    My friend and I walked the Camino Ingles in October 2018 ?(aged 68 and 70o$. First Camino, self booking mostly albergues and little Spanish. No problems finding accommodation, support, fellow pilgrims, time and space and only one day of rain. Trip of a lifetime, out of time, space and...

    When my sons were small 8,6,4 they taught their grandma to dance the Macarena which she loved. For Christmas that year we bought her a motion activated gorilla that played and danced the song. We still have it 25 years later and it goes through n a place of honour under the Christmas tree. It...

    Minor Glitch Hopefully - Asking for Prayers

    Dear Annie. My thoughts and heart are on this journey with you. I was diagnosed in August by my horse head butting me and finding the lump under the bruise. I have finished chemo (my chemo camino), surgery, begin hormone treatment tomorrow and start radiation in two weeks. All terrifying but...

    Tips for Uphill Walking or Hiking

    My friend and I have totally different strategies for uphill walking. She puts her head down, walks slowly and just keeps going to the top. I count a 100 right foot steps, pass her on the way up but then I stop, turn around to look at where I’ve come from and where I’m going and then she passes...

    The Camino does NOT start in StJpdP - discuss

    Love this thread and all the opinions. I walked “my” Camino when I left home in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and flew to London, and onto Santiago. I chose the Camino Ingles not because it was short, or complete or quiet but to honour my British forebears wh o would have come to Coruna or Ferrell...

    Stopping for two days in Padron

    I am hoping to walk the Camino Portugués in March 2020 with two of my adult sons. We hope to walk the littoral and parts of the coastal route. They are young and fit and would like to do the Variant Spirituel. I am 72 and would prefer to walk the regular path to Padron and meet them there...

    On the Camino as in life, I believe we have no choice but to put one foot in front of the other and keep on going

    I think of walking theCamino as slow tourism. Just like the slow food movement, the process of slowing down to appreciate every moment good or bad is wonderfully refreshing

    Inglés in September 2019

    Last October we walked the Camino Ingles. We left Betanzos and walked to the new albergue in Presido one day then on to Bruma the next day. Two easier days rather than one long one

    Camino Ingles next!

    Camino Ingles was my first Camino(71 year old Canadian woman) and it was magical. The hills out of Pontedeume and out of Betanzos were the most challenging bits but were early in the morning and forgotten by my first tortilla and coffee. Stayed in xunta albergues and the people, scenery and...

    Sleeping bag?

    I took one of these space blankets to the Ingles in October. Nobody complained but I was always aware of the crinkly sound it made when I moved. Liner and down blanket next time
