    Recommendations about the variante espiritual?

    I am thinking of walking the spiritual variant of the camino Portuguès next mid/ late April. Weather seems quite reasonable to this Canadian. Opinions? I would expect snow on the mountain but mid teen weather otherwise? Also, experienced pilgrims, how does mount Almenteira ( ph) compare to...

    LIVE from the Camino No boundaries for lack of respect

    I keep being grateful for all the blessings of « my » camino in 2013: I never encountered such rudeness except at the very end in Fisterra. Would a gentle grandmotherly nudge work, or would it generate anger in addition to rudeness?

    Rucksack/backpack size?

    Do Worry About Weight! it will help you gage WHAT you “ really, really NEED” ! I’m 5’8, and have managed quite well, nothing missing on both Caminos (Le Puy. and Francès) with 6.7 K approx, including 1.5 L of water in a 34 L Osprey backpack. There is a limit to the 10% rule of thumb if you are...

    Pilgrim shame

    By Castrojeriz, RadioCamino was going full tilt about a Spanish family seen arriving by taxi to the albergue ...I met that family at a convent in Carrion... Two sisters and a brother and two children if I recall correctly. Their dad /grand-dad had died a couple of months before, unable to...

    The most emotional place?

    So sorry you experienced such a bad situation at the Cruz de ferro Albertagirl. My whole Camino Francès was emotional, but two most weepy moments were upon arrival at Roncescalles, standing alone in front of Santiago statue, and the Cruz, again standing alone. Sobbed both place - out of love...

    Is it me?

    Enjoy these days, full of wonder and special moments - just a taste of the Camino and you will remember them just as much! And yes, we are all alike! But you can (if need be) brush up on a little Spanish or French, depending where you walk; train with friends every weekend at least; try your...
