I’m so sorry to hear this news. She brought comfort and joy, insight and inspiration to so many people. She will be missed and remembered.

Yes, bring your credencial with all the stamps needed. If you are now considering coming back to get your Compostella at a later date, why not slow down and enjoy what’s left of your Camino and pick it up again where you left off when you return?

Of course you will! Just stay flexible. I know it is a bit out of favor to say that "The Camino will provide," but, in my experience, it truly does. Buen Camino. We are simpatico!!

To your original question: I see no problem with your plan. I usually slept until about 7 (sleep mask, ear plugs) and left the albergue shortly before 8. I would walk about an hour, then stop for breakfast, usually just a coffee and a croissant. I would go on until lunchtime, have lunch, then...

Ronald, I'm soooo sorry it has taken me this long to get back to you. This prayer is from the US Council of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The most prominent place I found it was in association with World Youth Day from 2015. It is a general prayer for pilgrims and was used on World Youth Day to...

Let me see if I can find it. Did you like it?

What a lovely story. Thank you for sharing.

I bought it on Amazon prime video.

The good part of being passed by fellow pilgrims who kindly ask if you are OK, then run into you again and again in the same albergues, is that, eventually, they realize that you are, in fact, one tough cookie.

To the original question: As many have posted, I also go by time walked, not by distance. I usually actually walk about 6 hours, then call it a day. How far I get in those six hours depends on many factors already noted in this thread - terrain, weather, personal conditions, sights along the...

I had never heard of the Camino before stumbling upon this movie when it was first, quietly released in movie theaters oh so many years ago (2011?). No one I knew had ever heard of the Camino, either. Has any movie ever had a bigger impact on my life?? I think not. I rewatch it every few...

I didn't listen to music or podcasts on my Caminos. However, it took some work on my part to get used to walking for such long distances with just my thoughts to keep myself company! Who knew it would be so hard? During my "training walks," I usually used headphones but, as I got closer to the...

I got an portable induction stove top from IKEA about 6 months ago to try it out. It is amazing!! I love it. You have to have the right pans - most pans do work. The controls are pretty standard except there is a lock tab to keep kids from accidentally turning it on. I agree with just finding...

This is your first Camino? Hahaha, get ready to join us “repeat offenders.”

I’m 72 in 2 weeks and thinking about #4, starting in Vezelay, next year.

Welcome to the Forum! Two things to considers: 1. Be aware that your traveling companions will walk at a different pace/speed than you, especially in the beginning. PLEASE agree, at the start, to walk solo if needed, and to meet at points along the way. My sense is that many unnecessary and...

Not quite the same, but . . . Someone stole my pants on the Camino. Don't worry, I got them back.

I love the approach taken by the OP and the comments, including the Mods, reference this question. Because it is such a "touchy" subject, I don't often see openly religious questions brought up, and it was refreshing, especially due to the kindness of the answers. I am Roman Catholic and was...

On my first Camino, I walked for a bit with a peregrina who brought her donkey. Just after Zubiri, the donkey came to its senses and decided it didn’t want to walk any more. She was able to coax the donkey to the nearest town, where she rented a horse trailer and they went home. *sigh* Later...

Unless I misunderstand the meaning of the term, "donativo," I agree that you are doing the right thing by giving what you can. Don't sleep outside, there's no need for it. Sometimes people are just jerks.👅
