    I was the peregrina that was assaulted close to Sacavem on Camino Portugues

    So very sorry for your terrible experience! You have courage to share this story with all of us and, hopefully, this will help keep others safe. Your positive attitude is such a wonderful example for all of us.

    Burst my camino bubble.

    I would like to respond to your post - I talked with a few people, and started following this forum, once I decided to walk the Camino Frances. My friend and I trained, and prepared well. By day 3 of the actually walking, I was frustrated - why did people NOT tell me how physically...

    Post-camino tattoo?

    My friend and I just completed the Camino de Santiago, Frances, on October 25, 2016. About half way through the Camino we spent two days in Leon, and got scalloped shells tattoos - the tattoo artist used my actual Camino shell and some on-line pictures to create our shells. We love them!!!!

    No room in the albergues!

    Hi, I just finished day 3 of our Camino de Santiago, starting in St. Jean. Arriving in Rancesvalles around 4:30, a couple hundred pilgrims were already there. Many of is got into overflow in rooms across the bridge, but all dinner and breakfast tickets were gone, restaurant was out of food, so...
