    Sello (stamp) Obsession: Is there a medical term for this?

    I agree! My credentials are a wonderful walk down memory lane!

    How often do you take a break?

    I schedule rest days or very short days (10-12km) to have time in interesting towns/cities but roughly every 10-14 days. I usually stay in a private room those days. Regenerates my energy and motivation.

    2 stamps per day Camino de Invierno

    Thank you Peter, yes 3 days more and my regular “happy” meter will read “joyfully happy”. My prayers on this Camino has been answered and I return to Ottawa with a heart full of hope and a deeper faith. Thank you for the kind words, Colette

    2 stamps per day Camino de Invierno

    You walked in summer, at this time (since Oct 31st) very little open except in big towns. It’s off season and two days now there are zero services and sometimes zero people all day. I’m almost done so I’m sure all will work out.

    2 stamps per day Camino de Invierno

    Yes officially it’s 2 sellos/day from the last 100 km given the Compostela is given for only the LAST 100km not for distance. Anyway, I managed more than 2 today.

    2 stamps per day Camino de Invierno

    It’s more that there’s zero establishments between towns on the Invierno so to show a pilgrim is moving along one usually obtains new stamps each day and not from the same town where one slept. C Invierno is very rural. Between Rodeiro and Lalin there are no bars or churches (rarely are any...

    2 stamps per day Camino de Invierno

    TOPIC NOW CLOSED: close to 1700 km from Le Puy (with 2 additional variant routes) + CF to Ponferrada + Camino de Invierno (I’m on the last 100 km of the C de Invierno now). It’s impossible to get 2 stamps per day between Rodiero and Lalin (I got one at the Carpintieras Albergue today upon...

    I arrived in Santiago and didn't see a single pilgrim.

    I normally walk mid I normally walk off seasons (mid October to early April). The Podiensis is a totally different story, sept is bush and you really will enjoy the first month if you reserve ahead (September is a peak season and the French walkers are many). In Roncesvalles 3 nights ago there...

    Great yes check out gronze and looks good alternative to the busy Frances and a chance to dip into a new part of Galicia. Thanks!

    I arrived in Santiago and didn't see a single pilgrim.

    What’s available for accommodation ? At least municipal still open?

    I arrived in Santiago and didn't see a single pilgrim.

    Thanks for the tip as I’m on the Frances in Pamplona after walking the Podiensis, it’s too busy for my liking right now so if albergues are open on the Invierno I may consider that route to Santiago.

    A young girl gave me a euro

    It’s to donate at the cathedral as a prayer. I’ve had it happen on 3 caminos. I speak Spanish and all 3 people asked me specifically to donate it at the cathedral and pray for a person (they gave me their name which I wrote down). What an honour!

    Stuck in Spain

    Good idea….unfortunately they only accept up to age 60 probably due to health insurance costs of >60. But interesting!
