    LIVE from the Camino Anyone near Castrojeriz now

    True. Albergue Orion should not be called Korean Albergue simply because it is popular due to its "bibimbap" dinner. However, their "bibimbap" dinner is authentically prepared by the Korean lady (Changsui), Dani's partner in the albergue.

    Heavily pruned trees

    In some places, gardeners/farmers prune (to just big stalks/branches) plants heavily for healthier growth (leaves, flowers, fruits, etc) for the upcoming season..

    Pilgrimage - selfish?

    Yes, things that ruin family and friends are (talking about) politics (everything related), religion, and borrowing money. Ultreia et Suseia.

    The Camino will provide?

    Yes! The camino is THE people (pilgrims) on it. Without the pilgrims, the camino as it is regarded, would be, well, just another trail or path or way. "Camino provides" does not mean providing material things. It means providing hope that things are going to be alright. That with hope, one can...

    Confused over date format

    How about jacket zippers? Europe zippers are inserted rightie while leftie in US. Tylenol/Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) pills with 1000 mg each. Clothing product tags are almost a foot long, an inch maybe in US.

    Confused over date format

    I believe Spain, particularly business transactions, uses the ISO standard/format calendar; most significant number (year/yyyy), next significant (month/mm), then day number (dd).

    Getting to SJPDP

    My kids and I used Express Bourricot from SJPdP to SDC between end of Sep to middle of Nov 2022, and worked great and no additional fee for all that number of days. The Express Bourricot office in SJPdP is right next door to the Pilgrims Office. The only thing was, when we got our luggage back...

    Getting to SJPDP

    Food for thought, depending on your luggage's weight/bulk, and your accommodation's location in SJPdP, the bus from Pamplona stops about 4-6 blocks away from the citadel. Last year I had a hell time dragging my luggage from the bus stop to my accommodation near the Pilgrims Office at the Rue de...

    Partially unplugging from the world

    What I did during my caminos, I only used my gizmos as safety and security devices. Prior to my walk I advised family and friends that I will contact them at the end of the day, time permitting, and/or unless something drastic happened. It is amazing how liberating, envigorating, and refreshing...

    Closing Time of Office

    When I worked at the Pilgrims Office in Santiago de Compostela June 2023, the office opens for service at 0900 (9AM) and closes at 1900 (7PM). I believe that is the usual schedule year round except for designated religious holidays like Christmas, Easter, etc.

    Kdrama Camino Sighting!

    Albergue Orion in Castrojeriz serve "bibimbap" prepared by Sanghui (Korean lady), as well as spicy/hot ramen noodles for dinner. Dani, part owner, made sure I enjoyed my stay and dinner there twice (2022/2023). I have seen several albergues, hostels, and pensions (cannot remember the names)...

    Kdrama Camino Sighting!

    An aside, good portion of Koreans are Christians. Koreans walk the Camino de Santiago encouraged by "Korean Hostel in Spain," a TV variety show in Korea. Three pioneering Koreans decided to start an albergue to provide passing travellers a comfortable resting space and warm Korean meals...

    Private albergues/Guesthouse In Ventas De Narón or Salceda

    I immensely enjoyed Tia Teresa's laundry service and half pound entrecot. I wanted the chuleton but Tia Teresa's husband (I think), told me it was too much (size/quantity) for one person. Morning of my departure, he drew my tired and hairy face on my morning coffee. He's so cool. Buen Camino.
