    Memory lane

    My first Camino was also 8 years ago this month. But we left SJPdP on May 6th. I was with my 20 & 21 year old daughters. I wanted to be the first person to take them to Europe and this is what I chose that we would do. We will never forget it. It was a wonderful time. And to this day we still...

    Camino etiquette - passing others on less-busy caminos

    I love your reply. I would do the same. Just be organic, authentic and then "read the room". I hope I meet you on the trail Anhalter because I'd welcome a "want to walk together for a while?"

    4-week experience of being a Hospitalero

    I try to not form an opinion about other's actions based on how I would act. And...I would love to hear stories during your 4 week volunteer time of where you saw examples of kindness, love and/or sacrifice of pilgrims.

    Lost & Found Lost bag in Apuila!!!!

    Have you spoken to the local police? There’s always the chance a Good Samaritan turned it in to them.

    Any advice for when you want to quit?

    Whether you finish the Camino or don’t, I challenge you to stop for a minute, look around and say, “I’m in Spain!” Take it all in. You are becoming an intimate part of this country by walking through its woods, streams, little towns with unique and often incredible churches. some people walk the...

    Social anxiety

    There’s a saying… in our 20s we worry about what people are saying about us — in our 40s we don’t care what anyone is saying about us — and in our 60s we realize no one was saying anything about us. Just have fun - no one will force you to join in and very unlikely anyone would think you’re “weird”.

    Not what I expected!

    Great question...hence all your responses! I was surprised that on some days I thought, "What the heck am I doing? I could be on a beach right now sipping a Pina colada!" -- but that usually only happened when the hill was really steep! Ha-ha. You'll have a great time and it's definitely a...

    Stuck in Spain

    Stuck?? I'm thinking you GET TO STAY in Spain!! lol There are a few islands off of Barcelona you could visit: Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza.

    Well...heres your sign.

    Perhaps a sign for you to return to the Camino. I never thought about going to Spain...it wasn't on my "list". But then I went on the Camino Frances and walked all those lovely steps on back roads and in the middle of nowhere and now I feel like I know Spain - like it's another home for me...

    Non-EU immigration - Madrid airport.

    The reason I stayed in Ireland 1 night was to help with jet lag and because the timing for the Ryanair flight out and my United flight in was 1 day difference. Ryan air only flies to Biarritz certain days (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays). I'm waiting to see when the restrictions are lifted. I...

    Non-EU immigration - Madrid airport.

    No problem. The name of the hotel I stayed at in Dublin was Crowne Plaza Dublin Airport. It was clean and inexpensive with restaurant and a bus stops nearby to take you to downtown. When are you thinking of going? Buen Camino!

    Non-EU immigration - Madrid airport.

    The Ryanair flight had mostly pilgrams (you could tell because of how they were dressed and the backpacks) and most of them carried on their packs. I made friends with a few pilgrams in the airport and saw them many times throughout the walk.

    Non-EU immigration - Madrid airport.

    I did have a one way ticket back from SDC to Dublin used Iberia air and it went through Madrid airport with a quick layover...again cost was about $100. Yep...I had a round trip ticket to Dublin from Pitts. On my way back I also stayed one night in Dublin in a hotel by airport which had free...

    Non-EU immigration - Madrid airport.

    I flew from Pitts to Newark and then straight to Dublin. I stayed one day and explored Dublin and the next day I flew from Dublin on Ryanair straight to Biarritz FR (flight was about 1 hour). I used taxi service Express Bourricot that took me from airport straight to SJPP (taxi ride was about 40...

    Eve: Where are you flying from? The states?

    Non-EU immigration - Madrid airport.

    Agree with this. Dublin was always a great experience for me. The person checking your passport was always in a good mood...even funny.
