  1. DJO Camino 2022

    LIVE from the Camino Camino del Salvador, April 2024

    Buen camino! I will follow in just over a week :)

    Taramundi Knives and León

    Great find! This is exactly what I needed. I have been in contact with them and they are now on my radar as I do last minute prep before my start.

    Taramundi Knives and León

    A good heads up and reminder. In 2022 I travelled by train in Spain and my folding knife was not a problem.

    Taramundi Knives and León

    To avoid any transport issues I use carryon for my backpack thus I cannot carry a pocket knife with me flying to Spain. When doing caminos and outdoor activities I find it helpful having a knife that serves all kinds of functions in this capacity. I am trying to figure out how to purchase a...

    Thanks for the details and also providing comparative details.🙏🏽

    Trail Runners?

    Thanks to all for your input. The terrain I have observed on vlogs appeared manageable for a lighter footwear and from responses to my question I am good to go. Much appreciated!

    Trail Runners?

    When choosing footwear for the Camino de Frances I chose a trail runner and never regretted this, enjoying good comfort and support throughout my walk. Water proof, breathable and light weight were key. I am now planning to walk both the Camino San Salvador and Primitivo this year. From your...

    Walking from Gijón to Oviedo: First Stage of Primitivo Route

    Thanks guys for this. This poses an interesting and enticing option. I will look up the details regarding the San Salvador Camino. Due to time restrictions I may have to trade off the Finisterre-Muxía segment for this extension to happen and simply close at Santiago as I did in 2022.

    Walking from Gijón to Oviedo: First Stage of Primitivo Route

    Excellent. Thanks for all the timely and clear inputs. This is most helpful as I continue to preplan my next camino. 🙏🏽

    Walking from Gijón to Oviedo: First Stage of Primitivo Route

    Initially I used a distance app which did follow the highway from Gijón to Oviedo which is not what I would want to do. It appears that either Villaviciosa to Oviedo is the better way. From Madrid to Villaviciosa via public transport poses a bit of multiple transferring.

    Walking from Gijón to Oviedo: First Stage of Primitivo Route

    Thank you for this information. Some Primitivo books suggest starting from Villaviciosa. I initially was planning this as my start of my camino adding two more days to the front end but transport there seemed more of a challenge than Gijón. In light of your advice it appears Oviedo can be...

    Walking from Gijón to Oviedo: First Stage of Primitivo Route

    I am planning to walk the Primitivo in 2024 and thought I would start at Gijón as it is easily accessed from Madrid. I would fly into Madrid from Canada. Has anyone had experience walking a route from Gijón to Oviedo (27 km) as a first stage to The Primitivo rather than beginning in Villaviciosa?

    Brierley’s Legacy

    John Brierley’s book was my constant companion and guide, in very pragmatic and spiritual ways, on my Camino 2022. As I look to 2024, will his camino guides ever be updated to carry future pilgrims on the Ways? His story lives on in all of ours.

    Castrojeriz to Rabanal

    Thanks for everyone’s thoughts on this strange path I am trying to pull off. From what I am gathering it is looking less direct a one train route. I could add another day of walking in the Meseta from Castrojeriz to Frómista. Then catch a train from Frómista to Palencia then transfer to a train...

    Castrojeriz to Rabanal

    From what others are saying your suggestion is more seamless, one train that covers the distance in one day and with two departure options in the day?

    Castrojeriz to Rabanal

    I am in the planning stages of a 3 week camino on the Camino de Frances and know I will not complete the entire route. I was thinking to “jump” from Castrojeriz to Rabanal but not sure how to do this and even if this is possible using public transport? Any advice or suggestions are welcome as I...
