    Musicians

    I hope this is an appropriate place to post this question, if not, my apologies. I am bringing together professional classical musicians who are also pilgrims for a classical music performance in Santiago, June 2024. This will be a benefit performance (or two) for local pilgrim organizations. We...

    Camino Teresiano

    I just finished walking the Camino Terisiano from Avila to Alba de Tormes. It was only 4 days but I learned so much. Saint Teresa was an incredible woman and had a beautiful insight into life and it’s purpose. This was a very solitary route but at every historical site, every museum, every...

    LIVE from the Camino What do you do when something goes wrong.

    Greetings everyone. I have just completed walking from the far south east point of Portugal, all the way up the coast line, Santiago, Muxia then Fisterra. Getting ready for my return to Santiago then home to California when I received a phone call that my husband had a heart attack and was in...

    Camino Portugues Spiritual Route

    I have just completed the Camino Portugues route arriving in Santiago about an hour ago. I must comment on the incredible Spiritual Route or Variente Espiritual. This was the highlight of my whole Camino. I highly recommend it if you have the option. This was my fourth Camino and honestly, of...

    LIVE from the Camino Week Four

    Greetings from the Camino Portugal. I am just beginning week four having started in Santo Antonio. A detour through Fatima was easily done using my phone GPS as the trail markers were just not there. I am currently in Porto and finally I am seeing other pilgrims. While the Albergues are not...

    Blue vs Yellow

    I began walking the Camino Portuguese from the very south east corner of Portugal about two weeks ago. When I got to Santarem I took the Camino Fatima branch West. What a lovely walk that was. Now, I’m heading north and northwest to Porto to continue to Santiago. Just a word of caution to those...

    LIVE from the Camino Hello from Camino Portugues

    Greetings to everyone from the Camino Portuguese. I am in my second week, coming from California, and I thought people might want to know what it is like. First of all, I had no problem getting into Lisbon airport with my negative Covid results and paperwork for my Covid vaccination. I began...

    Gibraltar

    I leave next week to walk Gibraltar - Lisbon - Porto - SDC. I am familiar with and have been on the Camino beginning in Lisbon, but what about from Gibraltar to Lisbon. Has anyone done this? Any tips? Thanks -Gigi

    Camino Portuguese from Lisbon to Porto

    I plan on doing the Camino Portuguese next June and July. I notice on all the maps that the southern part from Lisbon to Porto is inland. Is there a coastal route? Or do you have to just go “rogue pilgrim” until you get to Porto.

    LIVE from the Camino Via de la Plata

    I am on day 6 of walking Via de la Plata and have only seen two pilgrims, two delightful men from Spain. Are there any other pilgrims out here? I’m loving it! This is my third Camino and so far the best. BTW I am walking solo, single older female.

    Kick Scooter

    Next summer I will be doing my third Camino, planning on doing the Via de la Plata. In my previous Caminos I have seen walkers, bikers, horses, donkeys, in-line skates, and people with dogs but never anyone on a kick scooter. The VDLP has a lot of flat, a lot of cities and a lot of pavement. Has...

    Ireland to Santiago

    Does anyone have any experience beginning a Camino in Ireland, taking a boat to Spain then continuing on the Norte route? I can only find ferries that require one to have a vehicle. Thanks -Gigi

    Post Camino

    I had posed the question about being Jewish and keeping kosher on the Camino. Thanks to all of you who responded. I just finished. Actually, as I write, I’m drinking a glass of Spanish wine in a cafe in the old town. I found absolutely no trouble in keeping kosher. I mostly ate out of grocery...

    Jewish

    As a religious Jew I am very excited to plan for my Camino Francais which will begin June 2018. My questions are to other observant Jews who have done this. How do you keep Kosher? Can you find home stay for Shabbos? What places are there on the Camino that are of particular interest to...
