    Problems convincing youth to go on a Camino...any experience?

    I had a meeting with our pastor and youth pastor this morning that was quite discouraging. I wish I had the collective of pilgrims past in the room. They both described the post COVID experience of getting youth out of the house. Parents, but especially teens are reluctant to go out and meet...

    4 Extra days. Where would you travel?

    My husband and I have ended up with four extra days, leaving Santiago on the 11th and with a hotel and then departure in Madrid on the 15th. We would like to go to two places that offer art or nature and good food, with minimal time in transit. We prefer trains, though that is not a...

    A necessary skip along the Norte, seeking recomendations

    Hello all and thank you for such wonderful information and encouragement to all. I have walked the French a few times and the Portuguese. Never the Norte. I am starting in mid-June in San Sebastian, and have only 21 days of walking. Is it possible to hop a train and do a skip to get me on...

    Indecisive about my next (5th)and my husband's first Camino in late June.

    I must confess, I would be the worst fellow pilgrim to a new pilgrim. "Oh, I remember this place!" So, I must rule out the French, the Portuguese (inland from Porto). It will be late June, and from three weeks including travel time. Any suggestions would be welcome. Considering San...
