    Feeling somewhat concerned

    Relax! Roncesvalles can be problematical though. My suggestion is to stay in Orisson on Day 1. Then you will reach Roncesvalles in good time. Other than that, avoid stage towns. And book between Sarria and Santiago

    Vegetarian and Vegan Camino

    1% of 300,000 is 3,000. 3% is 9,000. So yes, thousands

    Vegetarian and Vegan Camino

    You have no idea how many times I have ordered apparent vegetarian food to find a bit of meat in it. Things are not so rosy. I am not a radical vegan, just someone who would like a few more food choice options other than patatas fritas y ensalada sin carne, sin pollo, sin pescado, sin huevos...

    Vegetarian and Vegan Camino

    If we do nothing, nothing will change. If you don't like my method, then you are free to suggest a better alternative, and if your method is actually a better alternative, then other vegetarian/ vegan pilgrims will follow your lead. Result! And if I inspire you to action, double result...

    Vegetarian and Vegan Camino

    Next year, when I walk the Camino I am going to carry hundreds of little fliers, which I will give to the owners of every restaurant that does not offer a decent selection of vegetarian and vegan options. They will be headlined thus: "BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY" And will read: "Did you know that...

    Longer Caminos?

    It is not It is not distance that is important, but time. I would like to walk for a long time, to get lost in the journey...

    Longer Caminos?

    What I mean by adequately serviced is hostel accommodation every 20-30km. I don't want to carry a tent and cannot afford to stay in hotels except perhaps occasionally.

    Longer Caminos?

    It ain't the physical challenge. Not interested in that. I want to walk for a long time and see where that takes my heart and soul

    Do albergues refuse the pilgrims who don't carry their packs

    Only an arsehole would judge you for not carrying your pack! If you can afford to send your pack on and want to, do it. It is YOUR camino, so do it as you want to!

    Longer Caminos?

    I am just over half way through my second Camino Frances, and it doesn't feel long enough for me, even though I will go on to Finisterre and Muxia. I have met several people who began at Le Puy, in France, walking about 1500km in total. I would like to walk even further! Can someone advise me...

    Current need to book ahead

    I have had no problems this May, despite all the panicky rumours. The trick is to stay away from Brierly stage towns

    How many Km/day?

    I have met so many people who have injured themselves, walking over 25km a day. Personally, it is a much more pleasurable experience walking 10-15km a day. Plenty time to sit and listen to the birds singing, or just to lie on the grass and stare up at the clouds.

    Where to leave my car

    I have seen two solo women with dogs on the Camino so far this year. They seem to be managing.

    Who is trashing the Camino with the graffiti phrase ‘melted rubber humans ‘

    Perhaps a rather extreme punishment for what really is a minor infraction. But to answer your question, I believe it was a rather demented fan, who stalked one of the musicians in the band. I know she got in trouble with the police over this, but it must have been a decade ago. I heard the...
