    Which camino in January

    You would not be thinking of Camino de Madrid then as it is a solitary route. I suggest the Camino Frances, 2 weeks out of Santiago. Good luck, Lirsy!

    Eating in Roncesvalles

    You can have an early breakfast at Burguete as suggested. The one at the Plaza would be a good place to have a hearty meal.

    dreadful walk,awful people,

    Yeah I agree with the OP.. There is so much attraction and hype about walking the Camino. I don't know why people bother to suffer the long trek, blisters, the cramped spaces in albergues, the roncadores, the heat and all the inconvenience. And I most certainly cannot comprehend why I have just...

    Buying a Rosary in Santiago

    I bought a few good ones but that was in Samos Monastery whilst waiting for their guided tour to commence. Sorry, it's not relevant to you Robo now that you're almost in SdC.

    What do you talk about..or not on your Camino?

    It all depends what type of people happen to be in the group. There are some who tend to ask you personal questions within a few minutes of the usual greeting (Hola and or Buen Camino) whilst others are more respectful and tend not to ask about things you wouldn't tell an acquaintance. When I...

    What do you talk about..or not on your Camino?

    Hi Camino Deb, just wondering what you'll be when you (happen to) finish a bottle of Tinto that goes with your Menu del Dia/Peregrino in September?

    What do you talk about..or not on your Camino?

    Judy, how about the flag of Texas instead? It looks nice and would make a good conversation starter. A month ago, I happened to walk past a dozen or so pilgrims on the CP with big flags on their backpacks. Curious, I asked what country they were from. Aland Islands, I was told, is an autonomous...

    Favorite camino

    The Camino Frances! Nice wide open spaces and quaint little towns with kind people everywhere. Oh well, the Camino Portugues, too! Except for the stretch of roadside walking at Pedra Furada where you need to duck and weave from speeding cars.

    What do you talk about..or not on your Camino?

    I share the sentiments of the few here. Being an introvert, I prefer to stay quiet when in company of strangers and will only open up when I hear sincerity. Probing questions and senseless chatter from someone I don't know from Adam will be answered with a smile, not a word. I might say Buen...

    Can you get a compostela if you didn't walk the last leg?

    NICE! Very nice, Miguel.

    Can you get a compostela if you didn't walk the last leg?

    It would be good for those who do not want to receive a Compostela to specify to the Pilgrim's office volunteers that he/she only wants to get the certificate of completion. I, on the other hand, did my first Camino and the second one next week to get a Compostela. Peace!

    Can you get a compostela if you didn't walk the last leg?

    Thanks for the clarification, Johnnie Walker. Much appreciated.

    Do I need treatment for a forum addiction?

    Paul, no therapy required. You'll have to just feed the addiction! Or you'll find yourself suffering from withdrawal symptoms...Buen Camino

    Forum Patch

    For my second Camino (in ten days) I used Velcro to attach my "I walked the Camino Frances" patch (thanks Ivar). It surprised me as it bonded strongly to the fabric of my new and smaller Osprey 38L. Didn't have to use needle and thread. Remains to be seen how it stacks up though. Last year I...

    Walking after hip replacement

    You have plenty of time to recover, restrengthen your muscles and get ready for your Camino in September/October, Jim! Enlist the services of a Physiotherapist post surgery. You will be ready by then. All the best.

    Hi Laurie, I remember in another thread Al started that he is embarking on another Camino once again as he is a friend of St. James. Right Al? !Buen Camino!
