    Top 15 Small Churches On The Camino

    Glad you enjoyed it. And yes I agree with your last comment on the Stations of the Cross. Have walked many. We did the Jesus Trail last year and then walked the actual Stations of the Cross in Jerusalem. Very powerful experience.

    Top 15 Small Churches On The Camino

    The affect of a church on each of us is highly subjective and possibly based on many considerations, including; location, architecture, a particular statue, perhaps a memory inspired by an art piece. Mostly I suspect our current state of mind and spirit. For me the small churches along The...

    Francés vs Via de la Plata vs Camino de madrid

    I have walked all three. Walking in April May and having 2 months would suggest the VDLP as a good option for you as it is 1,000 km. It it much less crowded than Frances. A more intimate Camino, Requiring 6 weeks or so leaving you time for Finisterre. Madrid is even more solitary and only about...

    Looking for a *good* online map/image that shows *all* the camino routes in Spain

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    Invierno, Aragones, English , or outside of Spain; Via Piodensis in France, Via Francigena or Via Francesco in Italy, or 88 Temple in Japan. Comparisons of most of these to Camino Frances at How Other Pilgrimages compare to Camino Frances

    Origins of pilgrimage

    The first paragraph of your link sums up “pilgrimage” definition pretty well I think: “A pilgrimage is a devotional practice consisting of a prolonged journey, often undertaken on foot or on horseback, toward a specific destination of significance. It is an inherently transient experience...

    The Quest To Walk 50K In A Day

    I felt ok. I did take a rest day bit only because I wanted to visit with Mincho and the Albergue Verde family. The day afterwards leaving I felt sluggish but had another grand day that might interest you; http://globalpilgrim.net/the-return-of-my-irish-angel/#respond

    The Quest To Walk 50K In A Day

    The 50K was unusual for me. It just happened. Lately I prefer a slower pace say 20-25K. Buen Camino!

    The Kindness and Hospitality of the Hospitaleros along the Camino de Santiago

    Early in the new year is a time of reflection. With many of us dreaming of our first or next Camino later this year, I was thinking of the many hospitalero volunteers who strive to make our pilgrim experience comfortable. Some help to make it special. A big thank you to all of them. This is a...

    The Quest To Walk 50K In A Day

    For those who think 10K is too short of a day and 30K is too long of a day on The Camino. My experience suggests there is no right or wrong distance. It is all about connecting with The Camino and walking the distance that is right for you on any individual day. I normally walked 25-30K on my...
