    Francés vs Via de la Plata vs Camino de madrid

    I have walked all three. Walking in April May and having 2 months would suggest the VDLP as a good option for you as it is 1,000 km. It it much less crowded than Frances. A more intimate Camino, Requiring 6 weeks or so leaving you time for Finisterre. Madrid is even more solitary and only about...

    Looking for a *good* online map/image that shows *all* the camino routes in Spain

    I’ve been using an online gos map from a Dutch group for several years that overlays onto map apps such as Maps.me and can be used offline I have used it on many Caminos including all the majors and lesser walked routes such as del Vasco, de Madrid, Aragones, Spiritual Variant, Invierno...

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    Invierno, Aragones, English , or outside of Spain; Via Piodensis in France, Via Francigena or Via Francesco in Italy, or 88 Temple in Japan. Comparisons of most of these to Camino Frances at How Other Pilgrimages compare to Camino Frances

    Origins of pilgrimage

    The first paragraph of your link sums up “pilgrimage” definition pretty well I think: “A pilgrimage is a devotional practice consisting of a prolonged journey, often undertaken on foot or on horseback, toward a specific destination of significance. It is an inherently transient experience...

    The Quest To Walk 50K In A Day

    I felt ok. I did take a rest day bit only because I wanted to visit with Mincho and the Albergue Verde family. The day afterwards leaving I felt sluggish but had another grand day that might interest you; http://globalpilgrim.net/the-return-of-my-irish-angel/#respond

    The Quest To Walk 50K In A Day

    The 50K was unusual for me. It just happened. Lately I prefer a slower pace say 20-25K. Buen Camino!

    The Kindness and Hospitality of the Hospitaleros along the Camino de Santiago

    Early in the new year is a time of reflection. With many of us dreaming of our first or next Camino later this year, I was thinking of the many hospitalero volunteers who strive to make our pilgrim experience comfortable. Some help to make it special. A big thank you to all of them. This is a...

    Wow. I would stop well before sunset for some vino tinto and would not start back up.😊

    The Quest To Walk 50K In A Day

    Well anything is possible and The Meseta does seem like the place where people walk further. Why not.😊🙏

    The Quest To Walk 50K In A Day

    For those who think 10K is too short of a day and 30K is too long of a day on The Camino. My experience suggests there is no right or wrong distance. It is all about connecting with The Camino and walking the distance that is right for you on any individual day. I normally walked 25-30K on my...

    El Camino de 8 Compostelas- The Way of 8 Certificates

    No I have typically started from outside Spain or Irun and Seville. I’ve walked santiago to Finisterre and Muxia 5 times I think. But you are walking 117K starting in Muxia so no reason at all why they would not give you a Compostela.
