    Where are all the Americans???

    I just returned from walking the Camino Frances and only met a handful of Americans ( I kept count..I met only 10 in 35 days). I was not surprised , but disappointed. Most Americans I talk to never heard of the Camino and look at me like I have 3 heads when I mention it. What is it with us...

    Plug adaptor

    Will I need the same plug adaptor for both Spain and France? And is it the one with 2 circular prongs. I think there are 2 plug adaptors with circular prongs, one is a bit larger, and if I remember correctly the smaller circular prongs are for France and the larger for Germany. But I don't...

    What percentage receive a Compostela?

    I had read that in any given year, only 15% of those that embark on the Pilgrimage actually complete it. Or at least that only 15% receive a Compostela. That seems like a very low figure, so I am curious to know if there is a place that I might get these figures. I have seen in the forum...

    Cold showers

    In reading through some of the threads, I have come across many with reference to cold showers. I am not a fan of cold showers :( That must be hard to take after a long day's walk, when one would really appreciate a nice hot shower. Do most albergues have hot water? Or, are cold showers to be...

    Vicious snarling dogs?

I know some authors like to put a little spin on it, to add some drama to their stories, but I seriously don't want that kind of drama on my Camino. So, my question is...

    What about food??

    I have heard that restaurants open after the 10PM curfew for albergues and it is hard to get anything good(healthy) to eat. Just bar food, pizza, etc. I am hoping that I am able to eat healthy nutritious food. Do most albergues cook a Pilgrim meal? Are there markets open during the day to buy...
