    LIVE from the Camino Wolf On Francés Today

    This topic on ‘the wolf’ scared daylights outta me!! Hope they don’t become a regular on the Camino - would just freeze if I met one, so please pilgrims (as some suggested) just ignore Mr Wolf & keep going!

    Recommendations for “can’t miss” eating establishments?

    As you go thru the various towns, there will be signs up in Restaurants with Menu del Dia. These are the places we mostly eat in, not five star but mostly very tasty & reasonably priced. Plus we usually met up with other pilgrims that we would have had chat/few words along the way and always a...

    LIVE from the Camino SJPDP 1st stage

    Fair play to you to make it in one day, a great achievement, photos magnificent. The toughest day is now behind you! Lots of stretching/gentle exercises after each days walk will be great help. Would also recommend early morning starts to avoid the heat of the day.

    How to take trekking poles to Spain despite airline regulations...

    Why not look along the hedgerows as you walk along on your first mornings walk, you will find a plentiful supply of strong sticks to use...........that’s what we always do & we find they are just as good as our walking poles left back at home!

    Which Camino for my 80th year?

    Lifted my heart to read all above comments re.James post. We were to do Camino from Porto Sept 2020 but of course COVID put an end to that!! We hope to do so maybe this Oct but certainly 2022. On reflection we think perhaps we’ll do 14 days of the part of Camino Frances we enjoyed most way back...

    Santiago in lockdown

    Once more thanks so much Ivar for keeping us up to date/ ’connected to a place dear to our hearts’ (Robo said). When in Santiago Sept 2018, should have made bigger effort to visit you Ivar - time + getting to Finisterre was not on our side. But we look forward to doing so in Sept 2021 (hopefully).

    📹If it was me, I would not walk the Camino in September

    Thank you Ivar for your regular updates – helps us all to feel close to the Camino and in this way dreaming of our next trip!
