    Seeking patch

    Hi All, When I completed the CF last summer, I managed to get a patch from the big patch store to the northeast of the cathedral. Unfortunately, I only obtained one (I should have bought one or two more). Anyhow, I'm hoping somebody could help me out and pick one up for me. It's blue with...

    Walking for Others

    Last summer, I had the honor to walk the Camino, both for myself and for others. From SJPdP to SdC, I walked on behalf of my father, dead at the age of 45 from cancer, and on behalf of 15 law enforcement officers who were either killed in the line of duty or died as a result of injuries/PTSD...

    Seeking Darko from Croatia

    Hi All, I completed the CF on 24 July (just in time for the Feast of St. James - something not to be missed) and I made friends with a very tall Croatian named Darko. Unfortunately, I can't find his contact info or last name, and I'm hoping somebody who walked between SJPdP and SdC in from late...

    Lessons learned after 900 km on the Camino

    I just wrapped up 900 km on the Camino from SJPdP to SdC, then on to Finisterra and Muxia, and here are a few things I learned along the way and thought I would pass on to others. The quality of the service of the albergue/bar/cafe is usually best when it's run by those who were Peregrinos...

    Sim Card in SJPdP?

    Anyone know if one can get a Sim Card in SJPdP, and if so, where? The alternative is to get one at the Stansted Airport while awaiting my flight to Biarretz (I should have about 4 hours at the airport), but not sure that's the best option.

    Learning a language in a year - documentary of/by a language professor

    As somebody who is far less than fluent in multiple languages, I found this documentary about college professor Jeff Brown acquiring (not learning) a new language in a year. If you've got at least six months until your Camino, you might want to check this out. I wish I had seen it months ago...

    Preventing Fraud while Traveling.

    Hi all, Other than being a writer (novelist and new vegan cookbook for Peregrinos), my day job is as a fraud investigator. I've recently read a couple of discussions about possible fraud on the Camino (cards, theft, etc.), so I thought I'd take a minute and pass on some information that might...

    No room at the inn?

    This question is directed at those that walk the CF during the height of the summer rush. How often have you not been able to find accommodations and what did you wind up doing in those instances?

    Does anyone know if one can purchase Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) and nutritional yeast in Spain?

    PSA: Crocs shrink (and how to unshrink them)

    I'll be doing the CF in the summer, and unfortunately, due to the size of my feet (I could give Sasquatch a run for his money) I have to strap my Croc sandals to the outside of my pack. Crocs apparently shrink when exposed to direct sun (and heat). Fortunately, they can also be unshrunk (is that...

    Morakniv

    Last year my wife and I did portions of the CF, and, as usual, I carried a Swiss Army Knife (never leave home without one), but I had issues while cutting stuff up on the road (almost sliced off a finger when the blade accidentally closed while cutting once). I decided then to bring a fixed...

Planning on doing the entire Camino Frances this year (and then the Camino Ingles with the esposa and la nina). Tickets book through to Biarretz...
