    Can anyone recommend some picture heavy resources of the Camino?

    Howdy y'all. I walked the Camino back in 2012. Did the 'traditional' route of SJPP to Santiago then Muxia and Finisterre. Had a *wonderful* time and it was a tremendous experience that has been a positive influence in my life and was just about everything one might want from their Camino...

    Have y'all seen the video of this guy? Lots of bad decision

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSUd9aw_-yM Take heed future travelers of the perils you can get yourself into if you don't listen! Two main problems: 1) Left at 12 PM for a 6 - 10 hour long trek. 2) Left when he was warned not to. Hell, it was raining when he left! Good news is he...

    Compostella and finisterre questions

    I'm coming into the final stretch of my Camino as I go to sarria tomorrow. Hard to believe I've already walked 600 km...anyhow, ive a few questions about getting the compostella. 1. Do they take your credencials away from you and give you the compostella in return or can you keep them all...

    Been a while but, I did make it. And some wisdom gained sin

    Just posting that I did make it to the Camino and am currently in Burgos, so been at it a while now. 1. If I had to do it again, I'd stay in Orisson. Not because of the distance, but rather the weather. The first half of the day was great, but at the top part along where the numbered...

    Checking baggage or bringing it through security?

    Is it better to check the backpack and tell them where it needs to go (I have to make a transfer flight before going over seas) or bring it through security (TSA) and risk having to unpack everything?

    There is one last thing I'm worried about: albergues filling

    So I see this as a two part post I guess. 1) What happens if you arrive to a municipal albergue and it's full? For instance I get to Roncesvalles (I know that one is large, but just the first one that came to mind) and it's all full? Will other albergues/hostels be more expensive? Will I...

    Is a sleeping bag liner enough for June and July Camino?

    Will be staying in albuergues and hostels along the way. I'm wondering if just a liner will be sufficient to keep me warm or if i should bring the full sleeping bag with me? From searching it seems that anytime past May you can bring just a liner and be OK? What's more confusing is you read...

    Help me get to SJPP from Germany (cheaply too?)

    So from my understanding there's a myriad of options from Bayonne to SJPP. Taxi, which I assume is expensive. Railway, which from what I understand isn't working because it's under construction through July? And Bus, which...I know nothing about. My current plan is, since I'm coming from...

    Opinions on my loadout? Pretty sure I'm taking too much..

    So in about two months I'll be on my way, and I'm starting to get...antsy. Am I bringing too much? I think I am, but don't know what to take out. It all seems crucial here. Was hoping some of the more experienced pilgrims here could help narrow this down a bit and go "yah, you're never going...

    Howdy y'all, I'll be a first timer in late May, early June '

    Guess I'll start out by introducing myself: I'm from Texas and currently in veterinary school. Ever since I've heard of the Camino, I've thought it's something I'd really like to do if I'm ever in Europe. Well, turns out I will be in Europe in the summer of 2012, sometime around early June...
