Hi specialists......(william,peter,ivar,javier and all the rest!),
Is there a walking track /route which Ignatius of Loyola has walked.....like a Camino?
I did never heard of it but someone told me that it is in the North of Spain and that it is a 14-days walk.
I walked the North route myself...
No...not the Camino Frances but just the Camino to Santiago de Compostella which is starting......from your house.
I know a few Dutch people who walked from their home to Santiago through France and after the Pyrenees they take the CF. Total km: 2700!!
Just curious about people here who...
Dear fellow-pelgrims,
I'm back from a wonderful 3,5 weeks walk with my wife Hanneke on the North Route! What a difference with the Camino Frances in all aspects. Nature, seaside walks, very few pelgrims and..... very heavy due to the up and downs along the coast.
I missed the real...
Hi all,
Tomorrow we are heading for Spain to do the Camino Norte starting in Irun!

Will try to post some info here while...

Hi all,
We walked and had fun in May 2005 with this optimistic ,both USA girls (mmm.... a little older than 20 years :D ) on the route after Léon and arrived at the same day at Santiago.
In Monto del Gozo we gave our email-adress to eachother but for some reason I did not find it anymore...
For those who are preparing: this is a 2xDVD which gives an impression of the route Roncevalles-Santiago.

IHello,
Maybe someone here can help me!

They also arrived in SdC at the same...
Hi peregrino's,
Does someone has some info about taking a boat from La Coruna to The Netherlands?
Is there a name of a boat-company?
I suppose the RENFE-site will not help me...... :D :D :D

Hi Peregrino's ,
Along the Camino Frances just after or before Melide (?) there's a little church in Furelo wit a statue of Jesus with his right arm hanging down.
I've never seen this before!
Does anybody know the story behind this statue?
Thanks,
Paul
