Early in the new year is a time of reflection. With many of us dreaming of our first or next Camino later this year, I was thinking of the many hospitalero volunteers who strive to make our pilgrim experience comfortable. Some help to make it special. A big thank you to all of them. This is a...

For those who think 10K is too short of a day and 30K is too long of a day on The Camino. My experience suggests there is no right or wrong distance. It is all about connecting with The Camino and walking the distance that is right for you on any individual day. I normally walked 25-30K on my...
