    Coffee

    #TeamCoil4Ever you gotta do what you gotta do. Some of us need caffeine in order to get up and go find some caffeine! (Also useful for instant oatmeal, couscous, etc.)

    Which month has flowers blooming in the Camino? Is April Rainy?

    Red poppies galore in early May last year and Galicia is full of fragrant yellow toxo bushes in mid and late May, fields of wildflowers too!

    Sundays and public holidays

    It’s never a bad idea to have snacks! If you are hungry for dinner before 7 or 8pm, you might be out of luck in most places. The dry bag strapped to my pack always contained a fresh bread and cheese, plus little packets of condiments. And a banana. And nuts. Buen Camino!

    What about “té con leche”?😀

    Here’s my suggestion to you: in the mornings, ask for “vino tinto” 🤣

    Finding Travel Companion

    Also check out the Camigas Facebook group.

    New mobile confession booths from Sarria

    I love this forum! 🤣

    Ordering beer in Spain

    Ask for “una mil nueve” which doesn’t actually mean 1009 beers, although some days you might think you could slurp them all down!

    The Way 2 - Characters

    What about the hospitalera who never got a chance to walk, or the Roma boy who stole the backpack?

    Daily stamps

    Wherever you stay in Sarria will give you the first stamp (La Casona de Sarria will put the next day’s date on it if you are starting out early). Last May, there was a kind lady with a table set up in the woods before you get to Barbadelo that offered stamps. Next opportunity is at the private...

    Sello (stamp) Obsession: Is there a medical term for this?

    The guy in the Pilgrim Office unfolded my credencialES and smiled and said, “tienes muchos sellos!” 🤦🏼‍♀️ Yep! I remember each one: the bar owner who gave me a free coffee, the chatty old lady who talked my ear off for over half an hour with stories about the tiny town, the kind Venezuelan...

    What's a Slow Walker?

    Me. I’m a slow walker. I *can* walk 5K in an hour on flat land, but on Camino I averaged about 3-4 km/hr. Some days probably even less! Many things to stop and look at (interesting buildings, horses, moss) and bad knees. Say hello when you pass me!
  12. Gringazolana

    A long (winding) road.

    Private rooms availability?

    I did Sarria to Santiago in May-June of this year, taking my own sweet time. I stayed in private rooms the whole way, sometimes sharing a bathroom. If you send me a message, I’d be happy to share my itinerary or any other details!

    They still ride horses, don't they?

    I thought it was pretty cool that it was a free albergue! And it was around 5-10km from Santiago too. I also had seen a few days earlier some peregrinos’ horses casually munching grass in the center of Palas de Rei. This was on about May 30th of this year. I know there were horses that had gone...

    What I lost on the Camino

    I remember I was a day behind you and looked everywhere for Paco, with no luck. I’m sure a child acquired a beloved new little donkey that day! Buen Camino, Paco!! 🫏

    Woman Traveling solo

    I used it for the profile maps (to plan shorter days when I knew my knee was going to complain more); recommendations and WhatsApp numbers for albergues; looking at photos of the different sections; and the miscellaneous info under the Loro section. I also used two apps: Wise Pilgrim (the...

    Woman Traveling solo

    I walked alone a couple months ago and loved it! The Camino will provide you with people if you need them, solitude if you prefer. I booked ahead the first few days and did short stages because I wasn’t sure how the walking would be. After I got to Spain, then I booked ahead a few nights. That...

    Request for pics of menus on CF!

    This is hilarious 🤣

    Request for pics of menus on CF!

    I recommend Sarasate in Pamplona, even for non-vegans. Food is delicious!! I had squash “meatballs” yummmmmm
