    Camino "Bartolome" Gibraltar-Lisbon

    I know I don't get to decide such things, but From March 1 to May1 2023 we walked an odd route from Gibraltar north to Seville and then Seville west-northwest to Lisbon and then on to Santiago. I'm proposing an informal Camino route name of "Bartolome" - named from one of my favorite NT...

    Starting in Gibraltar tomorrow

    Hey Pilgrims. The date has finally arrived and we fly from the States today to begin our odd pilgrimage from Gibraltar to Lisbon to Porto to Santiago. The planning between Gibraltar and Lisbon has been challenging but we have A route anyway. It anyone is interested in this Way, we will be...

    Gibraltar-Lisbon-Porto-Santiago

    Bom Caminho - I've searched the posts and I'm a little surprised this common question didn't pop up. We are travelling from Lisbon starting in 01 April. For an 01April start would you recommend sleeping bags or liners? We've walked the Frances x2 both starting in May and of course by then...

    Gibraltar to Lisbon (and then north)

    Hi Pilgrims - excited to say we've just decided on our next pilgrimage (having done the Frances twice and most recently the entire VF). We will tackle Gibraltar to Lisbon. Once in Lisbon there is significant data available but I'd appreciate any insights on a route, stages, accommodation from...

    Our Via Francigena

    After walking the CF twice in 2014 and 2017 I wanted to do something a bit less discovered and more solitary. Boy did we get that. If anyone is interested in the VF we kept a Vlog of our journey including lodging and other bits of history. It can be found at: TogetherOnFoot.com

    Pilgrim office statistics

    Does anyone have information about the pilgrim office website? Their monthly statistics page seems to have no updates since July.

    Differences

    My wife and I have walked the CdS from SJPdP to Santiago twice (2014 and 2017) and we're now planning to walk the CF in 2022 (still a long way away...but we like to have a goal!!). We will be walking from Cantebury (perhaps even from London) to Rome starting off in August and ending in October...

    NotJustAHike

    For anyone interested - and not thoroughly exhausted with Camino movies, we FINALLY published our documentary from our 2017 Camino. You can view this on YouTube by searching for "NotJustAHike", or click the image below.... Let us know what you think. Our 2014 documentary seemed to be well...

    Media request

    In 2017 between Espinal and Zabaldiki we walked along a section of the Camino where the path falls away steeply to the right. Ahead we heard a woman crying out for help. We ran to see what was going on an found the woman about 15ft down the side of the mountain with her crashed bike laying on...

    Funniest Camino Picture

    There have been several "Favorite Picture" posts. Just curious....what's your "funniest" picture. My entry is this shot in Burgos. It was supposed to be of my wife and I goofing off with an ice cream. However the background was ....um....unintended.

    Religious/Spiritual Camino

    After speaking with our moderator I'd like to ask anyone that would be willing/interested in replying to this topic to send me a reply as a private conversation. According to IVAR you can add as many people to this conversation as you wish or you can keep it private. You can find...

    Religious/Spiritual Camino

    I know that there are many reasons people walk Camino. I'd like to pose a question to the portion of those who walk Camino for religious/spiritual reasons. Specifically I'd like to receive stories/feedback from the subset of those that have had a specifically Christian experience on Camino as...

    Charts and Graphs

    I'm sure there was an easier way, but I've manually input all of the statistics from the Santiago Cathedral website and created the following charts and graphs for general interest and comment. Enjoy

    LIVE from the Camino Best fine dining

    After 1000 Pilgrims menus sometimes you just have to splurge. My vote for the best fine dining on Camino is Restaurante Serrano in Astorga. Went there for our Anniversary. Actually it was so good we went back a second night. Your Recommendation?

    LIVE from the Camino Pilgrim Report

    Just checking in to report. SJPdP to Burgos Crowds: Same volume on the Camino at any one time as 2014 with no problems with overcrowding but Albergues the often near capacity vs many open beds. Weather: Hotter than 2014 by a large margin Litter: Camino seems to continue to be well kept and...

    LIVE from the Camino Slightly Stranded

    Crazy hiccup when the bag check at Madrid ate my passport. I've recovered it but missed my flight to BIQ. My 3 companions have gone ahead and we plan to meet in SJPdP. My only goal now is to get to SJPdP at the quickest route so as not to hold them up. We have Orisson reservations for this...

    Oporto

    Once arriving in Santiago from SJPdP I plan on spoiling my wife with a vacation from our vacation - traveling to Oporto. We fly out of Oporto 4 days later. 1) What's the best way to get from SC to Oporto? We'd be traveling on a Saturday near the end of June so I expect bus or train services...

    Roncevalles Dinner - 19 days away

    In 2014, we had our first Pilgrim's dinner at the Bar Roncevalles con terazza. The fresh trout that night still lingers on my pallet. I see now that the albergue offers dinner (and breakfast). Who's had it and who recommends which?

    Spanish Mass Primer

    Perhaps an odd question, but is there any kind of primer for a Spanish Mass. Last camino we attended mass on several occasions but, to be honest, having only a limited Spanish vocabulary and being Protestant and unable to participate in the Eucharist, the services were too "foreign" to be very...
