    Celebrating my old age

    Hoping to do another Camino next April. We are 78 and 84. We’ll be slower, but that will not lessen our experience.

    LIVE from the Camino 28 km walk from Palas se Rei in the rain

    We are two who tried a very short escorted ‘taster’ Camino in 2018. My husband was unsure about the whole idea and at 73 and 79, we decided to be cautious. The week was so successful that the next year I did the Camino Portuguese from Baiona on my own, and we did the Frances from Pamplona to...

    Umbrellas

    I am wondering about buying an ultralight umbrella as sun protection. I’d appreciate recommendations.

    Easter Sunday 2024 - March 31. What does this mean?

    We are flying into Madrid on Mar 31 and hoping to catch a bus the same day to Burgos. We have accommodation booked already in Burgos. We will book the bus as soon as we can. Are there likely to be any unexpected problems?

    The new Rule 3 - no more tourist vs. pilgrim debates

    Yes! Because of our ages (77 and 83) we now do all of the things that are often criticised. On earlier Caminos we didn’t but increasing health issues have meant we must change some of our ways. I have frequently felt my blood pressure rise when reading derogatory comments on such as us. The...

    Bed bugs in El Acebo!

    Don’t hesitate to seek medical advice if the bites don’t seem to be responding to pharmacy remedies. I eventually had to go to Burgos Hospital because some of the bites got so bad.

    Tight connection in Madrid

    Iberia personnel! Do they actually exist? We have twice had connections- on the same ticket and issued by Iberia. About an hour between flights. One of them we missed and the other I was on the end of the boarding queue, saying, ‘My husband is just coming’. We looked in vain for Iberia...

    Change to mask mandate on public transportation

    Yes, indeed. I had many spells teaching in Korea over the years and masking to reduce colds or other respiratory illnesses was usual practice - for my students and for me. It never seemed particularly onerous and it was a way we showed concern for the good of others.

    Bag transport in November

    Correos also stops on October 31 so they are not an option although they still function from Sarria in November. It looks like Jacotrans still operates in November but charges more then. I need some wisdom from those who have used them either just day by day or with an email booking covering...

    Bag transport in November

    We are currently walking and are in Santo Domingo. We originally planned to carry our backpacks, but my husband is almost 83, has become a bit stooped and he finds carrying his pack painful and difficult. (We carried our packs three years ago but three years makes a difference at our ages.)...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Spanish health form QR code issues

    Reading these has just raised my anxiety level. We are flying out of Sydney to London on September 30 and into Madrid on October 3, so will have to do the form in London on our phones. We have our international vaccination certificates saved in Files on our iPhones, but have no idea how to...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Latest on Covid

    I saw a post on another forum which said 'Covid is all over the Camino' which rather alarmed me! As older (76 and 82) and possibly vulnerable pilgrims planning to walk in October and November, i wonder how foolish we are. We are double boosted and in good health. Is it possible to get...

    Differences in the walking experience - pre vs post Covid?

We have organised our Camino this way because of our ages - 77 and 83 - and because.my husband has...
