Sometime it happens when you look at the yellow arrow sign or the shell and cannot see them. Fortunately I had my wife with me and she...- LieutCol.Ret.

Hi, Sorry, but sinse I'm marching together with my wife we are staying in the hotels not in albergues. That's why I'm absolutely useless as the expert on that theme. Signs and markings of the way are better in Portugal. Nature, landscapes and architecture are excellent in both countries. The...- LieutCol.Ret.

Don’t worry Bene. God and Saint James will save you if you show the behavior of a Good Christian! Age is not important. Some guys were already the Regimental Commanders at the age of 18 and Joan of Arc was the Commander in Chief at the same age. So, don’t worry and follow the yellow arrows...- LieutCol.Ret.

medieval pilgrimage?
orlaithballach, That’s the good idea. In fact you are no first and no last who is thinking about that and who just accomplished it. Just do it. The easiest thing is just to put on medieval doublet, houses, boots or pilgrim’s robe. It will be just the colorful show. The most important think is...- LieutCol.Ret.

Re: Can I walk for a dead man? Hi alexwalker, First of all receive my condolence, please. I believe you can walk for a dead man. Walking Camino de Santiago for another person was usual matter in Middle Ages, for instance instead of infirm or very rich. Yes, you can accomplish your Camino to...- LieutCol.Ret.
