    Question about food at Orrison

    In spite of having recommended Orrison to several people, including a group of my current students who are doing the camino next month, I've never actually stayed there. The year we did the Frances there was a major late may snowstorm that trapped people in SJPDP for 3 days. Since we had a 13...

    I'm Back

    I haven't posted in a year or two but I'm going to try to be back more regularly now. Am living summers in Donostia/San Sebastián (the benefit of both being able to work from "home" in summers). Walked the Norte backwards about half a dozen times last summer from Donostia to Pasaia. That is...

    6 Ways to Santiago Bonus DVD

    My mother, wife, (then) 13 month old son, and I walked the Camino in 2013. I'm looking for Christmas presents for my mom, and was considering the Bonus Features DVD that can be added on to the Walking the Camino: 6 Ways to Santiago documentary that came out two years ago. We don't...

    Fisterra Statistics

    I'm currently working on a piece about the Camino and am trying to find statistics for apx how many pilgrims continue to Fisterra. Does anybody know where I can find those? I've scoured a lot of the camino statistics I've seen before on this forum (and even contributed to), but I haven't found...

    These boots were made for walkin'

    My boots made it through my 2013 camino pretty well, so I kept them for our daily 5 mile walks when we got home. By that Fall I bought a new pair just like them, but kept my camino boots for rainy/ugly/muddy days. Now those shoes are ready to become the "old" ones so it's about time to throw...

    We Walked it With a 14 Month Old

    If you are interested in following our journey, you can find our blog, El pequeno peregrino at: http://elpequenoperegrino.blogspot.com/ If you want to fast forward to the post with our opinions based on what we learned from the camino, that can be found at...

    We Walked it with a 14 Month Old

    So I couldn't decide which of the "Camino with a Baby" threads this best fit, so I decided to give it its own. My mother, wife, and I just finished walking the Frances from May 21 to June 21 with our then 14 month old son, from Iruna/Pamplona to Santiago (and then Cee to Fistera). We went to...

    Decisions, Decisions

    We step off from SJPdP on May 19. For a variety of reasons specific to our group's circumstances, we will each be carrying more weight than we should or would like to (between 13 and 20% depending on the person). We've spent a lot of money buying light weight gear and a lot of time parsing the...

    Older Altus poncho

    Hello there! I found these ponchos on sale and was wondering if people felt that it was the older style poncho? http://www.peregrinoteca.com/tienda/poncho-altus-atmospheric-nylon-verde-kaki-p-8241.html We want an altus but have heard about the newer ones. BTW, has anyone tried the light...

    Effects of the Pope's Resignation Upon the Camino

    My guess is no, but seems a worthy question. Does anyone think that the pope's retirement will have any effect on the camino short or long term? If so, what? The only thing I can imagine is that if they choose a Spanish or Basque pope (unlikely in both cases) you could instantly see a HUGE...

    Best Guidebook for historical/cultural/architecture etc

    We are trying to limit not carrying too many, or too heavy of a guidebook, but we are trying to find the one that is the best combination of good maps but, more than anything, gives a good cultural, historical, and architectural background to what we will be walking by. We own a couple of...

    May-June 2013

    We are leaving from SJPDP around the middle of may. I have been reading people giving advice about weather that time of year (though I'd be more than interested to hear more), but am mostly curious about how crowded we can expect it to be? Based on this forum's calendar, I see many more people...
