    LIVE from the Camino Chrissy on the Camino Sanabrés

    After a smooth and uneventful flight from Chicago to Madrid on Iberia, the last three days we have been doing some sightseeing in Salamanca and Zamora, and our days have been sunny, a little cool and not a cloud in the sky. We took the train from Madrid to Salamanca and its historical area is...

    More RENFE routes opening up...

    I have been looking every day for weeks and weeks to purchase tickets from Santiago to Segovia at the end of my Camino on May 13th and was getting concerned as on both the Renfe and Trainline websites it kept saying "no availability" every day. Finally yesterday the date opened up...yay! We were...

I want to shorten the 34k stage going from A Gudina to Laza, and planned to stay in Campobecerros, about halfway between the two. I was planning to stay at...

    Life-size Bronze Statues

    Inspired by the recent "Winding Road" and "Little Sculpture" threads, I thought I'd start another one on bronze statues on the Camino/s. I will start with my favorite; the iconic Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, and take the liberty of posting all three of my photos as I couldn't decide on just...

    "Itchy" backpack straps

    Is it just me🤷 or do any others of you "suffer" with having to tolerate itchy backpack straps as they come down around your chest area before going under the armpit? I have an Osprey Sirrus trampoline back, women's specific 36L. I really like this pack which I have owned for several years, but I...

    A walk from Muxia to Santiago- Part 2

    Day 1- After spending two days in Santiago where the weather was chilly and mostly cloudy, I was actually glad to leave as I'd been to the city a number of times before. The new bus station is really nice and waiting for the bus to Muxia was actually a good experience. We always enjoy the more...

    LIVE from the Camino A walk on the Camino Del Norte

    I am excited to be heading to Spain once again to walk the second half of the Camino Del Norte. My son and I walked the first half of this route in 2016, but had decided to finish on the Primitivo at that time. All arrangements had been made to return to finish the second half in the spring of...

    Artists on Camino

    I happened to see a detailed art drawing by a forum member under "Random camino photos" today. I found the photo intriguing, so I searched the artist's name, @Paul Revill, and found his whole series of 37 drawings as he walked the Camino Frances. He sketches with a detailed, charming type of...

    Post your Camino veggie garden photos

    Another thread has given me the idea to post photos of vegetable gardens seen along the Way. I was fascinated by the size of some of the private ones and their owners toiling in them, mostly older folk.

    Update on Dave Bugg

    I have had contact with Dave Bugg on occasion and just yesterday I received a long email from him describing a recent health crisis he has been going through. Although Dave is a more introverted and private person, he has given me permission to share it publicly with forum members at my request...

    Superstition in France?

    While walking on the Via Podiensis (Le Puy camino) during the month of June my friends and I passed many of these dried wreaths on doorways in certain villages and towns along the way. We asked a local resident what they were, and the answer was in broken English, so couldn't fully get the gist...

    Post your favorite flower photo(s) taken on Camino(part 2)

    I decided to begin a "part two" of a thread I had started in 2018. I was browsing through some of my camino photos today and happened upon a couple of rather unique and somewhat strange flowers from my Le Puy camino to share.

    Poll Lost in translation.

    I've reaf Bill Bryson's book, too, and seen the movie...both hilarious! I will add that I just picked up a copy of the German camino book "I'm Off Then" at my local resale shop for only 25 cents!...translated into English of course!
