    Camino Ingles blog September 2015

    Me and my Dad walked the Camino Ingles in September and I have just completed uploading my blogs from this at: http://footprintsonthecamino.blogspot.co.uk/ . I wrote all of the entries based on my diary within a couple of days of returning from our walk but spaced them out over a few weeks on my...

    The Cathedral website states the posistion of the CSJ as above and I took this picture when at the Cathedral earlier this month which gives the position (sorry about its quality, it was in a glass case above my head): I hope this helps :-)

    The Cathedral has started selling a new certificate a 'Certificate of Visit' This can be bought from the headquarters of the Confraternity of St. James, at the praza da Quintana, by the Holy Door for 3 Euros and it says (according to google translate): The council of the Holy Apostolic...

    New 'Compostela' only available this year

    Camino Yogini - none that I've found but there seems to be very little information available on it anywhere! Sorry I can't be of more help

    New 'Compostela' only available this year

    I thought that it sounded a little odd that they'd receive the Compostela but didn't know if the organisation had sought some sort of special permission from the Cathedral. Thanks for clarifying Johnnie

    New 'Compostela' only available this year

    After writing about this certificate I did a bit more research on Saint Francis of Assisi's Pilgrimage to Santiago and found a plan for June/July this year for two nautical pilgrimage s to Santiago, one in the Mediterranean Ocean of over 1000 nautical miles and another in the Atlantic of about...

    New 'Compostela' only available this year

    Every 100 years the Francistern order produces their own 'Compostela' to celebrate the Pilgrimage of Saint Francis of Assisi to Santiago which happened in 1214 - 800 years ago and so this certificate is available this year (and then there won't be another until 2114). I received mine on the...

    Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk in England

    I walked the Coast to Coast after doing the Camino and found it much harder going than the Camino Frances but the views were wonderful. I also made my own 'Credential' and had it stamped in Youth Hostels and Post Offices. The walk, if not camping, is a LOT more expensive than the Camino though -...

    Starting Point in Sarria

    From what I can find you can get a Credential from the Church of Santa Marina which people report opens at 7am or from the Municipal albergue in sarria which should open at 1pm. I have never done this myself so cannot vouch for the accuracy of this information. Most private albergues seem to...
