    The Laundromat is my friend

    I replied earlier in this thread that I thought washing my own clothes at the end of each Stage was important to me, by helping to cleanse the Mind, Body and Soul. It also occurs to me that people may have an aversion to this because it's a big pain in the butt! I get it, also for me! Having...

    The Laundromat is my friend

    I’ve always enjoyed the soap and basin approach to my daily grind on my Caminos. It helps me to wash away not only the day’s accumulated sweat & dust, but also the trials and tribulations of the Body, Mind & Soul. For me it represents a cleansing, giving me the power to repeat again and again...

    August 2022 - Camino de Madrid

    Hola Caroline, I have noticed that Gronze.com may be more up to date on Albergues and other places to rest your head. Also they have a Beta version that you can use on your phone as a GPS, showing the route and your location. I can't speak for the accuracy as I will be trying it out myself in...

    August 2022 - Camino de Madrid

    Bendiceme Padre porque no he caminado, It has been 4 years since my last Camino! Seriously though, I had planned to walk in 2020 (to keep me on a every other year schedule that started in 2016) and we all know, what happened to that schedule!! Ahh, Finally! Commitment made ✅, airfare purchased...

    Norte Here I come !

    Thanks agu! It's sounds like you had a good time despite your knee. I guess it's like all the other caminos in many ways yet different in it's own way... I had thought that lodgings were tougher to come by on the Norte then what you described, so I'm happy to hear you had no problems getting a...

    Norte Here I come !

    I’m thinking of walking the Norte from Irun in August of 2019. Does anyone here have anything to share about conditions, beds or food along the way in August?

    Lisbon to Santiago August 2018

    Bom Caminho to all that are on the Camnio Portuguese and also to all that aren't!! I've been walking now for 6 days and have met only 16 pilgrims on the Camino since Lisbon. We have been seeing each other off and on since the beginning. It has been difficult with the heat and have elected...

    SIM card purchase

    There are two or three other Android phones that work with Project Fi, the benefits are excellent, especially if your in Europe and want to use lots of data. I'll be leaving on July 30th to walk the Portuguese Camino from Lisbon and can't wait. Have a good trip!

    My walking tour of Lisbon

    Wow, thanks Laurie! I’ve just about finished planning my Camino Portuguese for this August and was starting to think about meeting my wife back in Lisbon after finishing my walk. My idea was to stay in Lisbon for 3 or 4 days before going up to Porto, to start a slower paced Mini Camino (5 or 6...

    Lisbon to Santiago August 2018

    Thanks, my mistake. I posted in the wrong thread, duh! I'm planning on the central route from Lisbon and may switch over to the coastal route from Porto on! I will probably make that decision when I'm there! So long as I know where I'm starting and ending, everything else is flexible! Thanks for...

    Lisbon to Santiago August 2018

    Hi All - My first night in Portugal will be at the "This is Lisbon Hostel" and starting my walk August 1st. Can't wait!! I walked the Camino Frances in September of 2016 and at the end of that 35 day journey, the thought that I'd be doing another was the furthest thing from my mind. Then...

    Feet issues - Chacos?

    Hi, I walked the Frances Route in September 2016 and in doing so I developed a (what I thought was) a bone spur on my right heel.. Boy did that hurt... I pressed on and eventually it mostly went away. I’m planing to walk the Portuguese Route from Lisbon this August and am looking for shoes I...
