    Walking with headphones?

    Yes, the issue IS about bicyclists and the hazard they pose to those who choose not to hear and those who cannot hear.

    Walking with headphones?

    Sorry that this happened to you. I am an avid biker, but bikes on the camino are a bad idea. I cannot imagine the audacity of ringing a bell or honking a horn and expecting a pedestrian to get out of my way. There are plenty of quiet back roads and farm roads that bikers could use to make...

    Walking with headphones?

    People who wear big or noticeable headphones might not be listening to anything at all. On an airplane or on a walk, it often signals the same thing: "not interested in conversation right now". Not wearing headphones so that bicyclers can be heard is about as strange as saying that the deaf...

    Update on The Way 2

    I've never liked Martin Sheen, so it is remarkable that I still like The Way. It is among a very few movies that I have in my library. I host international travelers in my home. Most are surprised at my question. (If I show a movie that I think is worthwhile, the after-conversations are...

    Protest signs along the Camino near Santiago

    I've always been a poor speller. So I understand when I see a B where a V should be, or bisa bursa. When correctly speaking Spanish (and depending on where you are) the sounds of B and V are often the same... very soft.

    Lunch in Madrid

    The poster also indicated that there was time for lunch.

    Where do i get the stamps from, on my credencial?

    How much space (or how many pages) would you reserve for the last 100km?

    Feedback on packing list please

    I say yes to the spork. Almost all my mid day meals were sourced at grocery stores and eaten someplace nice, along the trail... like a picnic. Please! Do not be the thoughtless type who uses disposable cutlery. Even better, I have a knife, fork, and spoon that I bought at REI. I think they...

    Coming to the Camino Frances, a flood of tour groups

    If this post and thread do not violate "The New Rule" then I don't know what would. Not that there is anything wrong with this post and thread, it is the new rule, poorly conceived.

    Wild camping

    Add just a pinch of spice to your adventure and go for it. You will spot hundreds of discrete places to step off the trail and disappear into the flora.

    Changes to the Camino

    I see no smoke... as if too much incense smothered the embers.

    Changes to the Camino

    I too would enjoy watching this; I view it as something of a gimmick.

    Albergue idea - group snorers together, away from non-snorers

    Plenty. When traveling, I always stay in hostels. Each is unique but in general, the albergue environment is similar all over the planet. I think many pilgrims off the camino who would not consider a hostel in their other travels. Too bad about that. Such lodging can be just a rewarding on...

    Cyclists

    Restrictions? Trespassing? Lawful? Legal? The way you are coming at this does not align with my mindset.

    Cyclists

    I have had a bike and used one for almost 70 years. I am pro-bike and I every year I host many long distance bikers at my home (via Warm Showers). I am anti-bike on the camino or any trail designed for walkers. I consider it an imposition to step aside for a bike. The same mentality as those...

    Camino Primitivo Video on Youtube

    Nice job on the videos. I could have done without the music, but if you gotta have it, maybe less volume.

    Best Way to St Jean from US

    Well said. Yes, context is everything. So many poorly asked questions with non-sensical answers from people who "just wanna post". (This is not a comment on the quality of Bob's question, but he has indeed gotten some worthless answers.)

    Walking into Santiago

    I think it would be. The coastal route through Portugal interests me, but I have a significant investment in the Frances and I hope to continue/finish that next year. Thanks for the good information and suggestion.

    Making lemonade

    My first two days out of France were similar to yours, except more wet! I enjoyed reading your blog posts but "My shoes and sticks are well worn," ...how did that happen? Peace out, Gurl Scout.

    LIVE from the Camino FRANCÉS: Flies, spiders, isolation & roommates: not what I expected!

    I was not expressing an opinion on that.
