    Acogida Tradicional Jacobea receives official protection

    I first saw this on Dave Whitson's blog. I'd like to make a donation to these albergues/the ATJ association. Does anyone know how?

    Looking for a Freestanding Dome Tent for Camino Trip

    And you held them over fire? How did that work? And you drilled the holes with an electric drill? I ask because I want to do this, it sounds like a great trick!

    Looking for lightweight tent

    I am looking for a very lightweight tent for upcoming Caminos and/or other pilgrimages. I'm one person and would prefer to keep my backpack in the tent with me. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Shell clip art for tattoo?

    I'm thinking of getting a tattoo of this shell. I'm looking for clip art or some image of it with no background, just the shell in black. Anyone know where I can find one?

    First Camino help please: should we depend on Albergues or book nightly arrangements with a company?

    My general advice to all pilgrims is not to book ahead. Part of the experience is seeing what the Camino brings you. The Camino teaches us to trust in providence. To pray that things will work out--and we see that they do! If you are open to camping, you can bring an ultra light tent and use it...

    A gentleman's undercarriage question regarding chafing......

    More info on the Codex?

    Could anyone point me toward the Codex? I have English translations of Book II (Music) and Book IV (Miracles) But I'm curious about the other books and also if they exist together anywhere. I'm also curious about organizational structure, subtitles, layout, and the way things appear on the...

    Looking for copy of Guide Orange: Cluny--> Le Puy

    Hola Peregrinos, I'm looking for a copy of the Guide Orange from Cluny to Le Puy. (particularly in the year 2013.) The CSJ doesn't seem to sell it anymore. I need it for some research I'm doing. Does anyone have a copy they'd be willing to loan or sell me? (or perhaps scan a pdf of?) Thank...

    What happens is if there are no beds?

    I've found sleeping outside--on the edge of a farm or in a patch of trees--a surprisingly easy alternative.

    Nuestro camino

    You'll be walking for many hours a day. Maybe 8? So you'll want to train a lot. Be sure to wear you hiking boots as much as you can before going so you break them in. Carry your backpack with you as well. If you haven't yet packed it, try putting in some weights--I wrapped up some bricks. The...

    Which cities to "skip"?

    To me, so much of the experience is that unbroken walking. The chain you are creating with your steps. I think that experience is more meaningful than particular landscapes (as beautiful as the pass from SJPP to Roncesvalles may be.) If you're sure you don't have time to walk from SJPP, I would...

    Contemplation - Quietening a Busy Mind

    For me, one way to have quiet is to try not to e-mail people back home too much. Not just because of e-mail itself, but because I find that if I'm telling everyone what happened in the evening, during the day, my mind will be busy narrating my experience. I'll get busy thinking about how I will...

    return leg

    I suppose your concern is that you don't know when you will arrive in Santiago. My advice is just err on the side of it taking you longer than you think. Things happen along the way that slow us down. If you find you've arrived several days before your flight--fine. There's plenty to see around...

    Underwear for the Camino??

    Like many here, I used ExOfficio last time. Next time, I think I'd try swimwear. It would dry super-quick--and you could use it for swimming.
