    Book - The Roads to Santiago de Compostela

    I found this interesting book in the gift shop of the castle located on the top of the big rock in downtown Lourdes (France): http://www.msm-editions.fr/spip.php?article111 . I'm not sure where else it may be found, but a search on the ISBM 978-2-3508-0046-2 will show some possible sources.

    Blogger App for iPhone

    When we walked the Camino in 2013, my wife and I both had Android phones and used the Blogger app to post to our Blogspot blog. I never really cared for the Android OS, so we eventually switched to iPhones. We're planning to walk the Camino Portugués in May, and wish to make occasional posts...

    Cell phone for Camino Portugués

    When I walked the Camino Francés in 2013, I took an unlocked, non-smart phone and used an Orange SIM card for voice and text only. It worked great all along the CF. I also had my locked Verizon CDMA smart phone, which I used for wifi only when I needed internet access. Again this worked fine...

    Paul's Boots

    This is not related directly to the Camino, but it is related to the spirit of the Camino. It's an inspirational short film about an Australian who wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail, a long-distance hiking trail (approx 2200 miles/3500 km) in the eastern U.S. Paul died before he could make...

    Lost and Found

    There have been many threads regarding the safety and security of backpacks and other luggage along the various routes of the Camino. In spite of all the advice that's been given, we let our guard down just once and paid the price. Here's what happened to us when our backpacks were stolen on...

    Stolen backpack; need email addresses

    Through an act of carelessness on my part, our backpacks "mysteriously disappeared" (my wife tells me not to say they were stolen) in Santiago after the completion of our Camino last week. This is not to re-hash the circumstances or the sad list of things we lost, but to issue a plea to any of...

    Gmap-pedometer

    Has anyone created Camino route maps using the program gmap-pedometer (gmap-pedometer.com)? I've been using this program to lay out hikes for my hiking club for several years, and lately have been using it to plan training hikes for my Camino later this year, but wonder if anyone has actually...
