    Via de la Plata - March 16, 2022

    Hi Gareth I will be a couple of weeks ahead of you starting from Seville. The Via de la Plata is something of a less traveled route, not as popular as some of the others. Given the distance to Santiago, I wouldn't rule out the chance we might meet up. Anyway, it is always good to know there are...

    Why do pilgrims carry on when it is really hard?

    Hi David In answer to your question "why do pilgrims carry on when it is really hard"? My simple answer my friends is "because it is really hard". Safe travelling to all pilgrims now and in the future Sicada

    Gronze

    Planning Via De La Plata 2020. (Sept/oct) Brierley was brilliant for Frances 2016. Wise Pilgrim was adequate for Del Norte 2018 but there doesn't appear to be anything out there hard copy wise for Via De La Plata, nothing that is that compares to Brierley (unless anyone out there can direct me...

    VdLP Spring Walkers' Calendar

    What a "brilliant" idea. The simple ideas are the best. I will be doing the Via De La Plata Sept/Oct 2020 and I will be interested in tracking the outcome of this initiative. Buen Camino to all

    If you had only one word ...

    One word! for such an experience? wow. Your question is thought provoking and many words come to mind covering emotions, spirituality and the supposed "romance" of the Camino. It also depends on the "actual Camino" experience of the individual. I completed my first Camino Frances from Saint Jean...

    Brierly or no Brierly..

    Personal view, I have both but gravitate strongly to "Brierly". good luck.

    Norte september 2018

    Arriving Biarritz 10th September from Stansted landing 16:55. I am hoping to travel on to Irun directly after arriving. I have some information on buses and trains. Train option looks to be 18:58 from Biarritz to Hendaye (arrive Hendaye 20:18) I have read that Transdev ATCRB buses run every...

    Chiropractic vs Physio

    Hi Pilates suggestion is a great idea. I wouldn't normally comment on such matters (chiropractic/physiotherapy) but so close to the event and mindful of the fact you are making progress with physio, I would plumb for staying put with physio. Sicada123

    Ugh...decisions

    Hi Tilly It appears all the options were in front of you before you made the decision? Reading your post, I gleaned you were heading for Del Niorte route from Irun to Santiago. I don't want this to sound harsh because we are all on the forum to support and help. My question is "what's changed?"...

    Getting Old.

    Hi tillyjones I don't want to make light of your situation regarding "age" and in particular, glasses! However, this will be your third Comino so you have already dealt with and overcome a number of major issues. Did you avoid "blisters?" I completed my first Comino 2016 including glasses...

    New annual record number of Compostelas issued

    The figures are confusing and might even be off putting to some planning to walk any of the regular Camino routes. It would be useful if figures were available as a breakdown of the various individual Camino routes as in from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago (recognised regular 500 miles) as...

    Observations after Completing the Camino Frances

    Great account, clear concise and to the point. I did my first Camino 2016 at the age of 71 and completed St Jean to Santiago in 28 days. My preparation was similar. I went out with an open mind not looking for anything and not expecting to find anything. My level of health and fitness before...

    I am not a "Camino pilgrim"

    Hi Jill Great rationale..........I am a Catholic and I do believe most of what is recorded as it relates to St James. I completed my first Camino Sept/Oct 2016. 28 days from St Jean to Santiago at the age of 71. Did I feel a changed person? No. I set out pure and simple with no expectations...
