    A Podiatrist in Logroño

    Going through my photos and memorabilia from my CF last year at this time I was reminded of a real bright spot for me in Logrono. I was developing a very painful blister at that point. I located a friendly, wonderful podiatrist who got me right in, took care of the blister, addressed two other...

    Tour de France July 2023

    The route and stages of the 2023 Tour de France for July 2023 have been announced today. The remarkable story here is that the entire first week will run in the Basque region of Spain and France. The route intersects El Norte and doesn’t cross the Camino Frances but is close enough for those...

    Pilgrims “on a mission….”

    I just recently completed my CF. At an albergue in Grañon I met a pilgrim “on a mission”. It was a helpful one at that. On a previous Camino he noticed that the kitchen knives in most albergues were woefully dull. So he brought a sharpening stone with him this time and carefully sharped them all...

    Bikes on the Camino

    I will repost here totally anonymously a post today from a facebook group I’m a member on that is about cycling (and has nothing to do with walking or the Camino)… So instead of cycling I’ve been walking the Camino DeSantiago for the last 32 days. And I learned some things that are going to...

    Border Crossing Spain/France

    I was wondering if when you opt not to go over the mountain but walk along the roadway between SJPP and Roncesvailles is there now a border check these days of any type?

    Doctor Recommendation in Burgos

    Hello! I’m in Burgos taking a few days off. So far, this Camino has provided plenty of highs and lows. Highs have certainly been making new friends, the excellent weather during a stunning Spring, and staying in albergues recommended by friends here. First low was a positive Covid test in...

    Ibuprofen in Spain

    Just a heads-up regarding Ibuprofen if that is a med-of-choice for you in relation to the aches and pains of life. It is readily available in Spain at pharmacies with the green sign. It comes in 400 mg tablets. However, if you use it at the clinical (prescribed) dosage of 600 mg you’ll have a...

    Help me remember an albergue

    Presently walking my third Camino. I have many Camino memories..but not in sequential order! I’m remembering a particular parish church albergue up a flight of steps that featured a communal supper prepared by peregrino volunteers, a non-sectarian time of spiritual reflection led by really...

    Schengen Requirement to show €100 per day upon entry to Spain?

    This news release states that to gain entry to Spain from a non-Schengen country you must now prove that you have €100 available for each day that you intend to be in Spain. I wonder what has been your experience with this law. That would mean for example that if you are flying to Madrid from...

    Best Unique and Comfortable Albergues on the Camino Francés with Communal Experiences

    Hi everyone! I’m looking forward to my third Camino in April. I’m trying to intentionally not have this one be a replay of previous experiences but to totally be something new. To that end I’m planning on staying in different albergues as much as possible. I’m asking if you have one albergue or...

    Advice on storing a bicycle

    I’m looking for ideas and suggestions. My plan is to arrive in Paris, take trains to SJPDP, and walk the CF. So far, so good. At the conclusion of my Camino, my plan is to spend several months cycling in Europe. I’m a seasoned bike tourer, so again, it’s all good. My challenge is storing my bike...

    Offer one Camino suggestion.....

    I have two friends who are preparing for their Camino in September 2021. If you could offer first-timers one piece of sage advice from your Camino experience what would it be? Hint: may it be something unique they’re not already hearing...such as “don’t pack too much”

    Reflecting on my Camino

    I walked the CF in 2019. It was the fulfillment of a dream. Like many pilgrims, I was in the midst of a major transition in my life. There were losses to mourn, new opportunities to explore, changes to accept, and several profound “shifts of consciousness” to integrate into my 63 year old self...

    Newspaper article today in Santiago: More than 200 Pilgr

    The Pilgrim's Office will recover face-to-face attention from Wednesday, July 1, and it will do so with a strict protocol to avoid the safety distance between walkers and workers, and will avoid contacts that can detract from guarantees to the city. Although the office of the Carretas road has...
