    Medication woes

    For each three weeks of traveling I have about a liter of heart pills in very small plastic bags. One bag for morning and one for evening. Seem to work. I don’t want my wife to have to erect another RIP monument along a Camino but I happily know she would rather do that than watch me rust away...

    Roads versus Trails

    Correct. Those incredibly rough Roman roads had a nice smooth sand covering back in the day. We now walk on what erosion left. Buen Camino(?)

    Roads versus Trails

    Mozarabe from Almeria. Mozarabe from Malaga. Aragones. Arles from Pau. Primitivo. Frances. This opinion from memory, not by the book. Buen Camino

    Sundays and public holidays

    Darn they are heavy but I always try to carry a banana an orange a bag of nuts or mixed fruit and nuts maybe a bag of olives maybe a small can of tuna and a can/bottle of Aquarius or Kas (electrolytes) plus water. AND CHEESE! If I don’t eat them during the day because of cafe offerings I may...

    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

    Are there Book swaps on the Camino. What book would you take.

    Laurie Lee’s two books about Spain are sure worth rereading but I would only carry them in the Kindle in my phone. Buen Camino

    Did it make a difference

    Yes, yes, yes, of course, or I wouldn't be glued to the computer reading this also addictive forum every morning over coffee. Buen Camino

    Late august 2024, route choices

    In August the Primitivo may be hot but would not have the tourist crowds of the coast. In September the coastal weather will likely be ideal. But there could be rain. In October there will be rain. Buen Camino

    Holy Week Experience

    In the evening of April 15, 2022 I met a man in Carrion de Los Condes who was wearing a black cape and impressive black felt hat. I asked if he was a La Tuna musician. He said no, follow me. We walked up the the now open building that held all the procession floats. I got to wander around...

    Camino Start decision

    Agree with J Willhaus. And when you do walk beyond Saria you may be in the company of some delightful Canadians, as I have in the past. Buen Camino

    Camino Dating

    On our first Camino my daughter met "a handsome French man." Two years later he proposed at Finestere at the end of our Portuguese Camino. They married the following year. A year ago Julien walked the Camino Mozarabe with my wife and me. (He is fluent in Spanish and English.) This past...

    Wise Pilgrim or Buen Camino or both?

    I hardly ever look at them but my device has all the applicable apps. Cost little and weigh nothing. I also carry the smallest and lightest paper guide book, but only the pages of the route I will walk. I just recently added mapy.cz and found it useful in walking through cities. Buen Camino

    What are most people finding as the daily expense of a 2-3 month Camino walk?

    I'm with Simperegrina and Vacajoe. I prefer dorm beds in private, muni or paroqueal albergues but occasionally find "only" a pension or small hotel -- luxury! In donativos I leave at least as much as I would pay in a private albergue. If the albergue offers a meal I always buy it, always...

    Sello (stamp) Obsession: Is there a medical term for this?

    Two days after I sleep in a village I forget its name because I am thinking about the next cerveza, shower and bed. The sellos are a great record of where I was. I treasure them. I don't always ask for a Compostela in Santiago. I am not religious but I particularly like to get a sello at...

    Sharing a menu del dia/ becoming a trend/ Santiago de Compostela

    It is a normal afternoon anywhere in Spain when I order a beer or wine and suddenly magically appears a small bowl of chips or olives or nuts. Sometimes tapas. No charge! I love it. Buen Camino
