    Searching for a walking quote

    I love collecting quotes and short poems that either hit me in the heart or give me pause for thought. Walking the Camino Frances 6 months ago I collected more than a handful. Rabanal del Camino was one of my favorite villages for many reasons, one being the many beautiful quotes written on flat...

    Searching for a walking quote

    I love all the suggested quotes. Did the OP find what they were looking for? I have a couple of favorites to share: "A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a...

    Champagne breakfast

    There is champagne available at the Parador breakfast buffet. Call at 8pm the night before to book a "sitting", advise that you are a pilgrim when you arrive (they may or may not ask to see your Compostela) 15€ and a lovely way to celebrate

    Girl from Malaysia

    It didn't really go the wrong way, I think everyone understands your intention, and you never know, the Camino world is small and word might just get back to her. Good luck!

    Girl from Malaysia

    Oh yeah, I see that now. 100% agree with both of you!

    Girl from Malaysia

    If you are meant to meet her again you will. Maybe she is on the forum. However, no one on this forum would exchange someone else's private contact details. @truenorthpilgrm suggests a more appropriate method

    Outbuildings in farm houses

    I was intrigued by these also and asked my hosts in Morgade about them. A young man there told me that people from as far away as New York and London now want them in their gardens and you can get good money for them. I can't imagine how you would get a centuries old stone horreo to NYC, but I...

    Intermittent fasting on the Camino

    That was also the case for me when I was young(er) and now for some cruel reason it keeps me awake

    Intermittent fasting on the Camino

    Currently on the Camino and I found that if I had meal times as recommended by Robo and avoided the late Pilgrim dinners, which usually involved too much food and too much wine to get a good night's sleep, not only did I sleep better but I felt fresher and lighter when walking the next morning...

    Insoles for trail runners in the 65km before Santiago

    BTW I should add that I am entirely happy with my pink super feet insoles and if I could find them in Santiago I would be very happy.

    Insoles for trail runners in the 65km before Santiago

    I am currently on the Camino Frances, at San Xulian tonight. My Hoka Challengers are holding up well but my superfeet insoles are not that super anymore. I had a pair of green superfeet insoles to swap out with these pink ones but my feet did not like the green ones as I got pinch blisters on my...
