    Shaving,......probably more for the men!

    https://g.co/kgs/2Jd1XfN Top barber shop in Astorga that I had the pleasure of frequenting back in 2015. About a 5 mins walk from the Cathedral. I believe the owners son now runs things. If walking the CF you will be well ready for a shave and cut by the time you get to Astorga……...

    Returning & Friendships

    I have long pondered the nature of friendships forged on the Camino and am leaning toward describing them as akin to short lived ‘ephemeral plants’. In gardening parlance,true to their name, spring flowering ephemerals are plants that the growth/flourish and bloom cycle lasts only a brief...

    Has anyone had a haircut on the Camino?

    I've got to give a big shout out here for the BEST Barber on the Camino ! If you are ever in Astorga just about a 5 minute walk from Albergue San Javier you'll find Pedro Andrés. A proper old school barber for haircuts, head shaves, beard trims , he's your only man. Granted he didn't have much...

    Spirit of the Camino

    Just beautiful ! Many thanks for sharing Peter. I believe our paths crossed briefly on the Camino in May this year. I have been suffering from a severe case of 'post Camino blues' since I returned home but your beautiful video has truly shaken them off !! Many thanks again. Peter from Dublin :)

    How do people find time to do the Camino

    I have a regular Mon-Fri (modestly paid !!) job but am fortunate to live in Ireland so have easy access to the Camino (one 2 hour flight !). This May I will return to the Camino Frances for the 3rd time.In 2011 I spent 16 days walking(and 20 days in total) from Astorga to Santiago and then...

    Start of my Cancer Camino

    Dear Gitti, I can't think of a more appropriate place for you to share your news than with your kind hearted fellow peregrinos on this good Forum. My dear old Mum had many lovely old Irish sayings and one that always stuck with me was : 'God never sends you down a rocky path unless he's...

    This is my Church.

    A Chara, We are indeed truly blessed.When the sunshines on this Emerald Isle of ours sure you wouldn't want to be anywhere else (well apart from the Camino !!) Blue skies , a firm sod and maybe another All Ireland for the Banner !! Great to hear that you are up and motorin' again. Rgds...

    Gathering; Places of Rest

    On a beautiful Sunday morning I stopped to rest at a bench and picnic table in the shade of some trees in the sleepy village square in Villamayor. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted some swings and well you know how it is ...one thing led to another and rest turned to play !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    When is the pilgrim traffic the Highest?

    Hi Noto, I walked from St JPP to Belorado earlier this year (2013) from May 15th to May 26th and it was very busy.When I enquired many Hospitaleros confirmed that the month of May was as busy if not busier than the summer months !! If travelling alone you will have many fellow peregrinos for...

    You know you're a pilgrim(or soon to be) when...

    You know you are a pilgrim when........... you are back home and while walking to work each morning you say to yourself 'oh today is Tuesday and it was on a Tuesday that I walked from Estella to Los Arcos or Astorga to Rabanal ........ you find it impossible to look back over your Camino...
