    Why the Camino de Santiago?

    First some back story before my philosophical question to the forum. Like many others, I watched the movie, The Way, and was intrigued and motivated to someday venture on a Camino. The movie came out shortly after my son returned from an attempt on the PCT here on the West Coast of the USA...

    Challenge ahead... Need encouragement

    My flight to Lisbon leaves in 8 days. Last week I finalized my pack list and weighed in at just 14# w/o water! I was very excited and feeling so capable and ready for my Camino. And then 4 days ago I tripped walking up my own front porch and broke my wrist. I am currently sporting a full arm...

    Routing for Biking on Pavement

    Looking for help on planning my Frances Camino route, by bicycle, in September. My son and his wife will be joining me in Pamplona, after bicycling through Italy and France this summer. They have been sticking to paved roads and want to continue in that mode as neither of their bikes are suited...

    Pamplona to Compostela Terrain

    Does anyone know where to find terrain/topography maps of the caminos? I am looking to bicycle from Pamplona to Compostela in September. From past experience with the Pacific Crest Trail in California, I know that there are groups that have put together section maps of the trail that include...
