    20 ways to cross the Pyrenees on a Camino

    Thanks very much for the detailed insights! Great info. Will keep researching. Doubt I'll get back over for another Camino till 2022 or later given Covid and personal obligations. So there's plenty of time to prep and research.

    20 ways to cross the Pyrenees on a Camino

    sjeanmarc. Thanks!!! I was aware of the Option 2 Route (Gavarnie and Port De Boucharo). I believe this is an old pilgrim route. But was not aware of Option 1. I'll continue to research. The route thru the Breche de Roland route and then down thru the Ordesa Valley looks wonderful as well...

    20 ways to cross the Pyrenees on a Camino

    Hello. Have been investigating routes from Lourdes. Does anyone have any experience/insights on a Lourdes-Gavarnie-Breche de Roland-Torla-Biescas-Sabinango- Jaca route? Looks interesting.

    The Sudarium of Oviedo, or Shroud of Oviedo,

    Rappahannock Rev. Thanks for your post. I was aware that there are many relics in Oviedo but not that the Sudarium was one of those relics. Good info in this thread! I too hope to be on a Comino route in Aug/Sept next year. Hopefully starting in Lourdes. I'll have to see if I can work out...

    Camino August 2020

    My son and I are scheduled to walk the Frances beginning the 2nd week in August. However, we're leaving from US. Odds are we'll have to cancel given travel restrictions between US and Europe. Good luck!!!!

    Mine are lows so I guess they're shoes.

    If You have Walked the Camino - Do you prefer boots or trail runners?

    Merrill Moab, WP for me. With custom orthos. Over 2500 miles over last 3 years, on two pair. As an old soldier with ankle problems and two neuromas on each foot they're about as light as I can go.

    Eucharistic adoration along Camino Frances

    Pamplona, Church of Saint Ignatius had adoration when I was last there in Aug 2018. Read somewhere it was closed or being closed. Then you have the Eucharistic miracle on display in the Church in O'Cebrerio.

    2nd Camino Aug/Sept 2018

    Jimmy, Yes! Hope to meet you on the Camino!. We had a few hot days last year. We're early risers, started our days around 0600, and drank a lot of water. Think we saw two days of rain and three really hot days so overall the weather was wonderful. We're hoping for more of the same this year...
