    Is my daily average goal too ambitious?

    Then choose a different path. Running is not the purpose of the Camino. You’re missing the point. It’s not for sport but spiritual and mindfulness. If you want to exercise a sport route then you can go anywhere. The camino is about connection with yourself, your mind and soul and particularly...

    What are some Common Camino Misconceptions?

    Is that a question or a statement? I hate those selfish people. And getting up in the middle of the dark walking with a light on the Camino ‘is NOT the Camino way’ as I was told by a local.

    Skipping Pamplona?

    If you haven’t spent at least a day in Pamplona to explore the city then I highly recommend to do so. Lovely place. A must see. I enjoyed wondering around, watching ppl from a cafe and exploring the town. Breath in the vibe. Never rush or haste from one place/town/village to the next. Stop and...

    Trail Runner Brands That Work for wide feet

    I loved my Salomon Extreme. Good tread. Can still walk another Camino. The fact that they have the non-elastic fast laces made them a perfect fit. I have wide feet and couldn’t get a shoe that fitted me. Bought the Salomon 2 sizes up. Had plenty of toe room to wriggle my toes even with swollen...

    Favorite places to spend an extra day/night to visit historical/cultural sites?

    Definitely Pamplona, Burgos and Leon. I spent also 3 nits in Rabanal at the silence retreat in the Monasterio. It was an amazing experience

    Camino Trip Insurance for Australian and New Zealand Travellers

    Same. And they told me that over the phone but that was for July last yr to Raro. They said they’d only cover hospitalisation, not any travel related cost that arise due to covid. But that is now covered by most major travel airlines as they allow for that to happen and want to encourage travel...

    Camino Trip Insurance for Australian and New Zealand Travellers

    Check that the insurance cover covid related medical costs. Many travel companies are good but do not cover covid. I found that out when booking a flight to Raro last July.

    Camino Trip Insurance for Australian and New Zealand Travellers

    I am planning of traveling to Spain/Europe in May and read that some countries (Spain included) request travelers to have medical insurance that cover covid. I checked southern cross and read that they do cover hospitalisation which is the main important bit.

    LIVE from the Camino Need help getting from Santiago to Najera, for hospitalera duty

    Download app ‚Rome to Rio‘. Multiple options with bus/train. Easiest is train to Logroño then bus to Najera. But you can also take a train via Madrid but need to change a couple of times

    Sign at entrance to Santiago

    That is disgusting, disgraceful and disrespectful. Not funny at all. It’s a beautiful sign to see in arrival in Santiago. Didn’t see any trash in 2019. Just also read the article about pilgrims dumping their stuff at n around the cathedral. Maybe it’s time to place warning in multiple languages...
