    LIVE from the Camino Living on the Camino today

    'Tempora mutantur, tempora mutamur in illis': times changes and we change with them - and so does the camino (as it has done every day since it began).

    Secure Lock Ups

    Hi, doing the Frances for a short while this October before moving onto a business visit so need to lock up some kit (computer and clothing). Does anyone have knowledge of secure lock ups in Logrono or Burgos or San Sebastian? Richeyboy

    Joseph Fiennes taking family on Camino

    Who cares what Joseph Fiennes or anybody else for that matter is doing or not doing; just do your own thing. Who or what you are is completely irrelevant on a camino.

    Guide App

    I am doing the Frances again this year and rather than carry a guide book I am looking for an app with similar info the Brierley/Yellow book etc. I seem to remember that one was launched (via Ivar?) a year or two ago maybe from this site. Does anyone have any info on this? as well as opinion...

    Pau to Obanos in October

    Hi Peregrinos, I am planning to do the CF again (have become an addict) but starting from Pau and going over at Somport before joining the CF proper at Obanos. If any of you have done this in the first half of October it would helpful for any advice in particular re accommodation at that time...

    Thoroughly depressing

    Why did you expect only the weather you wanted: for the locals that rain was heaven sent? Why did you expect anything at all? However, if you centre your life on expectations and if those expectations are not fulfilled - there's plenty else to try but why blame the camino: it is what it is...

    Santiago to Madrid

    Thanks everybody for your very helpful replies. I think I have sussed it now and have made the Renfe site work for me but only up till the 22nd October and thereafter nothing yet 'up' which explains why I have been unable to get a ticket yet as I want to travel on the 27th Oct. As some of you...

    Santiago to Madrid

    Hi All, Does anyone have recent experience of travelling by train from Santiago to Madrid (Chamartin or Atocha)? I have tried endlessly to book via the internet and there is no entry for such a journey. Is it me or has something changed recently; for example is the line open after the dreadful...

    Brian Sewell (1931-2015), art critic and peregrino

    He was a great connoisseur by nature and thus a most perceptive art critic, which I think would have led him, much earlier than most, to investigate the camino. His TV series was a delight. His apparent snobbery and extraordinary accent served only to disguise his love of all that comes...

    Just Finished The Camino Frances St Jean To Santiago Some Thoughts

    Congratulations, Tony, it looks as though you have received one of the greatest gifts that the camino can bestow: that of seeing life as it actually is. The fog of fantasy, assumption, prejudice and judgementalism has been rubbed from your eyes it seems and it is obviously quite a shock, as it...

    Starting from Lisbon on September 25th

    Hi Petya, I will be starting from Tomar, a few days north of Lisboa, on the 1st October so we might meet up. I will keep an eye out for you and in any case you now know what I look like not that means anything as there do not seem to be too many pilgrims around at that time of year - not like...

    Has anyone started in Lourdes and walked to St. Jean Pied de Port?

    Hi again re IPhone - they are too clever sometimes so buen camino came out as burn casino!

    Has anyone started in Lourdes and walked to St. Jean Pied de Port?

    Hi, I have been off the forum for a few days. Anyway in the end due to a problem back home I had to cut the first week so did not do the French section. However from my research you have got the route correct but a map would help so I cut a section out the relevant Michelin map which would have...

    Vodafone Tourist Sim - Reviews?

    Does this sim work on the Portuguese for both Portugal and Spain or are separate ones needed for each country? Any ideas too on whether one can buy the Vodafone sim at Lisbon airport? Thanks

    Guides on Camino Portugues

    Hi all, I am planning on doing the Portugues this autumn sometime as a change from the Frances. I would be grateful for any advice on the most useful and up to date guides (Brierley? Miam Miam etc?). Or is Ivar's app all you need? Thanks in advance.
