    The queues in Santiago

    Me too 😇

    Should I ...?

    If I may, you would have a degree of certainty with the van which might just give more opportunity than an unknown COVID situation in the near future? Whatever you decide,,,,,,,, Buen (peace of mind) Camino

    What is the nicest thing that anyone has said to you on the camino?

    I all but cried when he said that to me. I don’t know why though. Perhaps the right words at the right time ?

    What will the 'new normal' be like?

    Lots of interesting thoughts in this thread. My thought is that the “new normal” will be the old normal with different set of requirements and expectations of our host country put upon us. Buen (acceptance of change) Camino

    Do top bunks stop bed bugs?

    Sorry Bill, I don‘t know the name of that spray. If you can’t find it, may I suggest a mini-flamethrower. 😂

    How do you train for the Camino?

    There will always be threads about pre-Camino training and it’s understandable there will continue to be as more people tackle their first Camino. I’d like to offer two thoughts. 1. I believe you can’t train to walk a Camino, for they are all different. The best we can hope to do is to be in a...

    Input for Rewilding Business

    I think I understand what you are aiming for. I'm not sure though that the answer I am about to post will advance the discussion - but you're getting it anyway😂 THIS POST IS NOT A POLITICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT. It is merely a reply to a pilgrim's request for our thoughts. For me...

    Which camino fits to my criteria?

    Hello Lena, Welcome to the forum. I don't have a particular Camino suggestion to offer in answer to your post. I only wanted to say that perhaps there is section of the 3 Caminos you have already walked that meets your needs? Buen (satisfying) Camino

    If you were to choose your Camino based on the food?

    As much as I have enjoyed sampling the food in different countries across the world over many years, I still believe the most important meal is breakfast. That's why I wish there were Camino routes in Scotland and Ireland. No finer way to start a walking day than with a full Scottish or Irish...

    Carrying a tent through airport control

    Albert, Given you will need to "check" your baggage on your return flight, I wonder if it would be less expensive to buy a cheap tent in Portugal you could leave behind/donate? Edit: On the other hand if you are required to check in all baggage after all, it's cheaper to take your tent anyway😂

    Please. . Consider identifying a picture location when posting pictures to the Media section.

    I expect there are many tables on Camino routes like the ones you and I found. I came across that particular table on the Camino Primitvo in 2015. It was tucked away under some shrubs on the way from Ferreira to Melide.

    Poll Where do you come from?

    Very late to this little party. I'm from the land where all gods should be born, where Princesses ride unicorns, where rainbow bridges take you home, where stars exist only to light your night, where flowers break through stones, where dreams are made in your waking hours, where nightmares...

    How many Protestants are on the Camino de Santiago?

    Hello SYates, We've spoken beforehand and pretty much understood each other. This time, with this particular post of yours, I'm confused. Have I missed something in your post? I'm not sure I understand the question, nor indeed, the point you are making, or asking for discussion. Protestant...

    Then again, there are Camino photos such as this that are too special to name😂
