

    I only had a liner and was sorry I didnt have a light sleeping bag as I found the liners awkard to get in and out of. Maybe if it had a zip but mine didn't.

    20% drop in pilgrim numbers at Roncesvalles

    On my Camino last year I arrived in Santiago Sept 25th along with 641 other pilgrims. I checked up on the official figures for the same day this year and 885 arrived. I expected the figures to be much higher as in pre pandemic years.

    Death of a German pilgrim on the Camino Frances

    I pray for his family at this difficult time. May he rest in peace and find many beautiful Camino's to walk in his heavenly home. A reminder for me to live each day to the full and give thanks for the gift of life and the pilgrims God has given me.

    Looking for Name of Priest Who Says English Mass at Cathedral de Compostela

    Fr Manny, a most lovely man, he took us all out for coffee after Mass in Nov this year and I was very blessed hearing all his stories. His Mass was a highlight for me 2 years ago on another Camino. I think I will write to him too.

    Advice needed — Primitivo at age 70

    I did the Primitivo July 2019, my first Camino and the long descent after Hospidales was the biggest challenge. Also I did not allow enough time for rest days as I had a flight deadline to meet. My advice would be to give yourself plenty of time, rest well and enjoy the beautiful and...

    After the Camino

    The church in Muxia is open, the ships are still hanging from the ceiling and we even got a stamp from the priest, an extra bonus

    Planning for Camino Portugese Coastal Sept - Oct 2022

    I have done it both ways, first on my own without booking in advance and carrying backpack and the second one with a group and using a company. There are pros and cons for both ways, Nativa Travel and Liz, were wonderful, very professional and I would highly recommend this company if you want to...
