    Does anyone know of any shorter pilgrimage routes around the world?

    I recommend St Cuthbert's Way which is a beautiful walk along the Borders (England and Scotland border), ending in the wonderful island of Lindisfarne with its splendid chapel.

    How often do you take a break?

    We stop for a few minutes every hour, and if there happens to be a cafe in the right spot, stop for refreshment for 15 minutes, a few times a day. Usually air feet and change socks in those longer breaks, or at lunchtime.

    Possibly cancelling my camino

    So disappointing for you & your husband. Your daughter is fortunate to have such supportive and loving parents. Maybe reframing "camino" in a more general way will help. It is "the way". We are always on our Camino, our life journey. Taking care of your family is part of your Camino. You are...

    Botafumeio

    Jim, that is wonderful news. I will be in Santiago next week waiting for a friend to join me on our final leg of Camino Finisterre. I will be at the Cathedral on May 30th for 12 noon Pilgrims Mass - and hopefully will see the botafumeiro swing (with deep gratitude to you)! When I reached...

    Self-guided tour companies

    A friend and I used Portugal Green Walks 2 years ago for the Portuguese central route from Porto and we had an excellent experience. Nothing was too much to ask, they were very responsive, the accommodations were fantastic, especially those in Portugal. It is a local company and in our opinion...

    Tour Operator Recommendation on the Camino Portugues

    A friend and I used Portugal Green Walks 2 years ago and they were a fantastic tour operator. Much better than others I've used including Macs Adventures. Green Walks is a local Portuguese company and they provided much nicer standard of accommodation - some really charming places. They were...

    Generic long distance walking question

    Hi there. I sympathize. I've done five long-distance walks including Portuguese Camino and my feet typically start to ache after 4 hours of walking. Two things have helped me: 1) lightweight walking poles take the pressure off feet, knees and hips. 2) Stop for brief breaks during day, take shoes...

    Fitness level

    Hi Luc, You've got lots of good advice here from fellow pilgrims. Walking poles should help A LOT. My suggestion is to increase your training between now and when you leave (I think your post said you don't leave for Camino til September?). You have months of good training ahead of you. Plan to...
