    August heatwave on camino

    I want to do a spontaneous camino yet again with arrival in 3-5 days (based on the flight price) to MADRID. I’m thinking of doing the primitive way or the winter way - I did the French in the past and I have about 2-3 weeks max to spend in Europe. My question is how is everyone handling the...

    Tales from the camino

    My first camino has come to an end. I originally thought I’d be posting my stories here under the LIVE FROM CAMINO, but my journey had different plans for me. I posted mostly to Instagram stories as it was the most efficient and least time consuming option on the go. I am now starting to go...

    Camino Tattoos

    I have never been a tattoo person, thinking there was nothing I could commit to for my entire life. BUT… I loved other people’s tattoos and the stories behind them. I finally got a meaningful tattoo 3 years ago - and it was going to be my only one. Little did I know I would end up getting...

    Botafumeiro - All Saints Mass

    May someone please explain how does getting into the mass on the all saints day (with botafumeiro) work? One of the pilgrims told me yesterday that I would have to make a reservation at the pilgrims office at the cost of $300 to attend. True?

    Any solo females who walked the camino Primitivo?

    It seems more and more likely that I will be walking the camino Primitivo alone. I just wanted to reach out to women who have done this tours before me to get their feedback on their experience- especially if they have done so in the off season… thank you in advance Kindly, Katherine

    Compeed vs hikers wool or both?

    Until coming to these forums, I had no idea what compeed or hikers wool are… now I do, but I’m still confused… I don’t know if they address the same problem or different problems… should get either or … or both? If both - when to use which? Anything else I should know about foot care? At the end...

    Hospitales vs Pola De Allende

    I am working on planning the details of the route of Camino Primitivo and I caught another snag… I keep seeing many of you mentioning the Hospitales trail and how incredible it is - I was super excited about it until I noticed that going there means bypassing the Pola de Allande… and - it’s...

    Spain entry requirements (from the USA) - October 2021

    With all the last minute planning, I realized it is the COVID times and each country has their own entry requirements which differ depending on when you come from. I’m hoping to find some American pilgrims who can help me confirm that for VACCINATED travelers, all I need to have with me (other...

    Grandas de Salime albergue in late October (or another place to stay)

Does anyone know which albergues are open in late October until November? And what is theirs contact info...

    What not to take? And what to not forget?

    As it is my first and very spontaneous camino (I’m off to Europe in few days), I am trying to do it as wisely as I can within my own time and research/planning limitations. I’m definitely thinking about traveling very light, but I am afraid of going too barebones… so here are some questions...

    Camino Primitivo - must skip one part - which one? :(

    So I just made a visual map/plan for my camino and… it turns out I am missing a day :/ I don’t know what I was thinking when I booked my flights, but I somehow under calculated the stages - that what happens when it’s a spontaneous trip (result of having last minute time off and the wallet...
