    Cafe con Leche / Coffee on the Camino: Enquiring Coffee Lovers want to know!!

    I've been drinking 2 or 3 cups of coffee a day my whole life but for years I couldn't find any that I really liked anymore. Until the camino! I did the Portuguese 2 years ago and I love the meia de leite in Portugal even more than the café con leche in Spain. Back home I bought a coffee...

    The queues in Santiago

    Okay, that last line makes me wonder: Does clicking the 'Send' (or 'Alta individual' or 'Create a group') button get you a QR-code and number just like the QR-code and number you get at the Pilgrim's office to line up for a Compostela? If not, why would you have to be in Santiago already to send...

    Credential: first stamp and starting date

    I have a Portuguese credential with a first page for personal details + starting place + starting date. The second page (first page for the stamps) has place for the first stamp + date.

    Credential: first stamp and starting date

    I will be in Porto the day before I start walking the Camino Portugues. I already ordered my credential online but of course I will have to get my first stamp from the Cathedral in Porto. If I get my stamp the afternoon/evening before I start walking, does that mean that date will be put in my...

    Spiritual, Religious, or ??

    Can I ask you something else? There's the digital form on the Pelgrim's office website now. When you click 'register', choose 'single' and select English language you can fill in the form. But then the only option to continue is 'create a group'. When you select Spanish language you can...

    Spiritual, Religious, or ??

    Thank you!

    New digital Credential is introduced from the Cathedral.

    Does anyone know if this digital credential can also be used on the Portugues part of the Camino Portugues? Or only in Spain/Galicia?

    Spiritual, Religious, or ??

    I always read that you had to fill in a form (on paper) at the Pelgrims Office to obtain a Compostella. They would ask for your reasons to walk and the three options where something like: religious, spiritual and other reasons. You would get a Compostella if you walked for religious or spiritual...

    The queues in Santiago

    Several websites, including the official site of the Pelgrim's office explain getting a numbered ticket with QR code that allows you to see what number they're at. This is the first time though I find out that apparently you cannot get a numbered ticket anymore before you have completed an...

    Celebrate the Menú del Dia!

    This menu looks good, lot of variety! And I'm definitely not complaining about the price of the menu's.

    Celebrate the Menú del Dia!

    No, they were definitely menu del dia at lunchtime (poster went to supermarket for small dinner later in the day).

    Celebrate the Menú del Dia!

    I've seen some you tube video's from menu del dia's on the camino and it looked like the main was always something like chicken or cod with fries. No problem with meat or fish with fries, but every day? Would love to try the local specialties but I think you have to order from the carta then?

    Celebrate the Menú del Dia!

    But the topic starter just said the menu del dia is much better than de menu peregrino 🤔 Or is Pilgrim Menu not the same as menu peregrino?

    Celebrate the Menú del Dia!

    I haven't walked the camino yet, so the difference is not very clear to me. From what I understand the Menu del Dia is originally for the Spaniards themselves, but of course everyone can order them, including pilgrims. Served at lunch time. Pilgrim Menu is 'invented' for the pilgrims because...

    Post a picture of your credential!

    That is what I meant as well: when you need more then 1 credential for 1 camino.

    Post a picture of your credential!

    How do you use the 6 credencials (or in general: more than one credential) if you want to get a distance certificate at the end? Do you simply collect your next sellos in an empty new credential? Or do you need the same sello on the first page of a new credential as is on the last page of the...

    What would you do?

    You might not want to hear this but volunteering at a children's home might not be in the best interest of those children. Just picked two of the many articles on this subject: https://www.worldnomads.com/responsible-travel/make-a-difference/people/orphanage-visits-more-harmful-than-helpful...

    Taking a number in Santiago.

    In my opinion not having much time in Santiago de Compostela is not the same as 'failure to plan ahead'. Some people can't take many days off work and still want to do a camino. I myself plan to walk from Porto for 15 days, arrive in Santiago in the end of the morning on the 15th day. I'll have...

    Taking a number in Santiago.

    But even without a phone and the possibility to check numbers remotely, you still have some idea of how long things are gonna take. If the estimated waiting time is 4 or 5 hours, at least you know you can go and grab a coffee or lunch somewhere. Come back, check the number and decide to stay or...

    Taking a number in Santiago.

    I have not walked the camino yet, but I think attending the mass in itself and getting the compostela are the main acknowledgement of what you've just accomplished, apart from your personal accomplishment of course. Buen Camino is something you can compare with Bon Appetite. You say it before...
