    Those we leave behind

    Mine is usually a bit of guilt that I am experiencing something so spetacular without the people I love most beside me. It's only that i want them to experience it too. Can't always be that way, and this is the time of your own pilgrim soul. Hope all your caminos son buenos.

    Travel pants that don't look like travel pants

    Yeah, I'm thinking that's going to be a little tough on my squeamishness.

    What to do with hair!

    To some pilgrims, these things are trivial concerns, and yet we do live when we get home, so they do matter. I don't want your glorious hair to be sunburned. I have been considering what to do about my skin because of melasma. Some things I've found may benefit you. One of them is buffs. The...

    Camino Santiago (Ruta Jacobean) in Gran Canaria

    Hola, Bradypus. Yes, I do, and thank you. I have resolved since undergraduate days to visit the home country of Garcia Lorca. I am coming to do the camino and still deciding a route. Since it's going to be summer, I think this can't be the route for me. Seems like desert and bright, hot sun...

    Traffic and trash

    Hello. Is this a relatively shady route? I'm still deciding my route, and as I'll be there mid-June, I'm hoping to find the route on which i'm least likely to boil. I've seen responses critical in tone to someone who asked a similar question. I'm not looking for a walk in the park, but I'm not...

    LIVE from the Camino Trash

    This is discouraging to me as I'm a bit squeamish. In fact, last year the thought of it put me off going on the camino at all. I am planning to walk this year but may take an alternate route. Had thought to camp on meseta, but I fear I'd be camping in a toilet. I wonder how things are along...

    Camino Primitivo to Santiago and then to Muxia & Finisterre Guide

    Thank you for creating a resource. I am planning to come in a few days and haven't settled upon a route. Since so many comments say the heat is fierce in June I'm trying to find a camino with a lot of leaves. Some, I see on other threads, have been dismissive of people who ask this question...

    This is frightening to me.

    An "alternative" new (old!) modality of walking

    Thank you for this information. Yeah, after looking at various descriptions of the rocks and cobbles, it does seem I will need something with to cushion my steps, and as you say, ankle support may be important. I hadn't planned on coming w/out shoes but I think even the lightweight shoes can...

    An "alternative" new (old!) modality of walking

    You know I am wondering about camino shoes. I was born and raised in Florida where I've been barefoot except where shoes are required. I'm getting ready for the camino ( in about ten days). I see suggestions to have one pair of heavy shoes on hand, but I feel like Sparticus on Bird Cage...

    It’s a Long Way from Tipperary to Santiago

    Fantastic. I'm coming from the U.S. in a couple of weeks, but still figuring out which route to take. You are inspiring me. Will look for your posts. Buen Camino.

    If you are interested in Spanish history, check this out

    As. I said in my respose to another post on this subject, thank you for bringing this up. I am coming this month and still deciding which camino, I would like to see these and other monuments. I only wish the world would heed this history. I am going to visit a monument for Garcia Lorca in...

    If you are interested in Spanish history, check this out

    Excellent that you bring this era up for discussion. I was a teen ager when I read the biography of a surgeon who helped civilians in this war and a teenager when I saw the movie To Die in Madrid, and also a teen when Fraco died. At his death, I was disturbed by the fact that I felt glad. Such...

    Coolest, shadiest Route in June

    Coming in the heat of summer, so hoping to choose a way with more leaf, less heat and one that is not foetid and trashed. So, any suggestions on the greenest. Also, one where the local people may still be happy to see pilgrims. I read somewhere that a french section ( Le Puy?) had see a great...
