    2017 Invierno guide is DONE and posted!

    I returned from the Invierno a little more than a week ago, and am finally getting around to sharing some notes from the trip. We did a 10-day Camino Invierno, and I decided the easiest way to share observations is to summarize my journal. In general, this route is becoming better known, at...

    2017 Invierno guide is DONE and posted!

    This time next month I'll be on the Invierno. I decided to do a high-intensity training day today since I had the time. 16-18 miles on mostly gravel roads, complete with streams to be forded, loose barking dogs, curious cows, 83 degrees F, a weighted pack and an almost complete lack of...

    It's HOT! Get a HAT!

    I love my hat (worn in my profile pic), which has seen service building houses in Guatemala and helped me on the Camino Portugues in 2008. It's a lightweight fabric - very breathable - with a huge brim. A great advantage is that by twisting it into a figure eight it folds down to a small...

    The future of Camino Hospitality

    My first Camino was probably the best pilgrimage experience of my life, and I can't wait to go again later this year. I met all kinds of fellow travelers in 2008 - some looking for a cheap holiday, some looking for a hike with plenty of infrastructure and support, some making a spiritual...

    Sandals ???

    I'm very tempted to try sandals on my upcoming June camino. I have a well-broken-in pair of open-toed Teva hiking sandals and a pair of thick-soled Chacos. I actually bought the Tevas for my 2008 Camino Portuguese, but after a three-mile test walk I decided no, definitely not. However, the...

    2017 Invierno guide is DONE and posted!

    Thank you to Laurie and company for this marvelous guide! I'll be starting the Invierno June 7 in Ponferrada and walking 10-11 days with a friend from Pennsylvania. This pilgrim-produced guide is an excellent way to plan for what is plannable on the camino. I'll be taking notes when we walk...

    84 pilgrims in July on the Invierno

    A friend of mine and I are most likely going to do the Invierno in the middle two weeks of June, 2017. I read somewhere (I think one of the Galician Jacobean Association websites) that there are plans to develop pilgrim infrastructure along the Invierno between 2017-19 and the Xunta plans to...

    Why you should not walk the Camino del Norte (or at least not until you have read this post!)

    I'm planning a Camino with a friend in June 2017, and we're considering the Camino del Norte. We have to fit in our pilgrimage within two weeks including air travel days, so if we choose the Northern route, we would probably start near the Asturias-Galicia border. I walked the Camino Portugues...
