    Mozárabe from Málaga

    My wife and son in law and I walked from Almería to Granada in March 2023. My daughter and I walked from Málaga to Cordoba this past March. For being so close they are amazingly different. From Almería you might think you are in northern Mexico. From Málaga you would think 99% of the world is...

    Weather in November on the Frances and the Portugues

    Once you become addicted to the Caminos it is hard to stay away no matter the weather. You go whenever you can. Like It56ny says, it is hard. So I think you should walk your first time in nice weather. Buen Camino

    Public transport from Santiago to ??

    My daughter planned to join me on the Camino Frances “5 days out “ but her flight from Paris was delayed so she missed the bus from Santiago. The taxi cost 80 euros (two years ago ) but it was worth it to me. Buen Camino

    Weather in November on the Frances and the Portugues

    My favorite time is late September and early October. As henrythedog said in November the rain can be biblical. Your first Camino should be a pilgrimage, yes, but how many sins must you walk off cold, wet and muddy? Take a lease on life and walk earlier. Buen Camino

    LIVE from the Camino Counting pilgrims on the Norte AGAIN

    At the end of October and the end of our Camino Aragonés my French son in law and I walked the Camino Frances backwards from Obános to Saint Jean Pied-de-Port. Several helpful local people pointed out that we were going the wrong way. Some oncoming people were baffled. Our daily pilgrim...

    Finisterre in rain

    It’s at the end of the earth and the beginning of the ocean. What did you expect besides rain? Just kidding. I have enjoyed sunny days there. The fishing museum is worth a fascinating couple of hours. Buen Camino

    New Camino Movie -The Way My Way - World Premiere

    Similar to Japan, there is a 30 day Camino in southern Korea. My daughter and her French (then boyfriend now husband) walked it in 2014 and were treated like royalty in each village— to the point of embarrassment. And delight! A significant percentage of South Koreans are Catholic. Buen Camino

    May-June Camino Frances - Rain Gear & Eating ware

    Yes each to his own. On the Mozárabe from Málaga in March my daughter wore Hoka speed goats and I wore La Sportiva Gore Tex Raptor mid height Two days of heavy rains and one stream crossing soaked hers more than mine. We each got one small blister and we are each sticking to our chosen...

    The Camino for LGBTQ

    Xose, I thought the Cluny hospitals were set up on the Caminos to welcome EVERYONE. I am an old straight guy and hope that is still the case And I enjoyed reading Hape Kerkeling’s book long ago. I welcome anyone who walks to share the albergue. Oh, wait, some snorers excluded. Buen Camino
