    A Few Hours in Santiago

    I have spent time in Santiago 4 times after walking parts of the Camino, and enjoyed wandering about exploring. This year I will be there for a few hours on Sunday April 30th. What should I do? And what time is the main Sunday Mass?

    Camino Companions 2016?

    I would like to walk the Camino again in 2016, but I don't want to do it alone. Is there anyone or any group out there planning to travel together to and from England who would be prepared to share the experience with a reasonably active and lively 70 year old woman?

    Tosantos

    On 17th October 2012 I stayed for the night at the Albergue Parroquial de Tosantos, a Franciscan house where we were given a great welcome. Our group of five English pilgrims helped to prepare the evening meal and I sang some Taize chants with hospitalier Jose Luiz before, having shared our meal...

    Oldies on the Camino

    Having walked 450 miles of the Camino in four stages I am bringing a group of nineteen mostly older people to experience something of the experience next week, 2-11 June. We are travelling from Rugby in England and there are only a couple of us who would be able to walk the Way, although many...

    Give me the ******* Compostela

    I followed a link to this Facebook video last week but have lost it. I couldn't stop laughing! Could someone remind me of the link, please?

    June 2015 Opportunity

    Hi Everyone, After walking the Camino Frances I am giving the opportunity to people who cannot undertake the walk to experience something of the Camino, by organising a Parish Pilgrimage (not heavily religious) by coach from St. Jean Pied de Port over the Pyrenees and across Northern Spain to...

    Le Puy in May

    I walked the Camino Frances (except the Meseta, sadly) last year. This May I am walking from Le Puy to Conques. Will it be similar. or different?

    Le Puy to Conques - Contours?

    I will be walking from Le Puy to Conques in May and am anxious about the gradient. I have walked from SJPdP to Santiago (skipping the Meseta) and found the Brierly diagrams showing the ups and downs very useful. Is there anything similar available for le Puy to Conques? I know you can buy...

    Camino Prayers

    I hope this isn't breaking the rules about religious disussion, but does anyone know of any Camino prayers other than the one from O'Cebreiro?

    Collecting Sellos in France?

    Does the Credential apply only from St. Jean Pied de Port, or are sellos collected as far back as Le Puy? If so, are credentials issued there too?

    Ramblers on the Camino

    Just got back from walking the scenic bits between Leon and Santiago with the Ramblers' Association. I'm going back September 1-8 to walk every step of the way from Sarria to Santiago, but this was a different experience. I had 18 fellow walkers and a Leader, a very mixed group, most much...

    LOST PROPERTY

    Last week, en route from Leon to Sarria (near that awful scarecrow of a pilgrim) I found a ladies' watch in the grass at the side of the road. Last October at Chemin de l'Esprit in St. JPdP I found a pair of sunglasses hanging from a top bunk. I have both these items at home with me in England...

    Finisterre/Muxia

    I am likely to have one day to spare in Santiago. Not enough time to walk further, but would you recommend trying to get to Muxia or Finisterre? What is the difference? Is there a bus or minibus that allows for a day trip?

    What to tell people

    I have been asked to show my photos of the Camino and to give a talk to members of a local church women's group next month and would like to know what Forum members think the most important thing is that I should tell them about the Camino. Apparently they have never heard of the camino before...

    Organised Groups

    I'm a 67-year-old English woman with no experience of travelling alone, so when I wanted to walk the Camino I looked for people to travel with. Last October I walked the first 180 miles, from St. Jean Pied de Port to Burgos, with a small group from Peterborough Pilgrims, staying in albergues...

    Burgos to Leon in 2013

    I want to walk from Burgos to Leon in March or April and have been looking at Macs Travel. To get there and back from England looks like Ryanair from Stanstead to Santander and back, which is fine. The scary bit, from my point of view, is buses from Santander to Burgos and then from Leon to...

    Groups walking in 2013?

    Are there are English groups walking to Santiago from Burgos/ Leon/ Sarria in 2013 that would welcome an extra pilgrim?

    Trench Foot?

    Hi Everyone! I walked from St. Jean to Burgos in October and, from a 'hot spot' on the first day, my feet blistered and began to rot. I have walked all over the world in walking boots before but never for so long, and had no problems apart from the odd dry blister. In the alberque at San...

    Getting to Burgos 2013

    I am hoping to continue my pilgrimage from Burgos sometime during 2013. I'm happy flying to Burgos (though I think it means 2 flights), and I'm happy once I get to the Cathedral, it's getting from the airport to the Cathedral that bothers me. Is anyone else planning to do that this year who...
