    Why No Public WCs along the Caminos?!?

    I wasn't a tourist, neither an many who Walk the Camino! We are not "demanding." Stop being so defensive, judgemental and arrogant on who or what is a 'pilgrim' and a 'tourist!' These are simple suggestions on how to attend to our natural needs and on how to keep the environment clean. Why not...

    Why No Public WCs along the Caminos?!?

    Wow! A bit bitter are we today! Also, some rather insensitive comments too! Yes, it is a "road" but it is not in the backcountry or the outbacks! The Way does move through, around and into towns, cities... urban areas with some rural areas where there is an abundance of traffic-- pedestrian...

    Why No Public WCs along the Caminos?!?

    I walked in May and many of the cafes on the beach off the boardwalk were closed because it still was in winter mode.

    Hi, on the Portuguese Camino, I tried to visit each Church I came across for some peace, quiet, rest & shade and I found most of them were closed & locked! Of the few that were open, it would be nice if they also had a stamp. I understand that Churches are frequent victims of vandalism &...

    Cathedral Closed...Is the Camino still worth it?

    Hi, I just completed my first Camino. I knew they were not having the usual Pilgrim's Mass with the botafumeiro in the Cathedral but after many, many years of waiting, I went anyway because the time was right. I gained so much on the journey itself but like everyone else I was disappointed that...

    Coffee in Spain

    Cafe con leche - the drug of choice for this Pilgrim in Spain, it's a Cappuccino in Portugal.

    Lack of balance

    Hi, Do visit to your PCP doctor about your balance issues & explain how they are interfering in your activities. Do you have low blood pressure? Are you managing your blood sugar levels properly? With protein, so your sugar level doesn't drop like a rock? Also, ask for a referral to see an ENT...

    I am on the Camino now. My friend fell last week in a store in Porto and injured her knee & ankle. She did get an x-ray and the ER doc was told her nothing us broken but stay off it. She did for only for a few days, got impatient then started walking the Camino. She lasted only a few days. The...
