    4th Camino Experience (with some photos)

    You take some nice photos. Maybe you should think about some of the other pilgrim routes, Especailly the ones less traveled. You might enjoy a completely different type of pilgrimage to Santiago.

    Planning tips for Camino de Madrid

    I usually call because I am lazy and my spoken Spanish is better than my written Spanish but I will use whatsapp thanks

    Planning tips for Camino de Madrid

    Thanks so much. Good to hear it is not a painless exit from Madrid. I was a little worried about that as once we leave a city center it can get progressively worse until you are completely clear of the city. I first thought of staying in the Hostel Arbel. Then I discovered the Villa Castora...

    Planning tips for Camino de Madrid

    Thanks so much for that tip. I was thinking of calling the day before for every albergue even when Gronze says call the day of arrival. You have confirmed to me it is a better idea to call the day before. DId you always call or did you use whatsapp? I was thinking of calling first and if I never...

    Last Minute Shoe help

    I know this is getting off topic. But I do love my Hokas for day to day. I was so close to wearing them on a camino a few years ago. Then I slapped myself across the face and came to my senses. I have not had a blister in 8 years or even a hint of problems with my Cascadias, why would I ever...

    Planning tips for Camino de Madrid

    Thanks so much. Again if my stages break down where I will stay in Tamariz de Campos I will be sweeping 🧹 in that albergue.

    Last Minute Shoe help

    You can get Cascadias in 2wide and they may have a 4 wide. I have been doing my daily walks in the Cascadias I wore on my Camino last year. I know they are wearing down but I will try to keep wearing them until I leave for Spain in October. My new Cascadias are waiting for me when I go to New...

    Caminho without a phone

    I am very confused by your post. Most people do walk the central route from Porto, although the coastal is getting more popular every year. As @C clearly asked for clarification about Bookings. Are you saying that Bookings would not release your information on which hotels you booked? Again some...

    Last Minute Shoe help

    I have to agree with all those who say waterproof is meaningless in summer. Your feet are going to sweat even more than normally. Nothing good can come of this. The least of your worries is smelly feet. I have a pair of Hokas. My wife has knee problems and she would shoot someone who would try...

    Planning tips for Camino de Madrid

    Thanks for all your info. I have walked some pretty quiet caminos and I was expecting no English all the way. I have enough Spanish to be ok. I too love quiet and beautiful caminos. In the last few years I have done the VDLP, Aragones and the Vasco. Next year the Mozarabe and who knows what...

    Exactly and buen Camino!!! The coastal will be so much less stressful for your injury. If you stay on the litoral you will have great views and have the sound of the ocean in your left ear all day. Going on the traditional coastal route will give you some really nice panoramic views but if you...

    Take your time, breath and listen to your body. You are my inspiration. I am 70 and hope to walk for many years to come. You keep walking and lead us tercera edad pilgrims into the light!

    Type of bike for Camino Francés

    The feelings you express are like those of a bruja. You have captured my feelings of thee exactly!!!! One can only hope. Oh and by the way there are many people that have told me I am one of the most fun people they have ever met. My mommy taught me quite well how and where to cross a street or...

    Type of bike for Camino Francés

    A. I am not a Christian. I was born and practice another religion so sorry about that. B. There are plenty of people who comment that are from other countries and if there are lots of restrictions about the use of Ebikes that must speak volumes for the safety of others who are walking. If you...

    changing paths

    I have to respectfully disagree with you regarding the difficulty of the coastal Portugues and the first day out of SJPP. I have walked from St. Jean to Santiago 2x and an additional time when I started in Le Puy. I have walked both the coastal and the Central routes of the Portugues from Lisbon...

    Happy Shavuot!!!

    If I remember correctly you may be right about the time you are allowed to break the fast. After looking it up I do believe this site is correct saying the fast last 25 hours...

    Paulo Coelho's "The Pilgrimage" to be made into a Netflix movie

    I prefer to think of them as mind enhancement!!!!! I guess it is all how you look at it. ;)

    Planning tips for Camino de Madrid

    I will be walking Madrid this year. I will walk the Aragones first starting around October 10. Probably start Madrid on about 19-20. I see you walked it last year. Any pearls of wisdom? Looks like a wonderful, quiet and pretty camino to walk with some really good albergues and donativos, like...

    Paulo Coelho's "The Pilgrimage" to be made into a Netflix movie

    Nope no psychedelics? Nope liking the books? Nope both? Or something in between!!!!! ;)

    Wondering whether the Via de la Plata is our next camino ....?

    I think if you leave early enough say end of February. When it starts to get hot you should be pretty close to Galicia and the weather will probably be more temperate. After those first 9 or 8 days I was never hot or cold again although when I was in Galicia there were some really chilly...
