Hola, amig@s,
This is more or less just a post for the posting in the Camino Calendar. On March 30th I'll come to Valencia to take my first group of "tourigrinos" on a super fast Levante/Zamorano/Sanabres Camino Combo. All in all just 8 days but I'll be in heaven nevertheless :D
I won't have...
Hello!

While I have never been to Portugal not even as a tourist I'm simply in love with fado and its performers even when the songs are a little bit more pop-ish. Don't know why really but they kind of bring me somewhere over there to Iberia.
Missing Camino/Caminho oh so very much this song kind of...
I came across this book and thought it touches a very important aspect of pilgrimage. The author also quote someone most of you know - H.D.Thoreau among others (Baudelaire, Whitman, Rilke, Proust, Huysmans, Kagge,...):

Chilean writer living in exile since 1977 died today in Oviedo, Asturias, after 6 weeks of hospitalization because of CoViD-19.
His works will live forever.
I'm sure many of you have plenty of ideas how to spend all the "spare" time now when restricted to go outside and around like we were used to until just few hours ago. But I still want to give you some more ideas which were compiled by Directors Guild of Slovenia. All of this is completely free...
Note from the mods. I have merged two threads — the first post here has the guide in Spanish, and if you scroll down to post number 8, you will see that @Canuck has added an English translation.
Hola!
@Canuck kindly provided Spanish language guide so here it is in .pdf files attached.
Happy...
Hi, Forum!
Anybody ever came across a list of Camino de Santiago Pilgrim Associations worldwide, from Korea through Spain and over the pond etc.???
I know I could Google it for a few hours and eventualy gather it but I just thought it might already exist. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance :)

Yep, I know I could posted this in miscelanious subsection but it is a cycling event after all :D
It is starting tomorrow and at first glance at stages the race will start/end or cross quite a few Caminos:
Norte, Lana, Sanabres, Catalan, Olvidado, Primitivo, Frances, Mendocino, Madrid and...
Peace sisters and brothers ;)
Anyone on this forum that participated at Woodstock Festival exactly 50 years ago? What are your memories if you would be willing to share them?
I know that's not directly related to Camino de Santiago but at that time it surely was your Camino :)
Yes, what was your most memorable moment on any Camino but not related to walking (past something etc.)?
For me it was booking two nights in a room in a bit larger town. And on first afternoon rain started. I rushed out and bought some takeaway food and few beers and ran back to my...
On the first stage of Camino Ingles, in Naron, just short of first albergue the local people decided that they will loose 100.000 kilos of their weight communal style in two years. So you can join them if you wish ;)...

Monastery "Sancti Spiritus" in Toro stopped accommodating pilgrims. Nuns said that they are only six and too old to do it anymore. The group of four pilgrims we met in Castronuño stayed at Pension Zamora on the main pedestrian street. 35€ for double and 40€ for twin room. I guess that's the...
Hi all and especially Ivar :)
Today I mentioned in Camino de Madrid section thread that it kind of surprises me how many forum members were/are/will walking this Camino in March and April. And then I thought why wouldn't we have some homemade statistics counter on the forum. I mean there are...
Excellent camera work with some nice ideas thrown in. Maybe a bit fast editing for some but altogether really enjoyable. I recommend it:
Have a nice day :)
Howdy there!
It happened that I couldn't do it last year (medical & judicial issues - no, I wasn't arrested for my moniker :D otherwise I would ask @peregrina2000 to defend me) but something beautiful happened to me this year. Won't go into details.
First the plan was to walk Via Augusta...
...but when watching certain vlog with false info I did some internet searching.
As I know you can only get Compostela if you collect two stamps per day on the last 100 km (walking) BUT:

I apollogise if this thread isn't something that we should share on this forum and therefore ask the mods to remove it if it is so.
But... Today I saw an article in Slovenian newspaper from 1927 (Narodni dnevnik, Feb 5th 1927) that the major of the town of Almendralejo...
Italian archaeologist Sara Zanni started a project (at Montaigne University in Bordeaux) of reconstructing old Roman route that connected Venetieet Histrie with Pannonia Superior. To be more exact nowadays Aquileia in NE Italy and Belgrade (capital of Serbia). She already walked three Caminos to...
