    Coffee in the Morning?

    Hi I did the entire Norte last June, it was ok(ish) to find somewhere early for the first week or so, but as you progress, & it gets more rural, & I did struggle to find anywhere open early doors. It's a beautiful camino, with stunning scenery, enjoy

    What made you pick your 2nd or next camino choice?

    Hi, I did the CF in 2021, & last year wanted a different experience, so I did the Camino De Norte, stunning scenery, quiet, but a bit more expensive, the infrastructure isn't as good as the CF, but that's part of the experience.....highly recommended

    Tradition…. When to start wearing your scallop shell?

    Hi all, I believe that the scallop shell has a few theories, like the "fingers" all end at the same point, symbolising the various camino routes all ending at SDC, or that the ancient pilgrims used it as a eating & drinking implement. It would be interesting to see the history & myths...
