    When do most pilgrims feel like quitting the Camino de Santiago?

    Hello there, I did my first Camino about 4 years ago, after my sister telling me about it then doing some research including watching the film ‘The Way’ I felt compelled to walk the CF in one go. However, I didn’t feel like doing it on my own so invited my 18 year old son to do it ‘with me’...

    I would totally recommend this book to read!

    I recently came back from a Camino and felt like reading something Camino related. I found this book, it’s about a woman who feels lost after loosing her husband and decides to go on a Camino to find herself. I’m not a reader, I find it tedious, but Claire wrote so eloquently about grief and...

    Saharan Dust

    My husband and I have been visiting Santander today, all the cars, benches, outside bar tables and seats etc are all covered in a fine dust, I was wondering what it was? Now I know-thank you for posting. 😊

    Rucksack size carry on plane

    Hey Jo, We just put them IN our backpacks. We have never had a problem taking them as carry on. We always have rubber ends on so no sharp points. This time round my pack was 6kg and Freddie’s 8kg, we paid for the Ryanair “package”: priority boarding/2 bags/reserved seats, we usually get a meal...

    Footwear on the plane

    Deodorant Preferences

    Hello live from the Camino del Norte! I usually use a Nivea roll-on, but this is certainly a no go for a Camino as it comes in a very heavy glass vessel! For this Camino I decided to try a solid stick deodorant from ‘Lush’, I can say that it smells very nice and I do not seem to be perspiring! 😂...

    Pee Cloth - leave no trace

    I was worried about this whilst preparing for my first Camino (July 2018). I think the amount you need to pee also depends on the time of year and how much you are perspiring! In the month I was walking I rarely got caught short. I only drink decaf which also helps, I did not deprive myself...

    How to translate Gronze.com on my phone into English

    Hi KCP, I always use Google Chrome when in Gronze, however, be aware it also translates the village, Alberque and hotels names which can be frustrating and/or annoying! 😂😂😂

    Seven Days Walking (Music)

    I do love Ludovico Einaudi but I would be afraid the music would influence my pace of walking….very slowly! 👣😄

    Omicron be damned, I bought flights to Portugal today

    I feel your pain. My husband is very anti travel with all this Covid business going on, I had just convinced him to go to Lisbon in January to do part of the Camino Portugues, luckily I was just at the planning stage and looking at flights to fit in with our dates, as now with “omicron” he has...

    Which Route? Have 27 days to walk.

    There is a Camino planner for the Frances, you can plot your stages according to how many km you want to walk each day. 😄👣 godesalco.com

    2yrs planning 1yr delay only 6 months to go

    I walked the Frances in 2018, the best advice I got was….if you plan on stopping either the village before or after the ‘set’ stage in the guide books you’ll find there is less of a bottle neck for accommodations. I found that The majority of pilgrims tend to use Brierly guide books which I too...

    Quick Question about the Stamps

    Hello, I was under the impression that you only need two stamps per day if you are only walking the past 100km, however, if you have walked the Camino from the beginning ie: Camino Frances from SJPdP to Santiago, one stamp fee day is sufficient. When I walked the Frances with my son, Donald, in...

    !!!Second man masturbating naked on the camino del norte!!!

    Aww thats a shame, I hope you don’t allow 2 idiots to spoil your Camino experience. I’m not sure how I’d react if that happened to me, I feel so sad when I read those things. Thank goodness for modern technology, I’ve just uploaded the two apps that have been mentioned on this thread. Be strong...
