    Camino Portuguese, River route in Tui

    I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year? Could it get flooded if there is a lot of rain? Is it very isolated? I have been walking solo...

    Alternate route from Orbenille to Porrino

    Before Covid I walked as far as the cafe in Orbenille, had something to eat and continued on the road as it swung west and there on the right hand side was a little gap in the fence to the alternate route. In 2022 some way back maybe 3 0r 3 Kilometers there was a sign pointing to the left...

    Courtesy to pilgrims for whom English is not their first language.

    Over the years I have been amazed at how pilgrims from all over the world have been willing to converse in English, even when I am the only person present for whom English is a mother tongue. When with pilgrims who make this effort for our benefit I feel we should make every effort to speak...

    Safety Pins

    Experienced pilgrims know the value of a few safety pins. Some new pilgrims have yet to learn. How often have you seen teeshirts or socks blown off the clothes lines. I suggest that this year we all bring some extra pins. They cost very little and weigh almost nothing and yet will enrich the...

    Speak English Well as a courtesy to others

    Oftentimes on the Camino when there are people of several nationalities present English is used as the common language, which is of great advantage to those of us for whom English is our mother tongue. Out of courtesy for those for whom English is not their mother tongue we should make an...

    Mary and Joseph on Camino

    As I make last minute preparations for Christmas I reflect on the camino being made by Mary and Joseph. I am convinced that they expected to have registered in Bethlehem and be home in Nazareth before the expected birth. I base this on the fact that no young girl wants to leave their own women...

    Foot clinics Logroño

    Hi everybody, Over the years I have heard mention that there are good clinics for foot problems in LOGRONO. I never seem to be able to source old posts. My son has gone on the Camino. I have reason to believe that he thought that because his old mother had done it that it would be a easy for...

    Pilgrim Blessing.

    Hi everybody, With so many new English speaking people who are doing the Camino as a result of 'the way' and who do not know Spanish I thought it might be a good idea to translate the words of the pilgrim blessing that they will receive at Roncesvalles and elsewhere. PILGRIM BLESSING AND...
