    Tips for a Smooth Visit to the Pilgrim's Office in Santiago?

    Thanks so much, I’ll give it a go at my morning café con leche!

    Tips for a Smooth Visit to the Pilgrim's Office in Santiago?

    Thank you so much for the info provided around registering for a Compostela, and indeed for asking the question @ LesBrass. I had no idea things had changed, somehow I missed this in the last few months before flying out from Australia in April 🙄🤷🏼‍♀️ Currently walking the Norté not far from...

    LIVE from the Camino A walk on the Camino Del Norte

    How lovely that you can resume your Camino with your son Chrissy! We had booked the Camino del Norte for August 2020, but obviously that wasn’t meant to be 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m thanking God or some other Higher Power now, since having just walked from San Sebastián last week to Santander today and I think...

    Brands of tea in Spain

    Very informative, thank you! And I have seen the kettles with different water temperatures here in Australia for very particular folk 😉

    Brands of tea in Spain

    Thanks for opening up this discussion about tea, really helpful for a wannabe peregrinas starting the CdN next April. I am someone who is not fully conscious until a mug of tea has been imbibed first thing, and use a range of brands plus (shock horror) soy milk!! 😆 So it probably doesn’t matter...

    2020 - to you All

    Thank you for thinking of us in Australia. Yes, our beautiful country is on fire 😩😭 and still another 2 months of Summer to go...... hard not to start ranting about the ostrich like mentality of our leaders in denying the existence of climate change when faced with such overwhelming evidence to...

    North Camino booked :) a few questions , help and advise please :)

    Hi Mairi, just wondering which part of the Norte did you walk? We are walking in mid Aug - mid Sept 2020, feeling a little concerned now it may not be easy to find beds without reserving them every step of the way......not quite what I had in mind.

    Suggestions for a (slightly abbreviated) Camino del Norte?

    Hmmm, thanks everyone for your many suggestions! I have bought a large map today and will continue to read as much around this topic over the next few months. Luckily we can be flexible in terms of accommodation but would prefer to spend most nights sharing with other pilgrims if at all...

    Suggestions for a (slightly abbreviated) Camino del Norte?

    Yes please Sandra, we live south of Hobart in the Huon, so mebbe we can catch up over January sometime when things quieten down. I just love to look at OP’s travel photos too, it certainly fuels the anticipation!

    Suggestions for a (slightly abbreviated) Camino del Norte?

    Thank you Don, I had been wondering about this option. Must say the Primitivo draws me, but thought it might be more challenging physically and also fewer pilgrims along the way to meet. While I’m very happy not to be walking with hordes of people, think the social side of the Camino will appeal...

    Suggestions for a (slightly abbreviated) Camino del Norte?

    Hello fellow pilgrim walkers! I am guilty as charged of always trying to fit waaaay too much into a scheduled period of time. Hmmm. Whether it's that I'm an eternal optimist or that I never learn (yes Mum), guess I want to leave this earth living (and loving) life at 110%! So my big question is...

    Class of 2020

    That’s exciting Hielienie, my son and I are planning our first Camino and also doing the del Norte in August 2020. Just hoping the weather won’t be too hot at that time of year, but guess it will be what it will be! Hope your Camino goes well and feel free to post about your adventures to help...

    So far, so good - Camino Ingles with 16 yo son

    Thank you Purky, I’m sure it will be a memorable experience whatever it brings along the way. Just booking our tickets today so it’s starting to feel very real! And as far as the Japanese Caminos, we considered doing one of these first since they’re much closer to home and look so beautiful. But...

    So far, so good - Camino Ingles with 16 yo son

    I loved reading this account of the Camino Inglés walking with your son, thank you so much for sharing it with us! I am (excitedly) planning to undertake a Camino in Aug/Sept 2020 with my boy, who will have just turned 19. Think he may be the same age as “ Son of Purky” 😉😊 Still can’t quite...
