Tom, it was printed in a nice computer font that looked like calligraphy. I’m not sure if they used two different printers, one for each type of certificate. If I remember correctly in my post-arrival haze, I filled out an online form at the Pilgrim’s Office atrium and was handed a ticket. When...
Hi, @Tigger, I actually did this last month, so I hope my answer is helpful. I found the process to be quite simple, and the Pilgrim’s Office knew exactly what I meant when I asked for a Compostela “in memory of” someone else. Firstly, there’s no need for an extra credencial unless you’d like a...
Hi, all! I’m setting off on the Camino again, and some companions are meeting us in Triacastela on 28 March to walk with us. What’s the best way of traveling from Madrid to Triacastela that doesn’t use up an additional day of travel?
I’ve looked on all the usual sites (Renfe, Alsa, Rome2Rio...
We have very similar plans this year! (Nearly identical, in fact)
While I’ve not walked in March/April, I walked during September/October in 2021. Mornings could start out chilly, but warmed when the sun rose. I might have started with a jacket and hat, and ended the day with just a tshirt. It...
Ultreia massage and acupuncture in Burgos was wonderful. I don’t say this lightly, but it transformed my experience. I hobbled in with a painful IT band, and walked out pain free and renewed for the rest of the Camino. The massage itself was painful, but it’s what was needed to get me going...
Thank you all for such kind words. I feel much more encouraged by hearing your stories and advice.
I have decided to take a bus to Logroño, visit a physiotherapist there, and rest a day or more. This is my Camino and how I was meant to complete it, so I’m going to let God dictate my plans from...
Hello all,
I’m writing from Los Arcos, where I’m babying an injured knee, in search of advice. While I’m not sure how it happened (or when), I’ve been trudging along for a few days trying to keep it okay while still walking, but I’m feeling discouraged. I visited the pharmacy a few days ago and...
Hello, everyone! I'm Kaitlyn, and I'll be setting off on my Camino on 18 September from SJPdP.
I fly into Madrid on the 16th and will make my way to Pamplona the same day, if anyone would like to split a taxi. I'm giving myself the 17th to rest up and get last-minute items, then am leaving...
Connie, I think I'm going to be arriving on that same plane in the middle of September. Did you check any luggage? How do you recommend getting to SJPdP from Pamplona?
