    Fatima with a Wheelchair

    We did the Camino de Fatima in 2016 we walked with the local pilgrims (Portuges). I dont know exactly know all of your general physical capabilities plus the fact that you have someone in wheelchair. It was mostly road-walking with very few trail walking. The locals had a van following them...

    The queues in Santiago

    When we did our first Camino in 2014, we got to the old pilgrim office closer to the cathedral, it was raining cats and dogs. We waited patiently in cold and rain for 2 1/2 hours and if I recall correctly, the people around us were happily suffering. So we believe in one of the quips in Efren's...

    A note on reserving beds and the spirit of the Camino

    yes, but thats on the side of no reservation and i have used the "tiene un recomendacion, por favor?" approach many times and it is effective. thanks.

    A note on reserving beds and the spirit of the Camino

    the financial burden is when you already have a reservation but you need to stop short of the place where you reserved and is forced to find a place to sleep then you just paid for 2 beds and in our case it would 4. In all of our 3 caminos, what i noticed is that the beds/rooms on bookings.com...

    A note on reserving beds and the spirit of the Camino

    My stand on no-reservation was never about a stand on what is the real camino. Your pilgrimage is your pilgrimage - it is internal as much as external. I dont even impose the no-reservation view to my wife. My point is the obvious constraint it does to the daily life of our Camino of having a...

    A note on reserving beds and the spirit of the Camino

    right - freedom is not free. As pilgrims on a budget, i am not willing to pay for 2 accommodations on one night - most are cancellable only at least a day prior to your arrival - just because we have the freedom to go to another one. We as pilgrims are technically constrained by our budget that...

    A note on reserving beds and the spirit of the Camino

    My wife and I walk the caminos with 2 different perspective on where we should lay our heads every night in the camino. I would rather have Camino provide for a place to stay every night which never fails afterall, people have been walking the camino for 1200 years but my wife wants more comfort...

    Has anyone walked the Camino Lebaniego recently?

    thanks fellas. if the stars align, we will be veering off from San Vicente towards Lebaniego on the 2nd week of Sept. Yes, i see hotels but either they are temporarily closed or they are just full so we might do a roper-dope in accommodation meaning we stay in the place we stayed the night...

    Camino Lebaniego - my little video

    Hi LesBrass, Is it ok if I ask where did you stay in 2020 in Cades and Cabañes on the way to Santo Toribio? I'm having a hard time looking for open albergues/hostels/hotels. Thanks for your help.

    Has anyone walked the Camino Lebaniego recently?

    Has anyone walked the Camino Lebaniego recently?

    Hi, We will be walking the Del Norte in a few weeks and we do plan to veer off to Camino Lebaniego up to Santo Toribio. Based on my current research, there's not a lot of accomodations that are currently open. Has anyone recently walked from San Vicente de la Barquera to Potes? How was your...

    LIVE from the Camino Accommodation experience, first 8 nights

    So we're walking in September and checked out accomodation in zarautz - nothing affordable anymore for pilgrims. But since we're having a side trip to Santuario de Loiola, we got an accommodation in a pilgrim-like prices a few kms away from the Santuario...

    Is the camino a ritual for all spanish people?

    Not in the context of tourism but in the context of how common knowledge should it be amongst its people..
