    Listening to Music/Audiobooks/Podcasts while making the pilgrimage?

    When I was planning my first Camino, I put together an amazing setlist to listen to while I walked. It was stellar (for me)! I walked the CF from SJPDP to Santiago, then on to Finesterre and then Muxia. And I never, not once, listened to the music I'd prepared. Being present for the experience...

    Injinji socks

    I wore Injinji socks plus merino wool on the outside. The only small blister I got on the entire CF was when I thought it was okay to wear them a 2nd day without washing. Never made that mistake again, and no more blisters. LOVE Injinji... AND, another pair of socks that helped my feet a lot in...

    What not to bring

    I must admit, when I read "poker chips" I laughed out loud... this tickled my funny bone... when I walked the French way a few years ago, I don't believe I witnessed any poker games being played, but perhaps I wasn't paying attention... I also respect that fact that each of us has our own "must...

    The Camino Isn’t A Pilgrimage Anymore

    When I walked the Camino in 2019, I encountered people grumbling about others (riding bikes, having backpacks shuttled, walking just from Sarria) and the best comment I ever heard was, "Everyone has their own Camino." I've since applied this to all aspects of this life's journey... giving others...

    Parador in Muxía to open Easter 2020

    I remember walking by this building when arriving in Muxia from Finesterre at the conclusion of our Camino Frances pilgrimage this past October. It stood out quite stark compared to everything before and after along the way. I hope it doesn't negatively impact Muxia. I suppose time will tell...

    Flight cancelled, looking for advice on bus from Biarritz to Bayonne

    Hi all, my flight from the U.S. on Norwegian Air last night was cancelled. I've re-booked different flights for today, arriving in Biarritz tomorrow late night, staying in a hotel about half a mile from the airport. For this Saturday morning (Sept 14), I've booked the train from Bayonne to...

    Question for DSLR users

    Though technically you were talking about a different camera, I for one am grateful you did. Just purchased the Sony RX100 VI, and the same exact Osprey camera case as in your photo... to go with my Osprey pack. So, thank you!

    Question about food

    Hello all... I've been following this forum for several months now, learning a lot along the way. I'll be walking my first Camino beginning in mid-September and will appreciate some recent, experienced input regarding the standard food available along the Camino Frances... breakfast, lunch, and...
