    Hotels along the way -

    If you are comfortable with the idea of not booking your entire trip ahead, you can build more flexibility (and possibly joy) into your Camino by booking ahead only for the first few days until you feel more at ease with the process. Then, in addition to, or in place of, Booking.com or...

    Is my guide book accurate?

    @Bert45, at the following link--- https://madillcamino2014.blogspot.com/2015/10/placeholder-saturday-september-20-2014.html --- I found this: Airexe: Igrexa de Santiago – stone slab on S side (gl.wikipedia.org Cropped). [Photo omitted.] Confusingly, this church is also known as Iglesia de...

    Diversity on the Camino

    If we live long enough, each of us will be privileged to experience the sting of discrimination. And, if we are fortunate, being on the receiving end of such hurtful conduct will, either instantly or gradually, alter our appreciation of the universality of this reality. It is not only shades...

    Are you a hiker or a walker?

    Enjoyed the humor, but, humor aside, Thoreau's laundry has been a topic of serious discussion. See, the short essay, linked here: https://austinkleon.com/2019/08/30/thoreaus-laundry/

    Are you a hiker or a walker?

    ...is a little more than fourteen thousand miles, between Cape Town, South Africa, and the Russian port city of Magadan on the Sea of Okhotsk. [***] The epigraph for Six Walks is a definition: ‘Footstep (‘fóot, step): A step taken by a person in walking, especially as heard by another.’ In...

    For those who have walked the Camino 2 or more times

    Your quotation reminded me of Ralph Hodgson's poem, an apt response to those who appear mystified by the allure of The Camino. Reason has moons, but moons not hers Lie mirror'd on her sea, Confounding her astronomers, But, O! delighting me.

    Searching for a walking quote

    The following is a link to a wide-ranging article with observations---from Diogenes to Jefferson to Thoreau to Hemingway and Nietzsche, from physicality to spirituality, and from music to psychology to science and spaces in between---about the benefits of walking. Perhaps the quotation you are...

    what Camera option are people using

    Another follow-up. Perhaps it would be useful to start an independent thread with Camino tips on smartphone photography. For those with a desire to have more control over camera functions and photo quality, for the S23 Ultra (and probably some earlier iterations), it is useful to master the...

    what Camera option are people using

    To follow up on Tim-F's comment, on the S23 ultra, using pro mode, the "cloud" icon appears when you slide the WB (white balance) scale to 6500K. The following links to an explanation of the Kelvin Color Temperatures. https://www.3drender.com/glossary/colortemp.htm

    Relive App

    If you have an hour to spend, you can follow Planet Doug's learning curve video on YouTube. He takes you along on his own "learning curve" trip where he discovers how to use the Relive app, partially in real time, and shows step-by-step how to use the features of the free app--he also discusses...

    Where was I? Bando? Cortiñas?

    In The Pilgrimage Road to Santiago, Gitlitz and Davidson list Cortiñas as being on the route from Sarria to Portomarin between Peruscallo and Lavandeira. The text, however, does not discuss it.

    What is Your Marching Music

    I’m among those who prefer the natural music of the world while walking; however, I discovered one song during my Camino Portugués that deeply touched me–and I would recommend it to those who walk the Camino Portugues, or those who walk the Camino Frances as they enter Galicia. If you have...

    Elevation Gain: How Challenging are the Hills on the Central Portuguese Camino?

    My brother and I walked the central Caminho Português from Porto in September, 2018. In comparison to the terrain from St. Jean Pied de Port to Pamplona, the hills were like muffin tops–except for the climb to the top of Labruja mountain. We started the day in Ponte de Lima and ended in...
