    Camino adverts on You Tube

    I was watching a historical naval video on you tube and as usual the programme was interrupted by an advert. I usually just click these off but was really surprised that it was an advert for the Camino de Santiago by the Xunta de Galicia. Pretty good in my opinion. The advert has great music...

    A present for special people

    Sorry this is long and rambling. I am rubbish at buying presents. I really have no idea. But I want to buy a present or maybe a few presents for some lovely local people I met on camino. I want to say thank you. First here is why. In 2015 I was walking in a ‘family’ on the Camino Frances and...

    A thought on pilgrim statistics

    Only an idea that I was wondering about. Many of us that walk caminos again and again don't bother collecting the compostela any more after arriving in Santiago. I haven't collected the last four that I was eligible for. We all know that the pilgrim statistics are not so accurate because of...

    Pilgrims beware of ear worms!

    One of the worst afflictions I had whilst walking the Camino was the dreaded ear worm. This is a really nasty thing and impossible to get rid of when one decides to attack you. And they are highly contagious. They also seem to breed more just past Sarria, but I have found them as far back as...
