    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Four cases from the Camino

    The virus is a respiratory virus and by nature more virulent in winter? It's blowing through the USA in the heat of the summer when many felt confident it would die out in the heat. Not sure it can get much worse in winter.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD The Municipalities of the Way present their Protocol of Action for the Shelters of pilgrims to the Covid-19

    My partner and I booked an April 2020 Camino trip through a European company (not located in Spain) that we had to postpone. This week, we inquired what the current status of things was with albuergues, etc. We were encouraged to come as early as July, even though we can't because we live in the...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Reopening Portugal?

    I am wondering if any albuergues will be open in Portugal...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Governmental guidelines albergues

    Ah, perhaps not a miracle, but maybe the joyful expectation that pilgrims will be of service, rather than expect to be served.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Designing a Camino for the COVID-19 World

    Today from the WHO: "The World Health Organization is warning that people who have had coronavirus are not necessarily immune by the presence of antibodies from getting the virus again. “There is no evidence yet that people who have had Covid-19 will not get a second infection,” the WHO said...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Designing a Camino for the COVID-19 World

    The Camino will be what it has always been. It has always adapted to the realities of pestilence, war, good times and bad. We possess no more capacity than any of our pilgrim ancestors to design it the way we wish. As many of us want to be good guests, we'll wait until the good people of Spain...

    Anyone have a favourite British Pilgrimage?

    My partner and I walked the Coast 2 Coast earlier this year. It is not really a pilgrimage, but more of a beautiful hike through parts of England that are still quite wild. It remains poorly marked which makes it kind of fun!

    How many Protestants are on the Camino de Santiago?

    These statistics are not believable to me. In April-May-June 2018, I walked the CF and despite inquiring with fellow peregrinos why they were walking, exactly zero indicated they were Roman Catholic and treating the walk as a spiritual pilgrimage. I'm a minister, so I was very interested in the...

    Birds

    You bet! Go to eBird and see what is around. I had 100 species last year from late April to early June on the CF.

    Cathedral Closed...Is the Camino still worth it?

    Without question, as a member of the clergy for 25 years, at a visit to a small, one room chapel just outside Burgos, I was blessed by two elderly nuns who spoke no English. I felt no such blessing or welcome at the Cathedral in Santiago which felt instead like a carnival. The Camino is not...

    rain pants for the CF in late april/may?

    Yes. We walked last year 4/28 to 6/4. There were four days of intense cold rain near the end. I had a great rain paints and was fine. My partner did not and she was miserable.

    Did anyone regret walking the Camino?

    I've met a few people who started the Camino on a lark, were unprepared physically, mentally and spiritually and had a miserable time. They don't talk about it much, unless they are from the fellowship of the miserable, because their voices get drowned out by those who were transformed by the...

    Class of 2018

    My partner Jen and I are leaving SJPdP for Finisterre on April 28th. This is her first long distance pilgrimage. This is my seventh, all very different from one another, ranging from 3,700+miles to 200 miles. I did the long walk across America in 1986 when I was a spry 28, so it will be fun to...
