    Mindfulness on the camino

    When people decides to walk Camino de Santiago, many also starts making changes in their life: Often it's about they stopped working, had a divorce, wants to stop smoking or drinking, loose weight or stop being on-line all the time and/ or having less stress in life. About the "constant being...

    Why have you written on the Camino-stone ?

    You are probably right! First- (and only one-) timers on the Camino de Santiago, not pilgrims, who can't stop the walking. The Camino-holics ;)

    Mindfulness on the camino

    I am refering to all the pilgrims, I have seen, being online constantly on the Camino. They are not present at all.

    Why have you written on the Camino-stone ?

    On my recent camino to Finesterre and Muxía, I noticed a lot of writing on the Camino-stone; Names and mantras etc., but why ?? If it's just because it was fun in the moment, a better option would be to take a selfie of you and the stone and make a update online. I don't think other pilgrims...

    Mindfulness on the camino

    Camino de Santiago is a good place to practice Mindfulness, so don't bring a lot of electric gear with you. The Silence and being present is good for you, so leave the mobil and/or tablet switched off most of the time.

    What kind of dog are you ?

    Hi, Yes I remember the "siesta Mastiff/Shetlandpony-mix" on Camino del Norte, not many watchdog-manners left there ;) Biggest danger was not to see the long doglegs sticking out. The caminodog from Chantada on Camino de Inverno, which followed me for 8 km, was a Mastiff/Golden Retriever-mix, but...

    Member's Forum names

    Got my camino-name while walking Via de la Plata from Seville. Every morning I was wearing my Helly-Hansen fleece with the letters HH. I walk in a fast pace, and was often one of the lasts to leave the albergue og one of the firsts to arrive to the next, so passing the others on the camino, my...

    What kind of dog are you ?

    I know , that owners of the watchdog-families, maybe wouldn't like the connextion, but there are some truth in it. Buying a dog for the qualities to keep other people away. But even a Golden Retriever can become aggressive in the hands of a bad owner. It is just a lot easier to make watchdogs...

    What kind of dog are you ?

    On the Camino Inverno forum there have been a lot of writing about the loose aggressive dogs. Northern Irish scientists (livescience.com) have discovered the connexion between choise of dog and temperament. It seems like aggressive dogs (Alsatian dog, Rottweiler, mastiff etc.) are chosen by...

    Santiago-Finisterre four days?

    It's a good idea to make a reservation at the private albergue in Santa Marina. Pilgrims are arriving from 2 sides now. More and more pilgrims walks Camino Finesterre-Muxía and back to Santiago again.

    Names of towns with loose dogs

    Camino de Inverno goes through many small hamlets/villages with loose dogs. It must be possible to make some small changes of the camino, so pilgrims and dogs don't met so often as now, and to have a serious talk with dog-owners, where the meetings are a problem. A public road is for everybody...

    Names of towns with loose dogs

    Nice to hear opinions from other experienced pilgrims from the Inverno. That's why Laurie started this Thead ;)

    Names of towns with loose dogs

    Very good answer, Laurie ;) The Spanish Mastiff was the race, that was most aggressive of the many dogs on the Inverno. I know, that Asún in A Rúa wants Camino de Inverno to be an alternative to the very crowded Camino Francés, so she was taken the critic, good and bad, very seriously. All 5 of...

    Names of towns with loose dogs

    As you know, I had my own friendly camino-dog all the way from Chantada to Penasillás. Just before Pensillás a group of cows and the farmers wife passed me on the road. The Chantada-dog was scared of the cows and made a big detour in the field and followed me into the village. The group of...

    Names of towns with loose dogs

    "Dogs behaving badly" on the Inverno: In Villavieja (End of hamlet), Santalla del Bierzo (Start of village, owner in house on right, dog is little and very aggressive), Vilarmao (White house on the right just before farm on the right, owner in his 30's, daughter around 7-8 years old, 2 dogs, the...

    It is official ... it is an official way

    But some of them are willing to attack you, and the owners have no control over the dogs, and some of them just don't care. In Denmark dogs like that will be removed from the unqualified owner and put to sleep (killed) by the autoritories, if reported! I think, it will be a good idea with more...

    It is official ... it is an official way

    We all met the great barker in the small hamlet of Villavieja (so it's still there ;( !) and the stupid owner! The dog was easy to scare away. I met loose dogs every single day on the Inverno. So a lot of barking all the way ! A every morning I met hunters and their dogs. If I should return soon...

    Carry or have carried.

    On the camino, you don't need to bring with you a lot of things. Walking with your backpack gives you the freedom to change your plans during the day. If you send your backpack you can't make changes, and sometimes you will have to wait for the backpack to arrive in the afternoon. I would never...
