    Seeking a Beautiful Traditional Basque House to Sketch

    In Saint Etienne de Baigorry there is a lovely home on the river that hangs ham tied up in beautiful cloth from their porch!!!! I’d draw it if I drew- lol I might be able to get you the contact of the owner as they housed a refuge from a war torn country who we hung out with for two amazing...

    My new backpack from Gregory

    In 2012 I actually returned my Osprey pack for a Gregory… I loved my Gregory! In 2023 the zippers started breaking but well earned I had done thousands of miles with it. Gregory is now owned by Samsonite!!!! Just sharing, I have no idea if that’s good or bad news. My new Gregory , same model...

    Experience with Plantar Fasciitis

    Ive birthed babies without meds and can still say my worst discomfort in life was PF that developed on the Portuguese Camino. I had already walked the Rota Vicentina when three days into the portuguese from lisbon I could barely walk…. I had hoka boots , was already a huge hoka lover… and...

    Alert Man publically jacking off and followed us slightly down the trail outside Tomar

    We had a guy in the woods jacking off and he let out a huge howl doing it… the day we walked into Tomar!

    Two questions to ( hopefully) make you think....

    So my question, respectfully, to ( hopefully) make one think is centered around the reader vs the poster. If centered around the reader it’s a first person thought, the actions of the reader vs the actions of a stranger… My question or thought process centers more on why would someone read...

    Chef Jose Andres

    Lol I think I came to our forum with nugget way back then too.. I’m a foodie, and was a Bourdain LOVER! We enjoyed seeing the restaurant with the fish as we’ve passed by it on two occasions.

    Chef Jose Andres

    This might have been shared earlier, I admit I only glance at daily topics in email lately. But according to an article I just read on CNN , Jose Andres is doing a six part Discovery plus series on Spanish food!!!! Titled “ Jose Andre’s and family in spain” Foodies unite!

    Unsettling Experience with Strangers at Hostel

    You can have your thoughts and I can have mine, I do not believe these people were pilgrims. The threatening is odd behavior. I have walked many caminos over the past decade and I stand by my words I ( me, myself, first person), do not believe they were pilgrims. That that doesn’t sit well with...

    Unsettling Experience with Strangers at Hostel

    We have no idea if anyone was hurt, people intimidated to get access to where people sleep and money stored. Many pilgrims have had to go home and end their pilgrimages when their stuff was stolen… We have no way of knowing if anyone was hurt.

    Unsettling Experience with Strangers at Hostel

    Sending hugs! The camino gives us doses of our lives, in waves, walking helps us think about them. Know you did the right thing! These people were not pilgrims I am certain!!!!!

    Unsettling Experience with Strangers at Hostel

    I absolutely think this could be an emergency! Most if not all threads like this I think “ such is life”, get on… But these pilgrims sound very fishy and obviously not pilgrims… the threat alone “ if you don’t I’ll…” is an aggressive gesture, fill in the blanks, what could be said that’s not...

    Leonardo Da Vinci in Burgos Cathedral (?)

    And de Vinci is from Vinci vs a last name, so it would make sense if a student I suspect. I’m glad you shared this nugget of info, will check it out. One of Leonardo’s nemesis, is buried under the street of Viana If I remember correctly. I think a Count, but don’t quote me.

    My buff has been so necessary!

    Absolutely one of my must haves! A wool buff is my preference, I get two one on each wrist and they end up on my neck, hair, everywhere!

    Knocking on doors to find a place to stay

    I just slept in a bus shelter on the RV, it was perfect! And with five kids in tow from le puy to Santiago I slept in worse places than that. I would never knock on a door to ask for a place to sleep either, I am a “ trail angel” in the US and help hikers with food, accommodation , grocery runs...

    Personal Acts on The Camino

    I/ we adopt old and dilapidated animals, we see death in the family a lot due to this. Each Camino we make it Muxia to throw in a SCOOP ( I can only surrender a scoop of them) of each ones ashes. I’ve done a few Caminos with kids and they’ve been instructed to throw me in there one day ( they...

    Young woman (not a pilgrim) missing near Grado (Primitivo)

    I would agree with this “ at this time”, but hope it the end there’s a sigh of relief and it comes down.
