    Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice

    “To thine own self be true”. If you’re having trouble now you’ll have trouble on The Camino. My spouse decided to push thru pain and ended up needing to come home early. The Camino is a journey both physically, mentally and emotionally. You’ll have to answer that question for yourself.

    When plans go pear-shaped …. Need Meseta strategy with a recovering bruised hip

    My spouse had a bad hip too. She opted to send her pack ahead for several legs. You’re right, there isn’t convenient bus or train service thru the meseta.

    Two pilgrims trapped in tree by a cow

    We witnessed some pilgrim in a field with Bulls. The owner was screaming at him in Spanish to get out but he kept walking thru the herd. Understandable the owner was furious. Please, this is someone’s livelihood and property. We are guests.

    Los Arcos accommodation..

    I don’t remember a lot of choices. We stayed at Albergue de la Fuente. If you want privacy, go with the Pensions.

    Where does the bus to SJPP drop you off?

    It’s a small village. They drop you at the bus drop off and it’s a short walk to the tourist center. Super easy

    Any advice for when you want to quit?

    My spouse had to leave the Camino and go home early. Thought the hip & leg pain was muscle or arthritis related but it turns out she needs a total hip replacement. She’s 59. We’ve had to wait 2 months for the surgery and it will require several months to return to normal. She tried to push...

    Drones

    2 men flying their drone around the Cruz de Farro this morning. I was hoping for a quiet moment of reflection but instead I got noise. Please be mindful of other’s experiences here on the Camino. Fly your drones when pilgrims aren’t around. Thanks!
