    Camino miracles

    "Miracles are in short supply" is a line from that Movie but in my case the serendipity of meeting and making so many friends over the past years has been an incredible experience.

    Need Help / Advice on Accommodation in San Sebastian and Northern Route

    Why not stay 2 nights? If it meets your budget, take a rest day and enjoy the beach and tapas bars.

    Need Help / Advice on Accommodation in San Sebastian and Northern Route

    I did an AirBnB one time which was very central. It was only a bedroom in an apartment that I shared with the owner and their young family. A simple continental breakfast was included but I have no memory of what I paid, but it wasn’t very much.

    Need Help / Advice on Accommodation in San Sebastian and Northern Route

    A Room in The City in San Sebastian is a very popular low priced hostel. It might be hard to get a bunk based on summer traffic but worth trying, good location and well run.

    Caminho without a phone

    So the mugging was in Faro. What time of day and where exactly?

    Caminho without a phone

    I am from the same mindset and era as Bradypus, forced to resign from walking Camino in 2019 due to my health. I remember finding lodging each night without a reservation and using computers in libraries along the way to communicate with friends. Life is no longer as blissful as my memories are...

    Disfrutar named best restaurant in world.

    I had the good fortune to eat at el Bulli shortly before it closed in 2011 and was able to have a drink with Ferran Adria that night. I am very surprised that Arzak along with a long list of other places in San Sebastian did not make this list. San Sebastian is by far the best restaurant scene...

    Busy in the bars of Spain

    The Sunday sports routine on television is motorcycle racing from all corners of Spain.

    Bronze Scallop Shell…Carry-on?

    I have lost cork screws to airport security numerous times, that is understandable. One time at CDG I had a carabiner clip removed from my backpack because it supposedly could be used as substitute for brass knuckles. The worst case was a business trip I did, when I awarded stars to my top...

    Necessary to reserve gites?

    As a courtesy, I would especially if you are expecting to be eating your evening meal at the gite.

    post Camino walk...any advice?

    Hey Nick, Bom Dia, you beat me to the advice columns once again. I hope you are enjoying life in Rome, as much as I am hating life back in Florida?

    post Camino walk...any advice?

    Walk if you must, but a vacay to Porto, Lisbon or A Coruna by bus would be my advice and to your feet after doing 800km.

    Camino Baztan: Advice, please.

    Be prepared for some long walks and have a place to stay in mind before you join up with the CF.

    I have now narrowed my book choice down to two.

    Dated history, a great oxymoron!

    How Camino starts..

    The airport in Atlanta looked like Time Square on New Year night on Thursday afternoon!!! Travelers beware.

    I have now narrowed my book choice down to two.

    Pillars is great read for a history buff and architect like me, especially imagining how the Templars were able to build structures like San Anton. Michener's book is a little dated, Mark Kurlansky has written about the history of the Basque population and Rebekah Scott has contributed a great...

    Memory lane

    Been there, done that so many times from SJPdP that I could write a book about that first day....
