    FindPenguins: tracker or not?

    Looking at your route, it seems like sometimes FP shows a straight line between photos and other times it shows a curvy, more true-to-reality route. I’m wondering if that’s because sometimes tracking was on and sometimes it was off, or because there were more or less checkpoints. Can anyone...

    Enjoying regional wine on the Camino

    Thanks, everyone, for all of the excellent replies. This really helps and I'm looking forward to trying these wines before and during my next Camino. Hopefully, I won't have to resort to ordering my namesake - Calimocho! Has anyone ever tried this stuff? I did --- once.

    Enjoying regional wine on the Camino

    Thanks for this clarification! I think I was looking for Txakoli - I believe I had it once in Barcelona - and received Sidra instead. I was disappointed! Can you help me with the pronunciation of Txakoli, so I can order it sometime?

    Enjoying regional wine on the Camino

    p.s. beer and lemon is called a clara con limón; if you just ask for a clara, you will get beer and a sprite-like mix (lemonade if you are british); and wine and the sprite-like mix is called tinto de verano (not sangría), a life saver in the summer. on that note, we never ask for a sangría at...

    Open and vulnerable vs. closed and protected

    What you describe is very similar to a very powerful experience that I had on the Camino that led to me posting this question. I had a very difficult time sleeping during my Camino, partly because each night I was filled with so much emotion and stimulation that I was still processing what I...

    Open and vulnerable vs. closed and protected

    It occurs to me after doing two segments of the Camino, that if a person is open to new possibilities and experiences and tries not to decide ahead of time what the Camino experience will be like - amazing and unexpected things will arrive, some of which will seem almost magical. The flip side...

    What makes the Camino so magical (to you)?

    I've just returned from a seven-day walk on the Camino and I would say that it was both harder and more magical than my first experience. I tried to be open and curious, but at first, I could only take in a narrow field of vision around me because I was dealing with the physical difficulties...

    If We Had a Traveling Musician....

    Some songs about traveling or going home are: 500 Miles, Home to You (Peasall Sisters), or Miles from Nowhere (Cat Stevens). There are some Irish or Scottish songs with beautiful melodies and interesting stories, such as Wild Mountain Thyme (also called Go Lassie, Go), Star of the County Down...
