    LIVE from the Camino Walking the CF for Teresa

    This Camino is dedicated to mi amiga Teresa and her family. I walked many km's in 2023 with Teresa and her daughter. For Teresa, the CF was a " true pilgrimmage". A devour Catholic, she encouraged me to attend pilgrim's mass & blessings and visited almost every church along the way - I often...

    LIVE from the Camino Feels Unpleasantly Busy on the Camino Frances (May Day, 2024)

    I’m on the Camino Frances since April 4. I just finished the Meseta and it feels unpleasantly busy and has since the beginning. No time time to smell the roses or draw much. There is a sense from most people that it’s extremely busy and you have to book. I’ve often had to contact several...

    LIVE from the Camino My Camino Frances 2024

    I wasn't sure I was going to post "live from the Camino" for this Camino. I'm happy to do so on my solo Caminos, but when I am walking with family, my focus is a little elsewhere and I am mindful of the privacy of my companion. But here goes. Just know that it won't be as detailed as the threads...

    Today I started my camino, walking fom Pamplona to Puente La Reina. More on that later. After what was possibly the longest transit ever from Australia, I finally made it to Pamplona. I wanted to say thanks to all the forum members who posted about Madrid airport and connecting to the train to...

    LIVE from the Camino The massacre of a dear resting place.

    Between Villafranca Montes de Oca and San Juan de Ortega there was a great resting place with benches, totem poles andvarious wooden art. A place of good vibes. It is now completely demolished: someone has used chain saws to ruin it completely. The remains are now lying to rot. Not able to...

    LIVE from the Camino Current big wave at beginning of Francés

    Zubiri was full early yesterday (by 2:30, according to some pilgrims who came to Pamplona today), but Zubiri opened up a municipal building just past the town for some pilgrims to sleep on the floor! I haven’t seen that done before. We all know these first few days are a choke point, but I am...

    LIVE from the Camino Bed bugs in Sarria

    Just a warning to those in the towns before Sarria and in the city- we found bed bugs at two different albergues before and in Sarria hiding in the cracks of the stone walls! Make sure to check the walls with your flashlight before setting up camp. One albergue owner, after we pointed them out...

    We are in SJPP today While we were standing in line today, one of my pilgrims met 3 people from Taiwan, who could not find a bed. He said he also saw several people on their phones, frantically searching for beds. We saw many signs that said complete and the Albergue was complete. This is...

    LIVE from the Camino SJPdP “Completo” tonight!

    Just an FYI that all available beds are taken in SJPDP tonight - fully, truly COMPLETO! There’s an indication of how busy this year may be since it’s just a Wednesday in late April, not usually considered a busy time for the CF. Cold weather over the Route Napoleon may be backing up some...

    LIVE from the Camino My First Camino Adventure: From Sarria to Samos Monastery

    I have arrived in Sarria for my first Camino ever. It is now 1.53am local time. I'm tucked in my bed at a pension where, I think, I'm the sole occupant here. The sheer excitement is keeping me awake... either that, or jet lag haha! If the info is correct (and I pray to St. James it is..), I...
