    Injury that ended Camino

    So sorry about your friends accident. However, it was so wonderful to hear of how the Spanish people rallied around and helped your friend. It unfortunately doesn't surprise me the treatment you received back home. Sad to say. I've walked 5 caminos and each time I receive the kindest and most...

    Camino Pre-Planning - Backpack or luggage?

    Peregrinas, did you use your urination device on your camino?

    I brought my She-Wee the first camino and never used it. Left it home on the next two. Leave it home. Everyone is considerate and gives you privacy when possible. Besides that, there are many towns that you can use the bano Buen Camino

    Easiest Physically Camino Route

    I live in Kingwood so I’m close. Last year I walked almost every day to help prepare me for the CF. I went to the gym and got on the treadmill and racked it up to help build strength for the climbs I never were coming. I’m not young but pretty decent shape since I bike like crazy. Anyway I did...

    They are out to get me

    I think wearing bright colors or doing the stick idea would help. Again today while walking towards Arcos N206 nasty business. However I will say drivers tried hard to give me space. It’s a gorgeous walk though even with tight roads. I’m thoroughly enjoying myself.

    Camino Ingles

    I walked it in October - My advice is to be prepared with water and food. Unlike the CF, it's sparse when it comes to cafes and watering holes. I was surprised too that there were so many hills. I shouldn't have been, but was....have a great time - really pretty scenery on the ocean.

    I am leaving tomorrow to Pamplona from Houston. Anyone starting the Camino Frances April 2nd?

    Hello fellow Houstonian, I walked the CF same time you are starting out last year. Really wet - 8 days straight, but it was wonderful just the same. I'm headed to the CP - central route 29 April. Buen Camino to You!
