Seems to be a lot of people posting about stuff they lost on the Camino recently.
I managed to leave a nice new-ish polo shirt somewhere drying and didn't notice for over a week. I hope someone got use out of it and didn't just throw it out.
I found someone's wallet containing a

I've just completed the Camino Mozarabe from Almeria. My first Camino was the Camino Frances from SJPDP in October 2021.
I don't have a trip report as such. I know people who trip on mushrooms are advised to have no expectations, but secretly they want something to change in their life. Well...
I'd advise people not to get their credential from Salamanca.
At first glance it appear clever, but each box has the name of a stage. If you deviate from their suggested stages, split stages (as i did with today's 35km stage) or double up you'll end up with blank boxes and/or no place for the...
Hey folks.
I started the Mozarabe from Almeria and took time out in Salamanca to do a 3 week Spanish course in USAL.
The course was fine. 4 hours a day. For the first week we had an excellent teacher for the first 2 hours, followed by a practice class of 1 hour that wasn't so great, and an...
9/2 Córdoba city to Cerro Muriano
A day of rain.
First hurdle was a waterlogged path with over a foot of water. Trying to make a path through mounds of mud, i slipped backwards twice and sprained my thumb - and ended up having to walk through the water anyway.
Then a few streams, the second...
I was walking through a small town with an ageing population of over 3000 ppl that marks the end of a (gronze) stage on the mozarabe and, in advance, checked the availability of grocery stores. One small shop opens daily from 10am to 1.30pm.
Obviously, that schedule isn't good for me so I'd...
Anyway.. no damage done unless it gets infected. Pic attached.
I started the Mozarabe from Almeria on Saturday and today (Wednesday), after 25km of walking and about 100m from the albergue Lacho, a stupid woman watched as her 2 stupid dogs ran up to me after I walked past and one bit my leg on...
I'm hoping to start Mozarabe from Almeria mid January. Not sure if I'll walk the full way but i want to be prepared.
I'm used to wearing low hiking boots (shoes). I don't need to worry about ankle support but my main worry is mud above my ankles. I own mid-height boots but over long distances...
Hi all. Im 42m. I did the CF 2 years ago at the beginning of October from st jean pdp. I hadn't done any long distance walking before. I loved the meseta and despite walking into November the weather was mild and dry with maybe 0 degrees in the mornings at times and fairly lucky that it didn't...
Hi. Greetings from Santiago!
I got a lot of advice from this forum so figured I'd contribute my experiences before I continue my journey to Finnesterre.
I'm from Ireland and just completed my first camino - the Camino Frances solo from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago.
Covid restrictions are...
