    A New Way To Walk The Camino

    You are right...and that would be my last descend at least on this Earth! (I dont cound descending into Hell because, again as per my usual cynical disposition, I strongly believe I am already there ;)) I could also mention that thinking on it - the last thing that would cross my mind would be...

    A New Way To Walk The Camino

    and here I thought this was an invitation to walk THE WHOLE CAMINO backwards (I.e. not SdC --> SJPdP but actually with your back towards the destination) With all Respect Due to many people who do not think like me, I do not prescribe to anything AI-related for with my usual cynical trust in...

    LIVE from the Camino Account of a very challenging day SJPdP to Roncesvalles (crazy weather)

    It is harder for vegetarians no doubt but you will figure it out while walking Some menus del dia and Peregrinos do offer some non meat dishes; pasta being most often You also might have to rely more heavily on stores and supermarkets to carry your own provisions but all in all you will be OK!

    LIVE from the Camino Account of a very challenging day SJPdP to Roncesvalles (crazy weather)

    Re the last 3 posts. It is hard to play facts with history when we can only guess certain things and try as we may chances are we will never fully know the "real truth ". That said to my best knowledge there is absolutely nothing that connects Charlemagne to The Camino. The relics were...

    Confused over date format

    I was going to suggest the same but @Pafayac beat me to it. If you see anything like 2024-13-xx or xx-13-2024 you darn well know what that date is overall. I remember when long time ago some folks were really "fancy" and they would do months in Roman numerals; some in their letters, diaries and...

    Partially unplugging from the world

    One more to add to many opinions/stories above. I used airplane mode when I walked. My Buen Camino and FindPenguins aps track offline and were "there" when I needed them. Everyone at work knew where I was and what I was doing and nobody bothered me (and even if they did chances were slim to none...

    @garlicbread Hola Peregrina Glad you perceivered through a pretty hard day. I am sure you realize by now that Camino is full of unexpected surprises and are also learning to take them in stride By now hopefully you are over Alto Perdon and (also hopefully) perhaps took a detour to Santa María...

    Ummm...not according to @Monasp who cites Codex Calistinus nonetheless Post in thread 'They are recommending the Valcarlos route tomorrow, how foolish would it be to go Napoleon?'...

    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    Semantics my friend, mere Semantics :)

    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    I beg to disagree. A "holiday" is a non-US word meaning "vacation" ;)🤣🤣

    Finishing my Camino and feeling incomplete.

    I think it's safe to say that most of us (if not all of us) feel a bit overwhelmed when we finish our Caminos. I bet even the most hardened Veterans still get a small pang of "can't believe it is done"... Camino gets undet your skin; it grabs a hold if you and does not let go. By all means start...

    Camino Francés favorites not in albergues?

    Said it before will say it again (over and over and over I keep going over the food I knew.... hmmm. could be a song... :rolleyes: ) El Chiringuito del Camino in Frómista! The BEST Darn Iberian Ribs on the whole walk (just look at the photos on TripAdvisor!!!!!!)

    How many stamps?

    I got into a habit of getting at least 2 per day almost from the get-go. Not because of some 'requirement' but somewhat just because and somewhat to get myself into that habit so when i did get to Sarria - I didn't even had to think about it. One day I did go ape-nvts (thats Roman for those who...

    Water, water...

    Hello Ifr you are an avid hiker who usually carried 2L then by all means carry 2L. I actually had a 3L bladder, probably filled it up maybe 4-5 times but any other times it was 3/4 full. Within reasons there is plenty of water sources on Frances but I am of a mind that I much rather carry an...

    The final few kms

    Chrissy - no problem! we just need to put the copy of the same statue on the Muxia path! 😁

    The final few kms

    ...and to some extent one can just follow the crowd of other pilgrims... ... I think I mentioned this on another thread: At the "big SdC sign" I ran into 3 Pilgrims whom I met in Orisson, then walked with for about a week before separation. After joyful reunion we walked to the cathedral...

    The one thing I should have done before I left for the Camino

    ..... WOW! :oops: With all Respect Due - I think I will go with what @Paladina said.... And that said - Put your water heater on vacation mode. Put your refrigerator(s) on vacation mode. Shut off the thermostat/HVAC, then put it in vacation mode. I'm not doing this either because they will...
