    Do you need to stay at an albergue to access their luggage transfer service?

    I can also vouch for Caminofacil. Based on our experience, they are more expensive but they have an English-speaking contact that can be easily reached on Whatsapp, they're very efficient and will do their best to accommodate your request. We stayed mostly in private rooms, I just sent them the...

    Safety concerns: First time walking Camino Portuguese as a female traveller

    @Goldenfrapucino Just to add to what has already been said, during our recent camino on the CF I was pleasantly surprised by the large number of women peregrinos (both young and not so young) we met who were walking alone. All of them were confident about their safety and had no issues about...

    Does anyone know of any shorter pilgrimage routes around the world?

    This is not Catholic but it is a spiritual pilgrimage and could be what you're looking for. Buen Camino! https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4952.html

    Auberge Borda

    @Caminoelle We stayed in Borda on Oct 5 2023. Laurent or Lorenzo, as he wanted us to call him, initially came across as a rather stern schoolmaster on the first day of school 😁 But he's actually a nice guy. He'll tell you the story of how he acquired the property and converted what used to be a...

    @J Wilhaus, Congrats and more power to you 💪. Congrats to Phil as well, Spanish is a beautiful language to learn at any age especially for an English speaker 👊

    Hahaha 🤣 I tried pulpo a few times but never liked it (it's like chewing fish-flavored gum, the last time it was so disgusting I had to spit it out) I think it's an acquired taste. Buen Camino!

    LIVE from the Camino Sarria to Santiago winter Camino

    Thanks for the update. That bed bug and grape stories are funny🤣 Out of interest, are there enough of other peregrinos on the trail at this time? (You mentioned some Koreans at your first albergue.) The reason I ask is because based on my experience with traveling in a group, the group members...

    Ah yes, the power of prayer. I can vouch for this on a personal level. Will be praying for you and your students as well as the hospitalera and her mother. Buen Camino and God bless! Happy New Year too since you'll be spending it on the Camino🥰

    Hmmm, interesting. This is the first time I've seen something that links the Camino to an intellectual and academic exercise. IMHO the reflections can only be beneficial. Perhaps you can encourage them to post their reflections in this forum if they are so inclined. It may benefit other...

    @J Wilhaus I think this elective is very interesting. Do they have to write a paper/essay about their experience on the Camino as part of the course? Buen Camino and Happy New Year!

    Man arrested for sexual assault on a peregrina in Nájera

    This is speculative but the driver himself may have reported you to the Guardia Civil (GC) considering your condition when he picked you up. He may have thought something worse happened to you and was concerned. In our recent Camino on the CF, we were always happy whenever we saw a GC car parked...
