    3 weeks post Camino, still at loose ends

    That’s exactly how I feel.

    This time last year I was on the Camino

    Not knowing where you will be spending the next night is one of the main excitements on the Camino. Depending on when you are walking, though, as you get closer to Santiago, you might find it necessary to make reservations as you go. Buen Camino!

    Favorite books and writers from Spain, anyone?

    I believe you have to register a Spanish adddress as your address, in order to be able to buy from them.

    El Norte completed

    Congratulations on completing this Camino! I would love to read your reflections on how different this Camino was compared to the Frances. We are planning on walking el Norte next year, and have conflicting emotions. After such a life changing experience on the CF, we want to be prepared for...

    Jordi Savall Syria Concert Birmingham UK June 29

    Your grandson is very lucky. He will discover a new world of music. Early music is very appealing to young people.

    Jordi Savall Syria Concert Birmingham UK June 29

    We were very lucky to have Savall and his group visit Mississippi last year. It was an intimate and perfect concert.

    A new peregrina in the making - Camino Frances from SJPP 23rd April

    Buen Camino! What a great feeling it is, to know that the Camino will be for real, after so many years of just being a dream. Think of that when you take your first step off SJPP.

    SJPdP to Roncesvalles

    Oh, man, we missed that road and it was a very wet, foggy and windy day (May 2016). There were no views whatsoever on the top, but we still enjoyed the walk, as the adrenaline of the first day gave us energy. However, the descent through the forest was the worst!!!! We had to hold on to trees...

    My 2016 Camino Frances blog in Spanish

    I know this is a forum for English speakers. I have been a member for a couple of years, and have been following it almost on a daily basis. I have learned so much, and continue learning, as I prepare my next Camino. However, today I thought, "maybe there are some Spanish speakers out there...

    Avoiding the strikes/cancelled train

    The day we arrived in Bayonne, in May 2016,there was also a strike. We were afraid we would miss the communal dinner at the albergue in SJPP, so we called them. They were very nice, and said not to worry, that they would wait for us. We had to spend the day at the train station. That evening, a...

    Drying clothes while walking

    Yes, my husband carried one on our Camino Frances. It was very useful. We bought it at Walmart, in the US. It’s one of Those we use to laundry delicates.

    Missing the Camino like crazy

    I was going to propose the same idea. While we were walking in 2016, we met a man, whom we saw every day as we were approaching our day’s destination. This man was always walking on the opposite direction, as if he were coming back from Santiago. After seeing him four or five days in a row, we...

    Save the Bottom Bunks for the Elderly

    Coleen, I did my Camino in May 2016, and I am already starting to feel the way you just described it: I am being uncomfortable in my comfort. I also miss that feeling and find myself watching videos on Youtube that will bring me back to those fantastic (and blister painful) days. I am happy for...

    Anyone in Bayonne today?

    Thanks for the advice, Gerard. We ended up making the best out of it, and visited the town some more. Now waiting patiently until 6:00. Our albergue folks were so nice, they wrote back saying they will wait for us to have dinner. Already feeling the good vibes of the Camino.

    Anyone in Bayonne today?

    We just arrived at the train station in Bayonne, ready to buy our tickets for the noon train to SJPP, to find they are on strike today. We can only take a bus at 6:00 PM, which means we will get late to the albergue's communal dinner at 7:00 (I have to admit I was looking forward to it). Is...

    First Lesson Learned.....

    Last minute advice for first timers.

    Thank you for your comments. I'm a few days from I'm learning from your comments. I'm a few days from the beginning of my Camino, I keep packing and unpacking, and I am still 2kg over the desired weight. I think it's the toiletries ... The rain gear....I need to find a way to get rid of more...
