    Is it rude to ask people why they walk

    When my husband and I walked the Frances, we came upon a group of people from a cruise who were doing a day trip to walk a portion of the Camino. At this point, we were about 730 some kilometres in (walking Palas de Rei to Ribadiso this day) and neither of us were having a good day. A man from...

    Overtaking étiquette.

    My husband and I are very speedy walkers. It’s just our natural pace, so we often would pass by people, then we would stop for breaks, take photos etc, and they would pass us, then we would pass them again. It was always friendly, although I think some people secretly rolled their eyes at us...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Problem with applying for French Covid Certificate

    My husband and I applied on August 12. My pass sanitaire arrived by email on August 19. My husband’s has not yet arrived. We don’t fly out until September 24 so there is still time. My friend applied the same time as us, and she flies out today. She still hasn’t received her pass. Like us...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid test from Canada

    We are flying to Paris on September 23, from Toronto, and flying home from Porto on November 8. We are going to get PCR tests both ways to avoid any difficulties. Costly but worth it for the peace of mind.

    Second Opinion Update Anniesantiago

    I’m not a frequent poster here, but just wanted to wish you well, Annie. Like the previous poster, I too had a double mastectomy three years ago without reconstruction, and I have zero regrets. I am 53, and perhaps might have felt differently had I been in my thirties. I had to wait a year...

    A question about a sello we got...

    Hi Nate!!! Hope the rest of your travels went well! We also got the sello from the blind man in Ventas, but I didn't realize at first that he was blind. I positioned my credencial booklet upside down! It's all good though...that gave that sello extra meaning for me.

    Stones at Cruz de Ferro and Crosses on Fences

    Firstly, I hope that my question isn't controversial, and it's something I've been thinking about as I have watched many YouTube videos on the Camino, documentaries, etc. Is leaving a stone at the Cruz de Ferro an ancient sort of thing, or is it more recent? Is it something that locals are...

    Compostela Craziness!

    What an interesting thread. And thank you t2andreo for all of your helpful info. Like @walter and Carol above, my husband and I can only afford the time for the Sarria to Santiago de Compostela route in May 2018, with the hope of completing the Camino Frances from St. Jean Pied de Port in...

    Renfe train schedules

    Thanks Highlands! Yeah, the info I first collected earlier today was on my desktop. I've just conducted the same searches on my iPad and received a completely different set of times. Clearly, the correct ones. :)
