    We’re here SJPDP

    So happy for you! I agree that SJPDP is a truly beautiful place to relax and become centered before starting out. Such a sense of being part of a historical spiritual community. I found that lighting a candle and sitting in the simple, beautiful church the night before leaving was deeply...

    Warm clothing for a late April departure?

    Greetings, So happy for you regarding your upcoming Camino! I walked the CF from SJPP beginning late April last year. It was cold and rainy in the Pyrenees, and then cold in the early mornings until the Meseta, where it was hot. Layers, including a long sleeve thermal sweatshirt, worked for me...

    How Important Was It To You To Do "Full" CF ?

    Warm greetings. I met numerous pilgrims on the CF that were doing the Camino in stages over years during their vacation times. Their comments were typically that each time they re-started they experienced a fresh sense of the pilgrimage. I was very grateful, however, for the grace given to...
