    Best towns to take two nights on CFrances

    In 2014 I stayed with the Benedictine monks at Monasterio Benedictino San Salvador del Monte Irago in Rabanal del Camino. If you stay with them they ask you to stay 2 nights and join them in chanting the Divine Office throughout the day; joining them for lunch also. Rabanal del Camino is a...

    Favorite “Mid Stage” Albergues

    I totally agree! There are so many wonderful places to stay, and so many wonderful people you will meet whose stories you will want to share. Don't plan the future. Live in the present and let your Camino unfold as I'm sure it will for you. Be prepared to change your plans.

    How many Camino routes are there?

    Thus saith the Lord, "I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore, and as the Caminos which lead to Santiago..." and elsewhere... "And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus...

    Bondi to Manly

    Another great walk is the Seven Bridges walk. This is a 27km loop around the inner harbour (i.e. west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge), and is easily walked in a day. I've walked it twice. The walk crosses 7 iconic Sydney bridges - the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Pyrmont Bridge, Anzac Bridge, Iron...

    Photography equipment?..

    Oops! Sorry! I too have ignored your main concern regarding safety, and have focused instead on the topic of your thread, being "Photography Equipment?". I had no issues with the safety of my pocket Lumix in the albergues. The camera was always with me, and in the bottom of my sleeping bag...

    Photography equipment?..

    On my 2014 Camino I carried a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60. The "TZ" stands for "Travel Zoom". It is a pocket camera. I found it the perfect photographic companion and produced some wonderful shots with it. If you're into stats: 6.16x4.62mm sensor size, 18.1 megapixels, 30x optical zoom (35mm...

    The Camino will be waiting...Australians

    I had planned to walk my second Camino last year, from Montserrat to SdC. Things got cancelled. Now, I don't know when I will get to walk my next Camino. At least I can keep planning. I'm now toying with the idea of walking from Cap de Creus (Spain's easternmost point in the Mediterranean)...

    A Photo from my 2014 Camino

    Here's a photo I took on my 2014 Camino. I took it in the early morning after just leaving Terradillos de los Templarios. I didn't realise it at the time but I think I took the photo within a few 100 metres from where the cover photo of John Brierley's guidebook was taken (see inset) - the...

    Accommodation on the Cami Catalan in the Los Monegros/Ebro area

    I do like @islandwalker's idea. I could walk from Bujaraloz to Venta de Santa Lucia (18km), and then catch the 15:42 bus back to Bujaraloz. The next day I could catch the 6:48 bus from Bujaraloz back to Venta de Santa Lucia, and walk to Fuentes de Ebro (24km). This seems a satisfactory...

    Accommodation on the Cami Catalan in the Los Monegros/Ebro area

    Thanks for your reply @JabbaPapa. I carried a sleeping mat on my first Camino but never used it. Dare I consider it as an option this time round? Hmmm. Alan

    Explain your forum Avatar (name and picture).

    My name is straightforward, it is simply my first name followed by the initial of my surname (ho hum!). My avatar is a photo I took of my "pilgrim shadow" in the morning, after having left Zirauki on the Camino Frances in May 2014. I love pilgrim shadow photos. Jungian analysts enjoy!

    Hola Peregrinos, I am from Warburton in Victoria, Australia.

I am wondering what...
