    Camino out of Strasbourg??

    Can anyone assist me with information about a Camino route traveling south out of Strasbourg? I think perhaps there used to be a guidebook, but it may no longer be in print. Any advice would be welcome!

    Money card woes

    A question for you veteran pilgrims: my son is currently on the Camino Frances just outside of Leon. His ATM card has ceased to function, we believe on account of a demagnetized strip. He has ordered a new card and we will mail it to him from the US when it arrives at our house, but in the...

    Pilgrim passport

    I will be starting the Le Puy Camino in early June, along with my husband -- can we buy a pilgrim passport at the cathedral there? Or is there perhaps a pilgrim shop? Thanks!

    Help me feel the magic

    So I've been hiking for 11 or 12 days now, had a few magic moments, met some wonderful people, but frankly, I'm just not having that great of a time. Trying to keep an open mind and heart, hoping for the experience of the Camino that everyone on here raves about, but it eludes me. Basically it's...

    Is it true....

    ...that if I get to Santiago on Friday, I can see the Botafumeiro at the evening mass? That's what my reading on the subject seems to say.

    Keep my calluses?

    So...I'm about two weeks away from starting my Camino and wondering whether to get a pedicure to smoothe out my rough ugly feet, or just hang onto all the calluses I've built up during my training-- thoughts?

    Carrying valuables

    I have read some advice on this forum about how people carry their valuables and the importance of making sure you take them with you into the shower room. However, I haven't figured out what will be best for me as a container for money, passport, credit cards, etc. It doesn't seem like a waist...

    Advice about route pls?

    I am starting my Camino in early April and had been aiming for the Camino Frances, however, all my reading on this Forum has me concerned about being cold. I get cold easily and don't produce much body heat for whatever reason, despite being quite fit. (Sometimes in my training hikes, I never...

    A newbie bedbug question...

    Hello! I am contemplating a Camino adventure next April/May and am debating the virtues of Frances vs. Via de la Plata. Frankly the talk of bedbugs is freaking me out. Would I have a reduced likelihood of encountering these pests on the VdlP? Also, does staying in a hotel or pensione instead...
