    The Three Wise Men

    Hi there Can anyone tell me where on the Camino Frances there is a mural on a wall depicting “the three wise men”. I’ve admired it on several occasions, over the years, but I can’t remember where it is. The iconography suggests the nativity with the three wise men being depicted as Albert...

    Musical instruments on the Camino.

    May I introduce “Waltzing Matilda” my beloved traveling guitar. She and I have walked the Frances several times, the Podensis and part of the Francigena. I feel inspired by “As I walked out one midsummer morning “ that beautiful book by Laurie Lee in which he carries his violin wrapped in an...

    e bikes ?

    I would like thank everyone for sharing their thoughts about e-bikes on the camino. You have helped me to clarify my own thinking on the matter. E-bikes are just another sign of changes with time and we will adapt. It is perhaps a mistake to grasp at the past and expect the camino to be as it...

    e bikes ?

    I started this thread in order to hear other people’s thoughts on the use of motorised bicycles on the camino Frances. As I understand it electrically powered bicycles assist the user be adding power proportionately to the users pedalling effort. The majority of e-bikes I am seeing on the...

    Your All Time, Absolute BEST Camino Moment!

    O.K! Three best moments from CF 2017 The first was on the trail from Burguete when I realised that this was now for real. No more false starts or promises this was me on the Camino. I wept and saw the world, literally in a new light. Number two was an early start from Astorga, in the dark with...
