It makes me sad, too, Eemeen, but at 83 there is a limit to my walking capability. I walk between 3 and 8 kms every day just to keep fit, but camino distances are now too far. I wrote this a couple of years ago:
O I would go
How gladly I would go
Were feet and limbs not aching with old age.
O...
Wow! So many happy memories. I walked this route when I was 77 - my favourite of the seven caminos I walked. Now at 83 I think I really am past it - but I still walk a couple of miles every day! Not enough for a camino! Bless all peregrinos and keep them safe. Steve in sunny England.
That brought back so many happy memories. Sadly I have reached an age where long distance walking is no longer possible. God bless all peregrinos! Steve in England.
If you have any questions, e-mail me. s.nicholls@gmx.co.uk I very rarely get on the forum these days, as my camino days are over. Blessings from sunny but cold England .... Steve.
This happens especially in the larger towns and especially in Santiago. My diaries note how I might expect to pay up to10 Euros for a menu del dia, including a filling meal and either a bottle of local wine or a caraffe. I was then often charged 9 Euros for the Mdd .... plus 15 Euros for the...
Hi Sue! Go to my web site: https://snicholl5.wixsite.com/home-site/santiago and half way down the page you'll find Pilgrimage IV made in 2014 - both legs of the Camino Ingles. There are two links there - one for my diary, one for my photo album. Enjoy! And let me know how you get on!

Well done Bill! One of my favorite Caminos - so peaceful for most of the way. Great to see the main cathedral steps and door without scaffolding! And loved your other pictures, too.
Greetings from East Anglia, U.K.
As a peregrino you only need five words.
"Estoy perdido. ¿Dónde está Santiago?"
[I am lost. Where is Santiago?]
Keep smiling: if you're walking in Portugal, the Portuguese love it when you speak in English!
Steve;
getting a bit past it for caminos; but who knows what 2022 will bring?!?
I walked the Ebro camino a few years ago, and loved every minute of it's peaceful path. But I'll be content to [finally] walk this new section from my old town of Vinaros: I can keep the distances down to around 10 kms each day, as I know every town it passes through.
Buen camino, amigos!
Steve...
OK OK everything is put back, year after year. I really hope to walk this camino in May 2022: heck I'll be 83 by then! If anyone has walked it, please tell me the difficulties and maybe problems walking over the Maistrat mountains. Is the camino well sign posted? Many thanks: God bless each one...
I've always wondered exactly the same, stinmd. Sometimes it's hard enough finding arrows when walking the right way, but to walk a camino in reverse.... wow!
Bad Pilgrim - thank you so much for letting me start each day with such happy memories. I ended my Ebro camino in Logrono.
Bless you, my friend, keep safe, and I hope to follow more of your caminos in the days/weeks ahead.
Buen camino!
Steve in England.
