    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD When will we go back to normal?

    There may be indeed a new form of Camino coming along, and perhaps it can never be normal in the new normal whatever that may be. Have faith though, every Camino, as every day on the Camino, is different, but the laughter and sharing will, I am sure always exist. There is magic on the Camino...

    Public transport along the Camino Francés

    I have now discovered that as far as trains go, one cannot book Renfe till about 60 days ahead of the date of travel, and that also applies for buses on ALSA. I cannot, however, find out information about Autobuses Jimenez, even when I write to their contact e-mail in Spanish. Does anyone know...

    Public transport along the Camino Francés

    I want to thank all of you who have provided quite excellent information about public transport on the Camino. I want to walk the Camino again later this year, but will stay a couple of days in some cities, so I can explore them more fully. What I need to know is if one can buy bus or train...

    Hullo again I am Patrick O'Shea

    Hullo all, Patrick O'Shea again, with the penultimate thought of the day from the 21st of May on my way from Arzua to Pedrouzo The sails of the day flap loosely around you as you walk along, As companions of days, small birds, enthrall you with their lilting song, Small flowers peek their...

    Hullo again I am Patrick O'Shea

    Hullo on Friday from Patrick O'Shea, it appears I am now threading my way through the system a bit better. So now want to share my thoughts on 20 May as follows: Palas de Rei to Arzua on 20 May 2019 Another way, the last really long way, on it goes shifting and turning, Ups and downs, downs...

    Hullo again I am Patrick O'Shea

    I do hope I am now going to post under the correct thread, or at least I am attempting to: I will post 4 of my thoughts from varied days, and then possibly in the next days the last 3 I want to share. I apologize to all for incorrectly using the thread system, and appreciate the kindness of...

    Hullo again I am Patrick O'Shea

    Some have indicated that perhaps I should put a number of thoughts in one post. So here are a few: Logrono to Najera on 27 April 2019 Chocolate colored earth warmly embracing the sacred vines of Rioja, A lovely bed to wrap up all future dreams later woven in wine, Hills looming large at a...

    Hullo again I am Patrick O'Shea

    These were my thoughts from Triacastela to Sarria on 17 May, so had written the following: "This is the first day the rain has really come out of the heavens to play, Slipping and sliding along the tracks, covered pilgrims negotiate the way, Care much needed on the steep descents over the...

    Hullo again I am Patrick O'Shea

    The walk from Rabanal del Camino to Molinaseca on 13 May 2019 created a thoughtful day, and hereby my thoughts on that day: "Hard walk today, stones under the feet, crunching sound in the day, The way goes up and up, and the struggling legs say it's okay, Pines being reached in a short time...

    Hullo again I am Patrick O'Shea

    I was lucky enough to walk Astorga to Rabanal del Camino on 12 May, 2019, and would like to share my thoughts on that day. "Coming into Rabanal with flowers in the edges of dry wall and lovely stone, There is a warm feeling inside, nothing in any way of being alone, Butterflies skipping along...

    Hullo again I am Patrick O'Shea

    I have written some more things on the way, so can share my thoughts about Los Arcos to Logrono on 26 April 2019 "Los Arcos to Logrono, with some concern about the way, The distance to be measured with the blowing wheat fields, The rocky slopes gathering the walkers into bending, Bending the...

    Hullo again I am Patrick O'Shea

    When I walked from Estella to Los Arcos on 25 April 2019, had to write the following thoughts: "Dancing past the rape fields, all gloriously yellow, Joining the wind in blowing through wheat fields, Estella to Los Arcos on a glorious day, Sun always there, and not rain despite threats, Bicycles...

    Hullo I am Patrick O'Shea

    I recently finished the Camino on 22 April 2019, and enjoyed the people, the walk, and the whole atmosphere tremendously.
