    Queues at the Cathedral?

    I have walked to Santiago 4 times in the last 2 years and as long as I’ve been in line by 10 am I have not had an issue getting in and getting a front pew. As a bonus I have see the Botafumeiro swing twice.

    Pre Camino Nerves

    Hello, Your feelings are so familiar to me as I have anxiety leading up to each of the 4 Caminos that I’ve done. Anxiety comeS from the future as it is the unknown and you may well know this. The Camino taught me to better stay in the present and that is how I deal with leaving for a Camino...

    What I found on the CF

    I love reading this because your Camino was so similar to mine. I also walked the CF this fall, been home for 3 weeks, and reading your account reminds me of all the special people that I met.

    Is Whatsapp enough on the Primitivo?

    I also use WhatsApp but when landing in Madrid I just stop in to the phone store at the airport and get a sim which they set up for me, simple and inexpensive. I’ve used esim in the past and simply prefer a physical sim. Either way enjoy your Camino!!

    Camino primitivo for my first Camino

    I walked the Primitivo late Sept 2021 and it was my first Camino. I was 66 at the time and in reasonable shape. It is difficult at times but certainly vey doable for most people I think. Like others have said, start out easy and just take it as it comes, you will be fine. Buen Camino

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I do have euros from last year and I’ll take some USD to convert if needed and I will go to the ATM at Madrid airport when I land. Buen Camino!

    US ATM cards not working

    I am hearing today from a number of American travelers that they are experiencing problems with getting euros at bank ATM machines with US issued debit cards. It involves a number of people from around the US and different banks. The Spanish banks have said that it is not a problem with thier...

    (Sports) massage in Santiago?

    I used a place called Belmu, just a short walk from the Cathedral. Like you, I wanted a deep/sports massage and it was exactly what I needed. I will go there again this year when I finish the CF.
