    One day walk into Santiago

    I have one day in santiago, been here for a day. I need help deciding where to walk for the day as it would be a shame to come to Santiago and not walk. Any suggestions which camino would pleasant to take a bus to and walk back into Santiago tomorrow. Raine

    Did you meet "The One" on the Camino

    I met the one on the camino too, but outside the camino our lives were not compatible. So I called it off six weeks before the wedding :-)

    It was Jim. But in all honesty I wouldn't recommend it, but As usual the camino blessed me with personal growth, insights and awareness. I wouldn't recommend doing it right now, but I would do it again because the call to the camino was stronger than the caution for covid

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Finished walking the Camino del Norte via the Primitivo

    Finished the camino on the 4th September after walking mainly solo for 28 days from Bayonne to Santiago via the primitivo. Reaching Santiago was no different from all other pilgrimages, but the spirit on the camino was différént, but covid did not kill it. The camino is still filled with love...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Live from the primitivo

    The camino has always been an endurance test. It helps me overcome my fears , get to know myself better and clarify my thoughts. I dont use it as a vacation, but it is where I go within myself and grow . But don't know how growth will happen today on the steepest climb with only 4 hrs sleep...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Live from the primitivo

    We are in clusters and small bubbles and we stick to them. But in spirit its like any other camino. We greet each other warmly but New pilgrims are greeted cautiously with masks. Most of the open albeurges are very strict. We get fumigated at the door, temperature taken and our rucksacks...

    Thank you. I was on the del norte and now I am walking from oviedo to grade. My 3rd day on the primitivo via villaviscosia. The huddling with other pilgrims was in clumps. Those that walk together naturally stuck together and enough social distancing is maintained outside. Though inside...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid19 safety on the primitivo

    After testing negative for covid. I made it to the camino :). The accommodation from Bayonne to Bilbao was patchy, but glad i brought a tent along. 3 weeks later I started the primitivo yesterday and was surprised to find an albeurge. I am hoping that the weather stays brilliant for walking...

    I managed to travel after a negative covid test. And I started my camino from Bayonne. I was lucky to find somewhere yo sleep, as some albeurges don't operate on weekends in Bayonne and guethary. Most municipal albeurges are closed and there are pilgrims walking but not a lot. About a handful...

    Thank you for a thought provoking response. I have made sure that its financially viable for me to walk and at your urging i have taken a covid test because it will be irresponsible to spread Covid in Spain if I am infected. First tests are clear but final results will come on Thursday. that...

    Thank you. I will let a covid test decide for me, although I believe I had it in January. Thank you for the insight. Beun Camino
