Hello,
Does anyone have pictures from albergue located in the park in Burgos?
Albergue was a log cabin like structure.
I stayed there in 2002.
In 2014, when I walked through park heading out of Burgos I saw no sign of the building.
Hello everyone,
Is it safe to walk Via de la Plata as a solo woman?
Except for first camino with mom all subsequent ones have been solo. But those treks were on Frances and one Camino Sanabres Ourense to Santiago. Lots of infrastructure with many pilgrims.
I am doing a virtual camino on VdlP...
Hello everyone.
I have been to The Valley of Silence via auto from Ponferrada.
How do I amble there from Frances then rejoin the Frances once I leave?
Years ago there was a summer only albergue.
Does anyone know if it’s still up and running?
Lastly, how safe is this way for a single woman?
Okay.
Hello.
I just want to know who has their magic wand tucked away.
Someone admit it.
Who has the Elder wand?
Merlin’s?
Magic potions?
Someone, somewhere.
Just come clean.
Flick and swish your wand so we can camino, work, trash these masks, and live.
Whoever you are, I will not...

Hello all,
I just purchased my ticket...October 8TH-23RD: next month.
The first two days and last two are travel days leaving me twelve walking days.
I will walk the last 100kms Sarria to Santiago during that time. If I can walk faster then I may attempt walking on to Muxía.
Hello,
A few weeks ago I dreamt about Saint Bernadette twice. Never in my life have I dreamt about a Saint.
As an early Episcopalian I didn’t know who she was. Sorry, but never investigated Lourdes. After my research I felt quite a strong desire to make a pilgrimage there.
Next year I wish to...
Periodically shy pilgrims ponder how and whether they will socialize on camino.
Attached is a guide to aid all parties involved.
Buen camino to introverts on the way.
Firstly, I do not want this to be political. So, now readers say: What's coming. Will we walk for peace? Will those out now dedicate a moment, minute, hour, for peace in our world? Will those about to start the way do same? Will others like me who may have to delay this year's camino, due to...
Hi everyone. Has anyone taken CF detour from El Acebo to the Valley of Silence/Penalba de Santiago? If so, how long is the route? Are there waymarkers along the route? I checked the thread about this detour on this forum but, the last entry was from 2014.
It has happened again: Camino fever. My first walk was 2001, then I got the fever. I walked CF, 2002, 2004, and was a hospitalera 2002 with Spanish, and 2004, with Confraternity of Saint James, fever ended. I walked again 2014 ... I have the fever again! I can barely wait until 2017. I aim to...
