    Craziest thing you've seen someone bring on Camino

    On my third Camino, I met a youngish (30s?) woman (from California?) in Logroño with a rolling suitcase filled with large tubs of protein powder (or some such health supplements) which she shipped ahead. She also taxied between various towns on several Caminos because she thought she "failed" to...

    Albergue Burgos March 22 2016

    If you are thinking of spraying with permethrin, and you are a pet owner, you should know it is highly toxic to cats and fish. http://icatcare.org/permethrin/owner-info http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/metiram-propoxur/permethrin-ext.html

    Albergues to avoid this winter

    How do you get to the Peaceable Kingdom, Rebekah? When I was in Moratinos back in 2014, I wanted to stay there but couldn't find it. Ended up walking on to Sahagun.

    Are Internet cafes obsolete?

    One little tip to add to the e-boarding pass discussion -- for all important travel documents (accommodations, travel confirmations) that you received via email, take screen shots so you have them in your photos. I learned the hard way in a taxi in NYC when I couldn't recall the name or address...

    Police arrest suspect related to Denise's case

    I was hoping Denise would be found alive, even after all this time. So sad for her family and friends. Rest in peace, Denise.

    Comment by 'Camino Yogini' in media 'Thoughts on Camino de Santiago - YouTube'

    I loved this video for years. So simple and so true. And so very timely as I delay over packing my things and leaving Santiago.

    How do I get to Somport to start Camino Aragones?

    Hola peregrinos, After a great deal of deliberation and vacillating back and forth, I've decided part of my route will be the Camino Aragones beginning in Somport (and depending on how much time I have and if I'm sick of all the hordes, I may switch to Salvador/Primitivo after León). What are...

    Lycian Way in Turkey

    Hi all, Thanks very much for your advice, especially to Stratophile for your very detailed information and jirit for your links. We ended up deciding against doing the Lycian Way. It was just a little too much like camping for us -- the need to bring a small camp stove, and iodine tablets, and...

    French pilgrim arrested for graffiti on Camino mojones

    At first, I got it mixed up with 'cajones'. Oh, my command (or lack thereof) of the Spanish language will get me in trouble yet!

    Lycian Way in Turkey

    Jirit, did you and your wife eventually do the Lycian Way this past spring? One of my peregrina angels and I are thinking of doing it this fall. But several people (who haven't done it) expressed reservations about two women walking alone in a Muslim country, especially in the rural areas. Both...

    Help with an Altus Poncho

    One week later and my shipment from Ferrovicmar has arrived in Canada. Unfortunately, this Altus poncho is identical to the one I already have, except that the Altus logo is bigger. And it's a S while my older one is XS, which was big enough. $70+ bucks wasted.

    Ooohh! Neat way to organize next day's walking clothes

    Kiwi-family Rachael -- wow, you're good! My pack isn't quite that minimalist. What do you wear when your walking clothes are drying? Could they be packed this way?

    Help with an Altus Poncho

    That power tools site is correct. You need to enter "altus atmospheric" in the search box at the top.

    Ooohh! Neat way to organize next day's walking clothes

    Sorry, folks. Try this link instead. It's life hack #42 and is a series of photos rather than the video but you'll get the idea. http://www.epicdash.com/the-46-most-brilliant-life-hacks-every-human-being-needs-to-make-life-easier/ Fingers crossed.

    Ooohh! Neat way to organize next day's walking clothes

    Shoot! Possibly because it's someone's Facebook video. I'll try to figure a way around it. Thanks for telling me.

    Ooohh! Neat way to organize next day's walking clothes

    This is for a child's beach outfit but it might work for a summer pilgrim, especially useful if s/he leaves before most pilgrims wake and wants to keep the rustling to a minimum. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10152169583640952&id=612460951 I love simple solutions! Ultreia!

    Help with an Altus Poncho

    Ditto! I also followed gittihare's suggestion and ordered a poncho from Ferrovicmar. I was bounced out of the PayPal order though so tried it again using my VISA. This better be the right poncho! Between the exchange rate and shipping charge to Canada, this thing cost over $70! Or at least I...

    Help with an Altus Poncho

    Thank you, wayfarer. Though now that gittiharre has explained the complicated world of Altus ponchos, I will try to to get the S3 first. Failing that, I will look for a fabric sealant. Did it add much to the weight?

    New 'Compostela' only available this year

    This is really neat, Thomr. Thanks for letting us know. Another reason why I should go on Camino this year too. Are there any limitations such as any routes you must take, distance you must travel, or mode of travel? Your post about the nautical pilgrimage suggests to me that there aren't but I...
