    Lost & Found Found Bag in Redondela: Valuables, Shoes, and Clothes

    Hey Man I'm doing all those things and trying to be a good Pilgrim. Some support would be nice. Getting tired of a lot of the overall judgment and meanness of late on all these forums

    Lost & Found Found Bag in Redondela: Valuables, Shoes, and Clothes

    You know what astounds me? Today EVERYONE I approached on the route about this was grateful I had it, took a photo of it to share, made a sign to attach to this bag hanging off my pack asking “Is this yours” and just generally tried to help. However here and on groups I shared this with I get...

    Lost & Found Found Bag in Redondela: Valuables, Shoes, and Clothes

    FYI I did approach a police officer about this who was keeping an eye on things. We both agree it was “Pilgrim stuff” and it was ok for me to try and locate the owner.

    Has the Camino Frances become a victim of its own success?

    I first walked the Camino Francis in 2017. Did a bunch after that on other routes and did the Francis again last year. Was it different? Yes. Post covid everything is different. Was it crowded? That is a hard one to answer. I personally had more encounters and ran into more people at cafe...

    Camino Portugues Budget

    Its not as cheap as the Frances but its pretty comparable. I was on the Frances again last year and prices were up for meals by about 1 to 2 euros. For a "meal." I would bank on spending about $12 Euro per person for a pilgrim meal if they are offered. I seem to remember on the Portugese...

    Canada - Camino de la Isla

    I have been eyeing this route for quite some time. Then covid. Then the hurricane. So I am going to be curious how it is now as far as infrastructure after all the storm damage from last year. I will also be interested in the cost. I am guessing this would be similar in cost and...

    A message to groups of men, and to us all.

    Well that escalated quickly. I happen to like the original post. Unlike many of the responses, I took it as meaning that sometimes when you walk alone as a woman, there are groups of men or simply a man who have little if any spacial awareness and that is a pain in the a** . I don''t walk in...

    Walking and Suffering

    The suffering I do on a camino is the work I do to hold space for those who need to point out - yet again - how one needs to do a camino in order to achieve maximum benefit.

    Tour Provider to Finisterre, Muxia, Costa da Morte

    I am also curious about this. I am not interested in renting a car. Also I just checked by the way tours And all they seem to be offering is package tours for portions of various Caminos. Not day trips

    Curious about your VF experiences

    I did it last year from Lausanne to Rome but it ended up being a MUCH different camino than what was intended or what is traditionally considered "walking the VF". I ended up doing my own thing and doing other walking and hiking routes in Italy. Which is to say I loved Italy and the trails...

    How much route planning is actually needed?

    First - its your Camino. Take a moment and ask yourself what would help you get the most out of it. If some or a lot of planning helps do it. If you want to wing it. Do that. The Francis is very forgiving so things will always work out. That said I agree with another poster who...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Green Pass

    Thanks everyone for the great info. So far the one thing I did find out was that people from the US/canada who are in France, are going to vaccination centres in Paris or wherever they are and those centers have provided (with proof of vaccine from your own country) a means to get the Green...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Green Pass

    I was wondering how anyone doing routes in France or Italy are getting the Green QR code. In particular those coming from outside the EU? It looks like we all need this if we travel now to France and/or Italy. Anyone on either routes right now had to get one and if So how? I was really...
