    Renfe bookings from Santiago

    Hi - I've been waiting to book 2 June from Santiago dC to Madrid - finally the tickets are out! Funnily enough the luxury seats were cheaper than economy seats, so I took one.

    A Camino "dry run" - what I learned from the Milford Track

    I've recently completed the Milford Track here in NZ. Absolutely loved it and would recommend it to anyone who is fit and can get through the ballot process. My friend had pulled out a week beforehand due to long-Covid exhaustion, and I was very nervous about completing the track by myself...

    Show me your backpack!

    Going "off stage" - Camino Frances

    Hi - I'm researching for May 2024. I'm thinking about staying "off stage" for pretty much the whole Camino Frances, starting with Bordo/Orrison (yes, will book early!), then pushing past Roncesvalles for the 2nd night, and continue. Would be interested to hear from people who have Camino'ed...

    Sarah from New Zealand -What drew you to the Camino?

    Hi I've been lurking for a while, absorbing everything that is Camino! This is my first post. I'm aiming to do my first Camino in 2025 when I am 50, which will most likely be solo (ekk!). I am at a cross roads - I feel that five weeks of upright meditation (walking) will allow me to ponder...
