    A Furnace Full of God: A Holy Year on the Camino de Santiago

    Device issue. The “categories” like Books and Equipment weren’t coming up on my iPhone 12, so I switched to my iPad and there they were. Main page, scroll down. Thanks.

    A Furnace Full of God: A Holy Year on the Camino de Santiago

    Rebekah, How do I get to the “Books” section? Tried for a while. Liked “Furnace”.

    Descent into Portomarin

    There’s an easy way to go. Took it last year. Start out on the left-hand trail. After a little ways you’ll see a small blacktop road branch off on the left. It’s quite pleasant and goes down to the road that goes along the river. Turn right and you’ll see the bridge shortly. This is all on your...

    A word of warning on trail runners or light weight shoes.

    My wife and I both walked the Camino Frances last fall in Altra Lonepeak 6’s. Hers were unmodified with the factory insoles as were mine but for a gel heel pad from Dr Scholls. No blisters or other foot problems. Yes we could feel the rocks, especially under our toes but little or no actual...

    Overnight train Paris to Bayonne

    We took the TGV because the SCNF was full. They are both fast trains but the THV is a little faster and a little more expensive I believe.

    I keep talking myself out of it....

    Bradley, Planning my second CF for this fall, but I too am on the fence for various reasons. So reading all the responses your post has generated is inspiring me to go. I agree with all the posts amazingly.

    A good hat.....

    We use the Sunday Afternoon, too. You can instantly flatten it down to almost nothing and stow it anywhere in your pack till next time you need it. I only use it for Sun. Otherwise I use ball cap. The back apron protects your neck, yet blows up with the breeze for cooling. At REI.

    Overnight train Paris to Bayonne

    In 2019 my wife and I took a day train from Paris and stayed in the Hotel Cote Basque in Bayonne. We found it charming. It was our first hotel on the continent since we were kids. Ancient cage-type elevator. Big window that opened wide above the bustling square below with the river and train...

    The Elvis Bar in Reliegos

    Bending topic a little. Bar Elvis was closed in September 2022, but Reliegos was one of my favorite Camino towns. We stayed at albergue Tu Camino and ate at Bar Gil with the wind and the cats. The Meseta town has a Wild West flavor with the stark streets and the bodegas. Sounds like the Bar...

    Villafranca del Bierzo Bus Stop

    Well, when you get to Spain, the easiest thing to do is to pop into a bar and ask about busses or taxis. I fell four times in one afternoon descending Cruz de Ferro in 2022. Then got sick and holed up in Villafranca for a few days. While there we were told to go to the tobbaconist in the town...
