    Starting the walk in the afternoon

    I've started 2 Caminos in the afternoon - St Jean to Orisson (came in from Lourdes) and Astorga to Murias de Rechivaldo (!!!) (came in from Madrid). I enjoyed those little stages to help me prepare for the longer days ahead.

    Should we give recommendations on the forum?

    I think we all know the Camino is changing. This thread brought to mind a story one of our pilgrims shared while we were serving as hospitaleras in Canfranc - he said that his first Camino in 2008 was overwhelming, emotional, life changing and wonderful. He said he arrived at the old Pilgrim...

    2023: hospitalero shortage

    We are currently in canfranc pueblo at Elias Valina donativo after having gone through the training in March 2020 in California. It was worth the wait! There is something about opening the door to tired, wet pilgrims (“sorry I smell so bad,” apologized a pilgrim today), and welcoming them to a...

    Creative Ways to Share My Travels with Loved Ones

    I enjoy utilitarian gifts - your thoughts of a bead are very sweet. For my past Caminos, I have asked my sisters for gallon & sandwich plastic bags which I use (& think of them when I use them!) Another friend gave me a big garbage bag which I used as an emergency poncho last year. These things...

    Thoughts on “Santiago - the Camino within”

    Big disappointment for me - it was a repetitive sermon that seemed to have many false endings (to my relief) only to continue on the same path of reiterating the theme. One or two touching moments, the rest was propaganda.

    So why am I addicted to the Camino?

    As a woman who loves backpacking, but afraid to do it alone, I love: -walking safely on my own from village to village -the independence knowing I can carry everything I need on my back -walking and observing the beauty around me - both natural and human-made -seeing people once or time and...

    The Camino: So much to fear - So little to fear.

    I always tell my friends who are going on the camino "It's not like you're going to Antarctica!" You can always find what you need on the Camino.

    What is the nicest thing that anyone has said to you on the camino?

    it was the hug that brought more tears flooding - I was in Carrion de los Condes - my last night on my 14-day camino and was enjoying the camaraderie of the singing nuns and the guests from around the world. I was weeping profusely, so sad to be leaving the following morning, so joyful to be...

    What Unexpected item did you find in your pack when you got home?

    What I didn't find was my poncho! It slipped out of my pack one day after I had used it and just tried to tack it on instead of put it in my pack. As I didn't need it again, I didn't notice it was gone until I got home and unpacked my bag!

    How long did it take for you to get to "de-cluttering" after Camino?

    It took a trip to Cuba during the special period to help me umulate. I decided to have just enough when I returned home - so if I buy a new black top, one from my closet goes to the thrift shop, new hiking shoes? Old ones to the thrift shop. New knife for the kitchen? Old one goes to the...
