  1. Camino Chrissy

    LIVE from the Camino Chrissy on the Camino Sanabrés

    After a smooth and uneventful flight from Chicago to Madrid on Iberia, the last three days we have been doing some sightseeing in Salamanca and Zamora, and our days have been sunny, a little cool and not a cloud in the sky. We took the train from Madrid to Salamanca and its historical area is...

    LIVE from the Camino Anyone near Castrojeriz now

    Hi all, I started in SJPP on the 22nd of April and I am in the Corean albergue Orion im Castrojeriz this night. Everything went surprisingly easy until now (touch wood). Nice people everywhere (pilgrims and locals) and after the first days, I stopped booking beds. I always find something. I'm...

    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 Starting the Invierno today - March 12, 2024

    After doing the Camino Portugués Central (loved it), then Sarria to SdC (hmmm), I’ve very excited to start the Invierno today as my final Camino of this trip before heading home. Anything the Invierno lovers (and anyone else, of course) would like me to check out and report back on?

    LIVE from the Camino Counting pilgrims on the Norte AGAIN

    Last May I walked the first part of the Norte in the opposite direction, from Santander to Irun. Since I only had two weeks and couldn't reach Santiago anyway, I wanted to swim against the tide, especially since the most beautiful stages were between Bilbao and Irun, which I enjoyed a lot at the...

    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 Camino Mozárabe Stage List - April 2024

    Attached is a summary PDF of the stages between Almeria and Mérida that I have just completed. I’ve also included it as an image. It may help someone with planning. At the very least it will show just how many places needed booking, where a Municipal Albergue did not exist. This is not...

    LIVE from the Camino Account of a very challenging day SJPdP to Roncesvalles (crazy weather)

    Hello all. Here to give a brief account of my (and many others) first day on the Camino on May 1. The trip to Roncesvalles was tough. I went Valcarlos route because napoleon was very ill advised due to the snow storm. I did not have the proper gear for a day like this-my poncho is super small...

    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 Starting in Bilbao - a six week Camino

    Tomorrow I fly to Bilbao to start my 5th stint on the Camino. I did the Frances in three parts (2016, 2017 and 2022). Last year I did the Portuguese from Porto. I did the first 200 km of the Frances totally untrained, fat and not a walker back in 2016. Started really slow and got hooked. Now I...

    LIVE from the Camino They are recommending the Valcarlos route tomorrow, how foolish would it be to go Napoleon?

    They are expecting snow at altitude. Talking to other pilgrims, some are going Napoleon anyway. Thoughts? I was hoping to go Napoleon myself. I might add, lots of communication barriers at the pilgrims office. Most volunteers didn’t speak English or Spanish. Might get some people in trouble if...

    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...

    Does anyone have news of the man receiving CPR on the Camino yesterday (May 4) just north of San Miguel on the way to Padron? Grateful for the many Pilgrims, including a nurse, who were helping him. Hope he pulled through!!!

    LIVE from the Camino Caminó Primitivo 4/2024

    Hi all! Started today from Oviedo to Escamplero. Now I know, why so many people say it's a bit of a challenge to come out of Oviedo. I got lost just once, but was rescued by a very friendly guy. A short, but beautiful walk by great weather conditions - a bit cloudy, no rain and some sunshine...
