    Orisson alternative??

    Gite Antton. Down the hill a ways from Orisson. They picked me up at Orisson, I had a wonderful first night on the Camino at this immaculate and friendly albergue, and then they returned me to Orisson early the next morning, in time to set off with friends who'd been able to snag a bed at Orisson.

    Sara talks about her assault on the Salvador

    I watched this video thinking, "Very typical Camino -- a shame girls are still being put through this on their pilgrimmages" -- right up until Sara reached the last bit about this creep being a CONVICTED RAPIST! Why is a known pervert, who has already been found guilty of rape in Spain, not in...

    Alert to Women Pilgrims about Capilla del Cantu - Asturias, just after Cantabria

    The LAST thing the Spanish police will do is "take action" against gropers. Been there, done that.

    Alert to Women Pilgrims about Capilla del Cantu - Asturias, just after Cantabria

    I have walked two Caminos -- the traditional route from St. Jean Pied-de-Port, and the Voie de Piedmont. Collectively, on these two Caminos I have been: 1) Groped twice, including having my breasts pinched, hard, by a blind man who famously stamps credencials 2) Kissed on the mouth, meaning a...

    Hair

    I carried a hairdryer -- a tiny, lightweight, ionic dryer -- on two Caminos. This was not about vanity; my hair is so thick, and so unruly, that it doesn't dry naturally, even with vigorous towel drying. After 24 hours, this mop of mine will start to smell vaguely moldy, and with that, my...

    LIVE from the Camino More bed bugs!!

    When I walked in the fall of 2016, I made it to the brink of Santiago -- the very brink! -- without a bedbug sighting. I saw evidence of thesee pests several times, and even passed off my arsenal of high-test American antihistamines on one poor guy whose eyes had swollen shut from the bites...

    Stomach bug that won't go away, need help.

    I got deathly ill with food poisoning at the albergue in Terradillos, and ended up hospitalized in Leon for four days of IV antibiotics and hydration. The medical staff told me that they routinely receive very sick pilgrims who lodged at that alburgue (i.e. Terradillos) and come down with...

    Nervous wreck looking to start mid-August 2017

    I walked last fall, from the end of September until November 1st, and had virtually NO rain. There were sprinkles and mistiness a few times, but the weather from St. Jean to Santiago was virtually perfect.

    Nervous wreck looking to start mid-August 2017

    Hi Sue-Sheila -- A year ago, I was in your exact position. In fact, every, single aspect of the Camino that I'd worried and obsessed over turned out to be inventions of my anxious mind -- almost laughably so -- and other, smaller things were actually more of a problem. I'd advise, strongly...
