    Can anyone tell me where this crucifix is?

    I have stopped at this church every time I've walked the Camino, but I can't remember the town except that it starts with an F and it's in the last 100km. Does anyone know where it is?

    Camino routes based on ease of biking and guidebooks to go with them?

    This will be my first time as a bicigrina, and I found the cicerone Camino Frances biking guidebook. I’ve read on other threads that there are better guidebooks out there, so would it be possible to get titles and/or where I can purchase them? Second, Even though my doctor has said that walking...

    First (ish) time biking, 4th Camino

    Hey, All. I’m about to do my 4th Camino, this time by bike, due to ongoing tendon issues in my feet. This year will be unique because I will be biking the shorter walking stages while a friend walks, but the idea of transitioning from a walking pilgrimage to a biking pilgrimage has me a little...

    Has anyone ever biked the Camino while a loved one walked?

    Hey, everyone! I'm currently planning my 4th Camino with a friend who has never walked before, and we plan to do the Frances. Since this is my 3rd time on the Frances, I'm thinking about biking the Camino while she walks, mostly because I seem to struggle with tendinitis in both my feet...

    Walking in a "skort" (skirt/shorts hybrid)

    I have one set of the cheap one from Decathlon, and then 3 from Costco (unsure of the brand). My beef with them is that the shorts don't stay in place, so I had to add a rubberized elastic to the legs so they didn't roll up. If you have any recommendations, I would love to hear yours! Ruth...

    Detour to see the Eunate Church

    Hey, All! I'm planning for a Camino next summer (2022), and I've been wanting to do the detour to see the Eunate Church. Does anyone know if it is currently open and/or if it will be open next summer? Also, how well-marked is the detour to go and see the church there? This last actually...

    Best way to travel from Santiago to SJPDP?

    Hey, All. I'm looking at flights from the US to Europe, and I just noticed that flights to/from Santiago are actually in my price range for next year. So, now I'm trying to figure out how to get from Santiago to SJPDP in the most economical way both time and $-wise. Does anyone have some...

    Going through the Pórtico De Gloria this Holy Year

    Hey, All! I just wanted to let all of you know that there is only a limited number of tickets each day to go through the Porto de Gloria at the Cathedral here in Santiago, and you have to register for your ticket in advance. I went looking yesterday for a ticket, and wasn't able to find one...

    To book or not to book ahead post Covid?

    So, I'm having my pack carried, so I have a rough idea of where I'm going to be staying each night, but I haven't booked where I'm staying each night yet. Part of that is because I plan to stay in a mix of Albergues and Casa Rural/Hostels, and part of that is because I'm not even sure of where...

    Looking for a documentary/tv episode...

    Hey, All! I got interested in the Camino because I saw a documentary and/or tv show hosted by Robin Leach (lifestyles of the rich and famous guy) about the Camino while in High School (early 90's). As I prepare for my 3rd Camino this summer, I'd really like to see this show again. Has...

    List of Albergues/Hostels currently open?

    Hey, All. I noticed that there is a current list of Albergues on the CF, but I'm not seeing something similar for the Camino Portuguese. Does anyone know if something like that exists? I'm hoping to do shorter stages starting in Tomar, and according to the Godesalco.com website, I should be...

    Walking the CP this summer?

    Hey, all! I'm embarking on my 3rd Camino on the Camino Portuguese starting on July 2nd from Lisbon, and I'm beginning to get excited! My plane leaves on June 30th from TX. Anyone else doing the CP about that time? Ruth

    Pack Carrying Services from Lisbon to Porto and beyond...

    Hey, All. I'm beginning to plan my Camino for next summer (hopefully, it will be possible: I'm crossing my fingers for a vaccine!!!), and I'm trying to figure out a way to have my pack carried ahead for me from Lisbon to Porto without going through a tour company. I'm also wanting to walk the...

    Gluten and Dairy Free

    So, I'm 22 days away from starting my second Camino, and since the last time I was there, I have had to go dairy free (I was gluten free the last time, and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to find foods that I could eat). Last time, buying hunks of hard cheese were my go-to food for...

    Question about Valcarlos Route from SJPDP

    So, I'm about a month out from my 2nd Camino, and because of foot issues, do not plan to even attempt the Route Napoleon, in spite of the fact that it is supposed to be the prettier of the 2 routes. I also plan to stop for the night in Valcarlos. First, has anyone walked this way, and can...

    LIVE from the Camino Is this normal?

    So, here I am, about 4 days away from finishing my first Camino, and I am already saying things like, "on my next Camino..." I already have plans to add a Camino fund category to my budget. Am I crazy?!! Blessings, Ruth

    Tendonitis

    Howdy from Leon, all. I am currently about one week into my Camino from Burgos, and after taking the train from Sahagun to Leon today, found out from the doctor that I have tendonitis. It seems to be a mild case, but I'm currently on rest and he told me that, after my rest is over, I shouldn't...

    Low gluten hosts....

    Hi, all. I am on the home stretch of preparing for my Pilgrimage, which begins on Aug. 29th ( although I won't begin walking until the 31st....I arrive in Madrid on the 30th, then begin walking from Burgos on the 31st). I am hoping to go to daily Mass while walking, but I am gluten-free. I...

    Return flights...

    Hi, all. I'm trying to book my flight (well, price it so that I can, hopefully, book it as soon as I get paid in June), and I'm noticing that it is cheaper to fly back home out of La Coruna or Vigo by close to $100 US than it is to fly out of Santiago de Compostela (SCQ). How easy/hard is it...

    Starting from Lourdes?

    Hey, all. I have been planning my trip to walk the Camino so that I could take a side trip to Lourdes and be there for Dec. 8th, then start walking from SJPDP on the 9th. It just occurred to me, though, that I might be able to start walking from Lourdes. Has anyone done that before, and could...
