    Beware of the Fisterra Muxia route...

    Very sorry to hear this but I think perhaps some of the disappointment you mention may be due to your own expactations. Just because the route goes northward ffrom Fisterra to Muxia does not promise the sea, but what it does give is an unparalled insight into the beaty and mystery or what us us...

    Life after the Camino..

    Tammy, what you have found "addictive" about the Camino is that you have opened up a search inside yourself. You may be back. I hope you are. But in the meantime do think about what it was about the Camino which gave you an insight into what was most important about life, in general, and to you...

    Muxiana? Not!

    I sent a letter to the Alcalde of Muxia expressing our combined concern and whether this had any effect or not but the Muxiana is back to it former glory. Sometimes it pays to speak up. I think that a donation box would go a long way to making sure that it doesn't happen again though.

    Why has "No Money" topic pilgrim created such controversy?

    No "interview", Falc. I don´t invade another's privacy. I am speaking, however, as a professional therapist and all-time pilgrim collector. Jim´s a good guy. A bit näive perhaps, but a good man with a good heart who did what he set out to do and changed a lot of people's negative thinking in the...

    Why has "No Money" topic pilgrim created such controversy?

    I have a true gentleman staying here at (the place which must not be named) today; a pilgrim in the truest spirit. His name is Jim Zaszynski. If I am still member of this Forum by the end of the day, I will tell you a little about him. Off now to change beds, clean, cook and then work in the...

    "Hospitalera/o" Foxy House

    I still need someone who can Foxy sit from the 25th to the 31st of this month, and also someone or two or three someones who can seamlessly pass the baton while I am away from the 8th to the 30th of September. There is very little to do other than be nice to pilgrims at the end of their Camino...

    Muxiana? Not!

    Colour copies even on plain white paper can be up to 50 cents. Add the cost of card and a euro would not only be fair but would perhaps be a source of income for the municipality, and this is exactly what I have written to the Alcalde (mayor) today.I am certain that almost all pilgrims would see...

    Muxiana? Not!

    No question that this country needs budget cuts. We are seriously broke. But my point is that this is robbing Peter to pay Paul when it is Peter who needs it most. Muxia, while a pilgrimage site for many years, has only just become an "end point" for pilgrims coming from Santiago. Every...

    Muxiana? Not!

    Pilgrims walking to Muxia in the last few days havce been given a black and white photocopied so-called "Muxiana" on very poor quality cream coloured paper. I enquired about it yesterday assuming this was a short term measure. The very helpful person I talked to produced a pair of scissors. The...

    Two Minutes Silence for the victims of the train derailment

    Here we will have two minutes silence at 7:00 p.m. Spanish time tomorrow (Monday 29th) for the victims and families affected by the train derailment on the evening of the 24th. The funeral at the cathedral begins at that time. So many people have sent prayers and thoughts towards Compostela...

    Train Derailment at Santiago

    Re: Train De Railment ... Since today is a holiday in Galicia the banks are closed although there may very well be something organised at the national level. I'll check for you all tomorrow. In the meantime...

    Pilgrims Please donate blood in Santiago

    Thank you, Frank. The response from the community has been wonderful, but one expects that sort of thing in Santiago. On FB, a friend wrote: ...hoy todos somos gallegos...todos somos peregrinos: today we are all Galician; we are all pilgrims. This Saint James Day that is twice as true as ever.

    Pilgrims Please donate blood in Santiago

    The numbers just keep rising from those affected by the train accident near Compostela. Pilgrims in Santiago...please go to the Hospital Clinico and offer to donate blood as it is URGENTLY needed. There are at the time of writing at least 70 seriously injured and the number injured is a lot...

    Train Derailment at Santiago

    Re: Train De Railment ... Pilgrims in Santiago...please go to the Hospital Clinico and offer to donate blood as it is URGENTLY needed. There are at the time of writing at least 70 seriously injured. There are also 30 dead. Your donation might help that terrible number from being more.

    LIVE from the Camino I found a Xunta albergue with a equipted functioning kitchen

    And BRAVO Rebekah! Really, "Pilgrims" these days.... :oops:

    LIVE from the Camino I found a Xunta albergue with a equipted functioning kitchen

    I don´t think for a minute that there is "Xunta directive" to strip kitchens! There is no "official" reason for such a thing. On the other hand ... Come on! Maria, the hospitalera, is a paid employee of the Xunta and has never walked a step on the Camino. She is married to Manolo who has a...

    A black day for the Camino on the Aragones route

    I don´t understand this! Ruesta is HIGH above the watercourse. What possible need could "they" have to remove these buildings? They should have been restored long ago and with the respect which is their due. Does anyone kniow if the Monastery of Leyre on the other side is in any danger...?

    Camino de Santiago July 2013

    Lowther, I could't agree more with Laurie. There is virtually NO chance of staying alone on the Camino! You will be able to concentrate on your own walk and your own work and those who come to you along the way will belong to you alone. Lucky you! Buen Camino... PS: In Spanish there is a...
