    Holy Week Experience

    I am curious and am wondering (for those currently on pilgrimage), what was your experience during Holy Week? Did you observe a procession? What was your highlight and what would be your advice for those who walk this week next year? Please help us reminisce and plan! Million Thanks Mike

    Semana Santa - how to get a good night’s sleep?

    Three of my Caminos included Semana Santa (on both the Frances & VDLP) and I remember having difficulty getting a complete night sleep due to the processions and the early morning festivities of what seemed the entire village and/or city. I never developed a good strategy to balance watching the...

    Camino Family Experience

    Now that my walking is completed, I continue my Camino passion through the Forum, books and memories. The past few weeks I have been reflecting on my Camino Family experiences and I appreciate your thoughts and comments. It seemed a natural dynamic process of building a Camino Family on the...

    How has the Camino changed you.

    Greetings, My apologies to the Moderators if this a duplicate thread…searching through >60,000 questions isn’t an exact science…. please modify as needed. I have noticed since my Camino experiences (6X), I have developed some new routines, habits and perspective. For example, I quietly slip out...

    International Camino Badges

    I appreciate your help, as I have found a new Camino obsession. I am committed to the collection of all of the national Camino association badges from across the world. The ”Camino Wall” in my bedroom would be greatly enhanced with a tapestry of badges. This is daunting task is beyond my...

    Two Weeks on the Lana

    Based on family commitments and overlapping schedules, I am limited to a two week Camino this year. There are so many Camino choices, but I believe the Lana is for me. For those who have enjoyed their experience, I appreciate your thought/suggestions on where to start. Thanks to all Mike

    Then & Now

    It is well documented the Camino Frances has experienced an incredible investment in renovation/new alburgues, tiendas, bars, restaurants and other facilities during the past years. Has anyone or group collected photos from earlier years (since the turn of this century) or perhaps there are two...

    Blame me....

    Go ahead and blame me. During the past few weeks I have spoken to four groups about the Camino. I have shared a marvelous PowerPoint presentation of the Camino Frances and the Plata, passed around my Sellos/Compostelas and revealed the joys of solitude, the closeness of Camino families and...

    Writer’s Block

    Over the past month I have been mentally outlining my Camino de Santiago book. It has taken me five Caminos in six years to discover this noble calling and capture almost enough material to win a Pulitzer. I need a couple of worthy themes to make this book a best seller. I promise to footnote...

    Noted Evolution

    I am unafraid to confess that the Camino and the Forum have become a significant part of mylife. I seem to be perpetually reviewing the Forum while I plan my next Camino. My question is about the evolution of the “Pilgrim” over past few years as reflected in the questions and commentary posted...

    New Knee

    Last October, my chronic knee played out in Nájera which forced my abandonment of the CF. With the help of a great surgeon and an evil physical therapist, I am back training for my next Camino with a brand new knee. With this bionic equipment, I intend to be a smarter pilgrim by traveling...

    Camino de Madrid - mid October start

    It is time to return to the Camino; 18 months of 'normal life' is enough! Last March (2015) I walked the VDLP and enjoyed the solitude and quiet of the albergues. From all the shared CdM post, I am in for a treat. My only questions: - Should I be concerned about albergues on the CdM being open...

    Late October Camino Frances

    I love this forum and wish all my interest had similar expertly supported sites! I love to complete a September pilgrimage, but am committed to a late October Camino due to a family commitment. I have read advice and experiences of a late fall Camino and was wondering if there are any words of...

    Forum Addiction

    I may be beyond help as I am consistently checking my iPhone for any unread entries from Camino de Santiago forum members. Regardless of the route, topic or question, I am always hungry for news, advice, opinions. questions and humor that is readily available regardless of time of day. Before...

    Giving Thanks

    This past Spring, I had a painful/infected toe that was treated at the Najera medical clinic at no charge. As I reflect upon all the goodness that was shown to me on my Camino, this clinic empathy and skills stands out as I was able to complete my journey - pain free! I want to send a gift and...

    Overcoming Objections

    I received so many gifts on my Camino that I almost must insist that at least one of my friends share my return. What advice can you suggest that will help address their doubts/fears?

    You know you are a seasoned pilgrim, when you

    I believe some of the best advice comes in small terse statements and reflect the lessons learned the hard way. These lessons can be learned in the opening days of your camino or be accumulated over several pilgrimages to Sanitago. Please share the insightful moment when you knew you a...

My biggest issue is purchasing a bus ticket from Madrid to Pamplona. Based upon earlier wise postings, I...
