    Disparaging "The Way"

    Because we were in lockdown off and on for months over winter, complete with time and distance restrictions I have watched The Way as well as Camino six Ways and Camino Skies a number of times to compensate for missing walking the Portuguese Coastal route in May. As I don't known when I'll be...

    Entertainment... "How to look at a painting of Velazquez"

    Sorry, I know Velazquez painted many wonderful paintings, and I've seen many of them in galleries around the world, but the first thing that always springs to mind when I hear his name is an episode of the fabulous British comedy The Goodies!

    Have you encountered accidents on the Camino?

    Thanks Bradypus, the friend who was going to walk with me this year has had a reoccurrence and the prognosis is not good. So I want to dedicate the Camino to her.

    Thanks Northern Light. It might be a silly question, but with the 'in Vicare Pro' does the other persons name get printed on the Compostela?

    Types of Compostelas and other certificates

    Hi all, I've walked the Frances route twice now and have received a Compostela each time.

This year I...

    If you're allergic like me, it's not just the itch. The bite starts off small like a mozzie bite and then a huge hot welt appears around each bite, about the size of an Aussie 20 cent piece. The actual bite area then blisters with multiple little blisters all the while itching. If you're a...

    Can I have my cake and eat it too?

    I had to skip some bits in 2016 due to illness and injury and some to time pressures. Deeply regret it so I'm heading back in a few weeks for a do over. I would say don't miss the Mesetta. Beautiful sunrises over freshly harvested wheat fields and glorious stacks of hay. I took many many photos.
