    Listening to music while on the camino

    There are some amazing podcasts and a stunning series of stimulating tunes to be enjoyed on any of the Camino's that might be trod, wherever those are geographically located. These podcasts and tunes are to be found on Channel Nature and can be readily heard, require no ear pods or headphones...

    Tall Ships Adventure!

    In the undertaking for 2024 the walking element is as each person chooses - with no obligation to walk as part of a group.

    Tall Ships Adventure!

    For this year all the places were reserved a while back. My understanding is that there is significant interest in the venture being repeated in a future year. Suggest to keep a weather eye on the Confraternity of St James (CsJ) web site : https://www.csj.org.uk/news/tall-ship-camino

    Tall Ships Adventure!

    WELL DONE to Peter Hore, Simon Jenkins and Ned Spencer who initiated this as an idea and which has now become a reality in the form of the Tall Ship Camino Inglés. Sailing out from Fowey, Cornwall in England aboard the ship Morgenster, the planned voyage sees 36 participating crew/peregrinos on...

    Botafumeiro

    I there any way of knowing in advance of other dates / specific dates when individuals or groups may have paid for the Botafumeiro to be operated? I believe that the cost to have the Botafumeiro especially swung is €500.00. The email to make contact and ask is ...

    Safety on the Salvador

    This is not really an answer with specifics as to the mobile cover, but to relate that in the middle of nowhere, though at a high point of the San Salvador with snow falling, my mobile rang with a call coming in from the UK that was as clear as if the person was standing next to me. Atmospheric...

    Safety on the Salvador

    No two experiences are the same, though I remember the San Salvador as very well signed - and that was in March when No two experiences are the same, though I remember the San Salvador as very well signed - and that was in March when walking through quite deep snow

    Best book for my friends who aren't familiar with the Camino?

    Without knowing what writing style your friend would favour, my personl choice would be this : 'The Only Way is West' by Kevin Hand https://www.amazon.co.uk/Only-Way-West-Lifetime-Adventure/dp/1091863342/?tag=casaivar-21 Very amusing while also moving, IMHO captures the essence of the...

    Armenteira Municipal Hostel - Pre-bookings Warning ?

    My recollection of the hostel in Armenteira is that it is NOT exclusive to walkers / pilgrims. It is a hostel that is more akin to the YHA in the UK, with bookings taken in advance. When passing I was fortunate to stay overnight in the Monasterio de Armenteira, though I know from others who...

    Live from Camino Ingles - the UK section

    Very appreciate your account of your experience. If the walkers come, I believe that the infrastructure will, in time, follow. Regrettably, accommodation costs in the UK are disproportionately expensive, and until there is the demand, I cannot see that there will be any hostels or the...

    St Cuthbert's Way - a short Pilgrimage route in the UK

    Believe that walking St Cuthbert’s Way would be possible during all 12 months of the year… depending on how prepared for challenges with the weather, which could include rain. My personal approach is that there is no such thing as bad weather, it just requires being prepared for the weather...

    St Cuthbert's Way - a short Pilgrimage route in the UK

    It is a wonderful walk, and a reminder that there are some glorious pilgrimage routes within the UK. There was either the first or the last blush of the purple heather on the moors, though it was only a hint of the full effect. I can imagine that in mid to late Spring it is a stunning sight...
