    The Introverted Pilgrim

    I’m one of the ‘innie’ crowd for as well. Always have been. What I know about myself is that I like myself and that I rarely get lonely when I am alone. I do best with lots of alone time because this is what recharges my batteries. I have dealt with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder all...

    Sorry if this has been asked before...

    Kind Ladies and gentlemen, I have just finished reading the entirety of this thread and no where could I find mention of the obvious need to bring one’s own personal botafumeira, solid silver of course. Perhaps you are unaware that the original one in the cathedral in Santiago is only set in...

    Help! Blisters between the small toes?

    Ouch I know these blisters well. My little toes tend to curl and get squashed beneath the 4th toe as I walk. I have had great relief with Injinji brand toe socks. I wear them as liners. They are thin breathable ”gloves” for your feet that protect by providing friction barriers between your toes...

    I would only be willing to try that if someone can tell me that Spain has a 911 emergency system along with someone proficient in the use of the Jaws of Life rescue tool. And Jeff, no need to worry about your BP rising but you may experience some burning pain in your eyes if you catch site of...

    Thanks to all for the tips and personal stories. Just to be clear, my original question was about commonly expected behavior while living in the Camino community. And whether a robe would be prudent. Personally I have no problem seeing people of any gender sans clothing and I can live with...

    Shower etiquette dressing space

    Hello TWH I just read your treatise on the typical shower toilet facilities along El Camino. If I had only a vague idea of what to expect before, I now have a very specific and concise picture of what awaits me as a pilgrim in Spain. And the most valuable points I gleaned from it are these...

    Shower etiquette dressing space

    Thanks Delphinoula Last week purchased 3 pareos, or sarongs, because they were very inexpensive and pretty at that. I was planning to use the fabric to make some shirts, but I will save one. I just need to decide which of the 3 to bring with me.

    Shower etiquette dressing space

    So.,,What’s the story on typical showers along the Camino. Are there separate spaces for men and women? Big open embarrassing high school style shower rooms? Huge luxurious, marble tiled, duel head spa-like spaces? Summer cabin phone booth sized caves with a funky plastic curtain with a flamingo...

    Food pictures needed

    This is a garbanzo bean soup. It was served in the western part of Spain. My brother and sister in law did a slide presentation on their Camino when they got home. It was for a bunch of dieticians. Bro told me they had a million questions about the food. This was the best photo they took but...

    Food pictures needed

    Hi Just yesterday my brother was showing me some photos of his Camino walk. He went with his wife a couple years ago. There at the end of the long line of castles, flowers, landscapes and cows was an entire section of the foods they ate. Some were great photos some notso much. Seafood meats...
