    Extra Masses for 2010

    Hi I read somewhere that there might be extra masses conducted during the Jubilee year to cope with the influx of pligrims - is that true and does anyone know of the times and locations of these masses? thanks

    Filming the Camino De Santiago

    Yes, I would agree. The film the documentary would be in conflict (for me at least) in "doing" the Camino. One may be too involved in getting information down to fully experience the moment or be quiet in contemplation. However, I must say that recording images down for later reflection &...

    Filming the Camino De Santiago

    Hi Katie, I carried a Canon Digital videocam and an ordinary Digital still camera. The pix and videos were not for professional use, but for recording memories etc and I am very happy that we did carry the extra load. Am having much fun editing and putting together stuff. iMovie is a fun tool...

    Hotel in Léon

    thank you ! I stand corrected.... must be the drinks there that contributed to memory loss ! Quite a "happening" place... it was bustling when we left AFTER we had dinner at one of the local cafes there

    Campanas San Juan?

    Great location it took a while to find the place, but it is literally 200m from the N entrance of the cathedral and the first evening we were there, we were treated to a carillion of bells announcing the election of a new Pope ! The rooms are charming and the people who run it really lovely.

    Hotel in Léon

    Hostal San Martin, Leon I stayed there just 2 weeks ago - they were not full then, but as the season progresses, you might book in advance (http://www.turismocastillayleon.com/) It is literally 5 min from the Cathedral, nice and quiet, but within walking to the Barrio Humidor (is that what its...

    well done !! congrats Pilgrim !! our motley crew of 5 Canadians and 1 Singaporean and 1 Malaysian arrived on the 27th after starting from Sarria on the 23rd. I know we did a much shorter journey but we had some pretty intense emotions arriving in the Praza Obradorio. I think as we approached...

    Test message from mobile

    so did you access the website with GPRS or send an email to upload the post ? I find the connection speeds with a mobile for loading webpages really slow, but sending emails are pretty decent. are there internet cafes along the camino ? and in which towns ? what should be the cost ?

    LIVE from the Camino Fever in the Blood

    as someone about to start walking the Camino in 10days time... my 2cents worth. What constitutes a pilgrimage ? indeed - as the Peter's post : some merely fly to Rome or Lourdes.. some walk all the way. I guess for me - till I can stop working altogether - It would mean flying into a place close...

    Filming the Camino De Santiago

    I'm going to bring a little Canon videocam on my walk.. I think sometimes a moving image is worth a thousand words ! (hopefully it will turn out well, have never brought one along on a trip before) :o

    LIVE from the Camino Fever in the Blood

    Buen Camino Pilgrim !! will be looking forward to your posts... and will be on the camino myself too, in less than 3 weeks - I'm so excited and looking forward to it. Wonder if I can post things via email or if I need a more tech savvy phone to log onto internet - do they have GPRS network...

    Spring in Santiago

    that sounds great !! means we don't have to pack so many warm clothes :) And I bet by the middle of April when my friend and I start walking it will be nice and warm (but yeah, we'll still bring waterproofs for Galician rain)

    Santiago to Leon bus or train ?

    yay! managed to book Santiago to Leon train tickets on Tiknet the Renfe website. Seemed to accept Amex and not Visa for some strange reason. Whatever. Thanks for the other suggestions, but I am visiting people in London after the trip so getting in and out of Santiago is the best option for me...

    Renfe - unable to register ?

    I've been trying to register online to book tickets in advance - going from Santiago to Leon The webpage doesnt have enough spaces to accomodate my local address and wont accept credit card info. Does anyone know of trustworthy local travel agents who might do this for me ?
