    Efren Gonzalez is BACK !!!

    Thanks Peregrina. I will have a look at Alvaro, as it sounds more what we like to see. I think Efren on his first CF was better watching than he is now. Since he has focused on monetising his YouTube channel, I’ve found he has become quite formulaic in his approach. His drone footage though, is...

    How Many days to walk from Canterbury to Rome?

    Kiaora Alwyn, from Upper Hutt! I hadn't seen that site before so I will play with it a little. Our plan is Pontarliers to Jougne, and then the following day through to Orbe following the Lightfoot guide. We are really looking forward to the trip. Nga mihi, Mal.

    How Many days to walk from Canterbury to Rome?

    Hi AlwynWellington, Sounds good, and quite similar to us. After doing Fidenza to Rome last year, this year we plan walking from Besanćon to Ivrea, before training to Turin and then Florence, where we will start the journey home to Wellington. It will be later than you though, as we will start...

    Out of curiosity kiwiDavid, what is the app you're using to get these?

    Kiaora Caminka, Not yet, but not too far away. Susie and I will start from Fidenza at the end of June walking through to Rome. We will have a blog running as we go in Wordpress. Imagine Walking. Nga mihi, Mal.

    The unpredictable ends of my Camino!

    @lizlane, The Camino is one of those things that is personal to everyone, and it is something for each person to do in a way that they feel is right for them. Susie and I committed to doing a sub-30 day Camino as a challenge. For me, I stopped 2 days short with a foot injury having walked...

    The unpredictable ends of my Camino!

    AndyThomas, I know this feeling well. In 2017, after walking from SJPdP I had to stop at Boente...a mere 46km short of SDC after an injury to my foot. Ended up having to seek medical attention, and was unable to finish. Heartbreaking. This year, in 27 days time, we will be travelling to Italy...

    May the same credential be used over a two-year period?

    Good to know thanks. Had to stop 46km short last year at Boente due to injury after starting from SJPdP.

    Canterbury Cathedral

    We are 18 months out, with a Susie and I planning to do the whole VF from there in 2019. Seems a long way off...but I’m sure the wait will go quickly.

    Can Forum rules be Questioned?

    Hi Giopomerol. I'm one of those who did the Camino for adventure/spiritual reasons as opposed to religious reasons. The experience you have described is one that I personally would have absolutely no objection to reading in this forum. It is a wonderfully written desciption of what you...

    Walking in contemplation

    Adriana, wishing you both a very happy Buen Camino!

    Villar de Mazarife hostels, hotels etc

    Jersey, when you book the double or twin room, you are booking the room itself. So getting a Robert Benigni type character shouldn't happen.

    Reflections after Camino Frances May 2017

    The odd small stone can and does need removing but we did not find that to be a problem. They are quickly flicked out and the comfort of them outweighs any minor stone issue. While we didn't wear our sandals in the rain (as the weather was hot by the time we bought them), there were plenty of...

    Thanks for your kind words Alwyn. Susie and I wish you all the best for your return to 'the way' later this year!

    You could also try Albergue San Antonio de Padua, which was very clean and tidy and also had the option of some individual rooms. Had a wonderful communal meal there where we met Brad Genereux (author of 'A Soldier to Santiago'). Thoroughly enjoyed this place.

    Reflections after Camino Frances May 2017

    MickyD, we bought the Teva Terra FI 4 Sandals and found these to be particularly shock absorbent with a firm enough base to not feel the discomfort of rocky and uneven ground under foot.

    Reflections after Camino Frances May 2017

    The challenge of doing a 29 day camino was for us, to push our physical and mental boundaries. And this camino certainly gave us what we wanted! We are much stronger in ourselves, as well as having gained confidence in our ability to walk longer distances. For us, other Camino's do have...

    Reflections after Camino Frances May 2017

    Susie and I arrived home in New Zealand two days ago from our journey along the Camino Frances and already we are thinking about what we will do next year! We left SJPdP on 27 April, and Susie arrived in SdC on 25 May. For me, my Camino came to an end at Boente, a mere 46 km from SdC after...

    Booking Ahead

    Having learnt the lesson the hard way almost a couple of weeks ago, where we couldn't get a bed and had to move another 6km down the road, we have taken to booking. It has worked well up until today. Our travel was from Ledigos to Calzadilla De Los Hermanillos and had booked a couple of days...
