    Planning for a week on the Gudbrandsdalsleden, Norway

    Hi fellow pilgrims! I may have a free week in Europe towards the end of August and just recently have toyed with the idea of traveling up to Oslo and walking for a week on the Gudbrandsdalsleden. Thinking Oslo to Hamar (maybe a bit beyond if I can get a bus back to Oslo). I've spent some time...

    Impressions from my April 2022 Camino Portugués Coastal Route

    Hi pilgrims! A few weeks ago I returned from a quick Camino on the Portugués Coastal Route and I wanted to do a little recap in case it's helpful to any future pilgrims. I was only able to walk as far as Vigo (I was one stage short of completing the whole of the coastal portion... I'd hoped to...

    Let's talk waist packs!

    Hi fellow pilgrims! Does anyone out there use a fanny pack/bumbag when walking the Camino? (well, I know some of you do, I've seen them out there!) I'm looking to add one to my Camino setup, and it seems like it could be super convenient to stash the things I might need throughout the day...

    My August 2021 Invierno: Thoughts, Observations, Notes

    Hello forum members! I’m back in the States after about 4-weeks in Spain, and I’m ALREADY missing the Camino. I walked the Primitivo, then took a train to Astorga and walked for a few days on the Francés to Ponferrada, where I branched off onto the Invierno. This forum was invaluable in...

    LIVE from the Camino Late July 2021 Primitivo!

    Greetings from the Primitivo! It’s a rainy and foggy and rather cool evening, the perfect chance to drop in here and give a quick update. I thought I would try to do a few live posts, because those were so helpful to me in getting ready to come to Spain, especially this year. I flew in from...

    Aragonés video (2019)

    As I anxiously wait for another Camino (as I'm sure so many of us are!), part of my coping strategy has been to go back through photos/video clips I took when I last walked in 2019. That year was a journey on the Aragonés (Oloron Ste-Marie to Puente La Reina), and then I bussed up to Irun to...

    Late start tomorrow for San Juan... beds available??

    Hello forum! I am in Puente La Reina, having just finished the Camino Aragones (ahh, what an incredible Camino!), and am now planning to bus up to Irun to begin waking the Norte. I’ve walked it before- 4 years ago- and loved it. Here’s my question, and I know there’s probably no “right”...

    Phone necessary on Aragones? (also: single favorite moment?)

    Hello fellow pilgrims! I am so excited to be planning a walk from Oloron to Puenta La Reina, beginning around mid-June (and then on to Irun, hopefully to Oviedo, a route I walked in 2015 and have been wanting to return to ever since). This forum has been invaluable, as usual, and I've spent...

    The 'what now?' question after the Camino: a resource

    Hi pilgrims! I recently wrote a little e-book called 'After the Camino'. I've been thinking of doing something like this for the past 3 years, ever since I returned from the Camino Frances in 2014 (and since then, I've been back to walk the Norte, Primitivo, San Salvador, and two weeks on Le...

    Questions for Le Puy: Allergies and Blankets

    Hi everyone, I've walked several Camino routes in Spain, but my two weeks on Le Puy this summer will be my first in France. I'm sure I'll be back here with more questions but for now, here are two: 1) I have a nut allergy (all nuts, peanuts included), and I'm wondering how often nuts are...

    Solo Trek on the San Salvador- AMAZING!

    I did the San Salvador over 5 days in July 2016, and I'm just now getting around to posting something here. Since it's not a popular trail, I thought that any feedback could be helpful to those thinking about walking this route! I'm a solo-female walker, and I LOVED the experience. Leaving...

    My favorite albergues on the Camino del Norte

    This forum was such an amazing resource for me as I planned for both of my Caminos (Frances and del Norte/Primitivo). In particular, I got such great advice on albergue recommendations for the Norte and Primitivo, and I thought I would try to give some of that back! I kept a blog while on my...

    Live from the Norte... feels like paradise

    I'm about to branch off to the Primitivo tomorrow, but this walk on the Norte has been incredible. All the posts on this forum were so helpful in planning- and a big thank you to everyone who helped out with albergue recommendations. I've stayed in some pretty incredible places, and the kindness...

    Post office address in Oviedo? (and my Camino starts Friday!!)

    Does anyone happen to know of a (somewhat) convenient post office close to the Camino route in Oviedo? And the address? A friend wants to send me something along the way... this worked well for me last summer on the Frances (I picked up a small package in Leon), and I'd love if it could work out...

    Favorite stops/albergues on the Norte?

    Hello past and future (and current?) el Norte pilgrims! I leave in 2 weeks for my second Camino (last summer was the Frances, this summer is Norte/Primitivo). I've moved from 'this Camino feels so far away and I don't think it will ever get here' to 'I only have two weeks- how did that happen??-...

    Did anyone else like sleeping on the top bunk?

    A few months ago I wrote a post about 7 things I missed from my Camino (I walked the Frances, June-July 2014)... and I'm thinking about those favorite things again tonight, as I contemplate a second Camino. The call of the Camino is strong!! I thought I would share it here, in case anyone else...

    Lost my guidebook AND my shorts... adventures on the Camino Frances

    Hi fellow peregrinos! I walked the Camino Frances from June-July 2014 and kept a blog while I was there... now that I'm back and missing the Camino every day, I've started to live vicariously through others' blogs. I thought I would share mine in case it brings back memories for those of you...

    Shipping luggage from Santiago to Finisterre

    Hi everyone! I leave for my Camino in one week (!!) and I'm finalizing travel/luggage details. I'm walking the Camino Frances, staring in SJPP and will meet a friend in Santiago to walk on with her to Finisterre. My friend is bringing our extra luggage for post-Camino travel, and we're...

    Nut allergy on the Camino Frances?

    I'll be on the Camino Frances this June/July; this forum has been invaluable in terms of resources and guidance and advice, thank you all! I hope to eat my fair share of Pilgrim Menus during the Camino, and I'm wondering how often, if at all, nuts show up in dishes on the menu? I don't eat any...
