    LIVE from the Camino Camino de Invierno mid-April 2024

    Day 1: Ponferrada to Villavieja As usual, life has a habit of changing plans so we found ourselves on the Invierno a month later than expected. Regardless though, we are happy to finally get started! Day 1 was a hard one right from the off. We flew into Madrid late yesterday evening and took...

    Dear all, Sometimes you don't see the forest for all the trees, so I'm seeking some advice here.

    Old ways and new partners - introducing your partner to pilgrimage

    Dear all, I’ve first signed up for this forum a decade ago, shortly before walking the CF. Since then, I have only had one opportunity to come back to Spain - walking the VdlP just before Covid.
