    Not everyone happy about pilgrim/tourist pressure.

    Every pilgrim is a tourist while many tourists might be pilgrims. The term pilgrim is not exclusively reserved for walkers. Even bus tourists can be pilgrims. 😲

    National passport in card form

    Mmmh … in Germany we are using passport and id-card for identification. The passport comes in a small booklet with several blank pages. The id-card looks like a mini-passport with all the necessary personal data, but has no booklet for e.g. visa or stamps. My id-card is valid for identification...

    What book defines 'off stage'?

    Hi Jeanine, on your next camino watch out for german speaking pilgrims. They generally use either the “yellow outdoor guide“ or the “red Rother guide“. French pilgrims might use the Miam Miam Dodo etc.

    Tradition…. When to start wearing your scallop shell?

    I carry my scallop shell from the first day. Even when I walk a different pilgrim‘s way (non-St. James-Way, e.g. St. Olavs way or any other pilgrims way) I‘m wearing a scallop shell as general pilgrim‘s sign.

    Can you Jack Reacher the Camino??

    The manufacturing of 500€ notes has been ceased in early 2019. They will no longer be issued by the national banks. Reason for that is fighting corruption and money-laundering. What you may find are still circulating notes in the people’s pockets, which remain valid as legal tender. Officially...

    Rebekah Scott interview in Church Times

    I could read the interview without being a subscriber. You have three choices … - subscribe now - sign in/register - continue to article. I pressed the latter option and the interview was free to read. One question occurred to me … At the end of the interview it says “Rebekah Scott OSB“. I...

    Not what I expected!

    It‘s a pity so many non-firsttimers revealed what they were surprised of on their caminos. Now, as you know about all their surprising experiences there’s (almost) nothing left for you you might explore yourself. I‘m afraid your Camino might get boring. 😄

    Historical arrival numbers

    Hi Mananath, this german website provides pilgrim numbers since 1989 until today. It shows total numbers of all caminos or separated by each camino, nationalities, gender, age etc. Years marked by a star are holy years. The numbers are based on the official statistics of the pilgrim‘s office...

    Bathtubs and Other Essentials While on the Camino!

    Bathtubs are not essential on a camino. They are pure luxury. Taking a hot shower 🚿 is well enough. And more oecologic.

    How fast do you walk on the Camino?

    I walk at my speed (slow). It might be completely different from other walkers. Most walkers overtake me and sometimes I overtake other walkers. But I don’t care …

    Casa Fernanda is booked the day we want to stay!

    Hi Jackie, why don’t you try and arrange your stages so as to stay at Fernanda‘s a day before or after your planned date? May be she has space on those days. Um bom caminho Ove

    Bring mayonnaise

    Why not dripping a bit of olive oil onto the bread? It‘s available in any retaurant/bar and very tasty. And even more healthy than mayonnaise … 😉

    Bus between Santiago - Fisterra - Muxia - Santiago

    Hi Craig, despite all the recommendations for a bus transfer I would recommend you to … walk. If you are a slow walker Santiago - Finisterre can be done in 4 days, Finisterre - Muxia in 2 days. In case you are very fit now after your camino you can do SdC - Finisterre - Muxia in 4 days...

    Why do we walk?

    We walk, because ... we are made for. God gave us legs and feet. If we were made for flying, he‘d given us wings to fly.
