    Forecast arrival of pilgrims in Santiago

    You have one dependent variable, arrivals in Santiago, and many independent variables that affect the dependent variable such as time of year. From this you want to find a mathematical formula where the input varables yield a result. Look to regession analysis. Click fo Spanish Wikipedia...

    Slow but moving forward

    If you mean this, yes, Irache.

    Alternatives to Sarria to SDC

    You can take many buses a day from Sarria to Lugo (Monbus busline) and follow the Primitivo to the CF at Melide to skip some of the CF or take one of the Via Verdes (rail trails in the US) to skip more. You will still be qualified for a compostela. See these posts of mine for introductions to...

    Showers

    On the other hand moisture wicking socks are recommended for blister prevention. It doesn't make any sense to me to get your feet wet before walking.

    Definition of a Pilgrim 🤣

    A US military academy graduate once told me that they had a saying there; "You may run out of clean underwear but you never run out of underwear."

    Bike rental options on the Camino?

    I wrote a post about five years ago listing (and linking to) places that do bicycle rentals for the meseta. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/how-much-of-the-camino-frances-can-i-cover-in-19-days.65129/#post-796954

    Confused over date format

    Plus, when the date is in decreasing order (with leading zeros) at the start of the names of files their listings come up arranged in chronological and alphabetical order both. Edit: Here's an example. You see the date and time in the filenames. Also below the filename in the American mm/dd/yy...

    Confused over date format

    I made a mistake booking a train when I was inexperienced because I made our reservations based on the day of the week. I hadn't noticed that Spain's calendar week started on a Monday instead of our Sunday. The easy fix was to extend our stay in Barcelona by a day.

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Yikes, it looks like you volunteered to be the tallest thing around for awhile.

    Thanks Dave. I had a number of good laughs reading these.

    New Camino Movie -The Way My Way - World Premiere

    I'll do better than that by showing how to do all sorts of fancy things but only after saying that having full URLs printed out can be a good thing. And that is if you print out a post or take a screenshot or do a copy and paste you can see where to go. This website tells you about BBC...

    New Camino Movie -The Way My Way - World Premiere

    Here's a eight minute review of TheWay, My Way. The reviewer's main point is the bad acting. He notes that it is done by amateurs, some are good and some bad but the unevenness bothers him. He has a few problems with the lead's acting too but wonders if it isn't because of Bennett's directing...

    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    Dictionary. com defines vacation as: a period of suspension of work, study, or other activity, usually used for rest, recreation, or travel; You meet the first part and so others assume the second part. You could say "On my time off/away I'm going on a pilgrimage." "Yeah, you oaf; a pilgrimage...

    Spain total solar eclipse, August 12, 2026: Are camino towns preparIng?

    Figure out the angle of viewing; since it is near sunset it is probably to the southwest. The sun will be low in the sky so seek a spot with no hills, buildings or trees in the way. Maybe hike up a mountain.

    WhatsApp, pay in advance?

    Also, if you are suspicious and the URL looks good do not click the link. Type in the URL into a browser, don't do a copy and paste. Some letters that look like they are in the Latin alphabet may be similar looking letters in another alphabet and you could end up at a faked website.

    Afraid of top bed without fence

    Head lamps are good for the outdoors. Inside, if you do need light, hold it in your hand.

    How to get QR Code onto Wikiloc App

    You have filters in Wikiloc to specify which category of tracks you want. There is an Off Road category in the Motor section.
