    The Camino will provide?

    I'm 73 now. We have time (we don't have a LOT of time but, well, you know what I mean!). Simply that we are not on a tight schedule when we are walking. We've walked 3 times, 2 French, one a partial, disastrous Portuguese misadventure, giving ourselves 40-50 days each time and not worrying about...

    Injury that ended Camino

    We both were very sick when we got to Pamplona, April '22. I became sick first. I was in a top bunk in Roncesvalles monastery and the person just over the divider was coughing all night. I think that's where the crime occurred. We were laid up in Pamplona for 5 days, thought we had Covid. We...

    Injury that ended Camino

    I just wanted to add some information that may be of interest to what I originally wrote above. We left on our journey on March 12th and were to return home on April 23rd. Most of our trip had nothing to do with walking a path. When we were to leave Santiago in early April we did not have firm...

    Injury that ended Camino

    We're so sorry to hear of your experience. We talked about how much worse it could have been for us had this happened in a more remote setting. From beginning to end we had services to move and treat us; it was expensive, a hassle but doable. You were in a dangerous place being injured, alone...

    Injury that ended Camino

    I remember your story and actually thought about you in the middle of our travails. I think we were pushing it all, injury or not. I'm 73 and Karen, my partner is 77. Maybe it's our last full Camino. Thanks for sympathy from a person who really knows!!

    Injury that ended Camino

    I and my Partner set out from Porto March 16th with the intention of reaching Santiago on or about April 1st. We reached Tui, checked into a hotel and went out to dinner. On the way back to the hotel, my partner slipped on the sidewalk and twisted her ankle. We limped back to the hotel and, next...

    Food on the Camino, what do you miss?

    I miss the french fries. Do you know that when you are on the Way, you don't even have to ask for them; they just give them to you!!

    Long days and double stages

    Yes, I just got back from a Camino and when people ask how much I walked i've answered '@ 975,000 steps'. That gets some odd looks!

    Long days and double stages

    I've had this discussion about 'how fast' in forums centered on bicycle touring. 'Yeah, I did the Trans America in 32 days' or 'I did the Pacific Coast Bike Route (Vancouver BC - Mexicali) in 17 days'. My response then was the same I would give now. In all likelihood this is the ONE time you are...

    What's the thing with pilgrims and scenic detours?

    This isn't really a "detour" but did you know that the oldest DNA has been found from the remains of an individual living 400,000 years ago . . . and that the cave they were found in lies just about on the Frances route in the Atapurca mountains near Burgos? Also there appears to be an excellent...
