    Blind companion on Camino Portugues?

    Hi! I walked my forst camino in 2016. I met a blind man there and his helper. It was very special and awesome so see them walk. Louis, who was blind, walked very close behind the helper. They must have rehersed this for a long time. They did not touch each other, but almost. In that way Louis...

    Training Program

    I think that 20 - 30 km when your feet are already tired is the problem. It takes some time for your feet and legs to restitute after that. So I don't wonder why you do not progress. Less weight in your backpack would also be progressive. If I can walk 15km 3 times a week, with a 5 kg rucksack...

    My Unconventional Trekking Pole Technique

    I prefer to walk without poles. I did invest i poles in JPP since everybody told me how necessary they are. But I was lucky enough to forget them one day, and that improved my walking a lot. Later I bought a stick and that might be my choice again.

    Is the Camino for the poor??

    I met a man on my Camino, who walked without money. He had very little clothes, a sleeping bag, his mobile phone and nothing else in his backpack. He did not beg, but sometimes people gave him money, food et cetera. You could call him a vagabond; but he had his personal reasons for doing this...

    Is it okay to want to walk the Frances alone?

    I my opinion - the way you think of your Camino is absolutely, the right Camino. The pace . the pauses, the choice of albergue. You don't risk pushing yourself or getting slower for that matter, which is both hard in equally physical and mental sense. You also get easier contact with others when...

    Curious about achievability of Camino at 50, slow walker

    At the age of 51, I experienced very much the same as you do. In the end I had much pain after walking less than 1 km. Then someone told me that I coud be allergic to gluten. I gave it a try. Removed bread and flour, and with that everything that had gluten in it, as I read the ingredient list...

    If You have Walked the Camino - Do you prefer boots or trail runners?

    My favorit is Fivefingers. Always. Whereever I am - Whatever I do. I have fivefingers for everything also the Camino. They are light weight, easy dry, very flexible on difficult paths e.c. My first Camino (2014) I wore Solomon boots. They were OK, but heavy and dry slowly in bad weather, and...

    Santiago to Finisterre????

    St. Jacob came to Fisterre/Muxia from the Holy Land and he started to evangelize there. When Mary - the mother of God came to Comfort Jacob she arrived in her boat to Muxia. When St Jacobs burial place was found, the queen had it removed to Santiago de Compostela, where it is today. When we end...
