Maybe you remember in January we posted sad news about our pensión, because of some family-health problem we couldn't open Corazón Puro for the 2017 season. We are still in Hungary trying to arrange all of our duties. Recently we have received...

    A Camino Race - Really

    I may be late to the party with this story, but I just learned of it 20 minutes ago. To me, it seems completely unnecessary. http://caminotravelcenter.com/the-camino-de-santiago-is-hosting-the-first-pilgrims-race-in-june-2017/

    Small world - Don't cha love it!

    What route

    What is the route that goes through Bielsa, Spain? In the Pyrenees. We were in that area last year and there are mile markers and pilgrims, but I'm not sure which route it is. Sure is beautiful, though. Thanks in advance. Buddy

    Scam?

    On the way out of Logroño a couple of days ago, we were approached by a man who was walking toward Logroño. He claimed to be a long distance pilgrim, with a quick but elaborate story about his travels. He said his credit card had been destroyed in an ATM, and he was being required to walk back...

    Media Comments

    This is just FYI for anyone having this issue...... I was unable to view comments on the media I had posted, or any posted media . I would get a Loading.... in the comments section and nothing would ever load. Messing around with it this morning I discovered that I was using an optional view...

    A specific backpack question

    My wife and I are returning to walk the Camino again this year. We both have the mochilas we used in 2012, but we're thinking about something different. My wife wants a larger pack, and I want a smaller one. Has anyone used the Gregory Savant/Sage packs? Online they look like they are...
