    Pilgrim passport in Canada?

  2. Martin 888

    Pilgrim passport in Canada?

    Two places immediately spring to mind. First is The Canadian Company of Pilgrims, a national organization with a strong BC chapter that you should join anyway…..they have the rights to issue you a Canadian version of the CdS credential already kitted out with your name etc. Second, to get the...

    That recipe - which one is yours?

    Thread 'Chuletitas de Cordero' https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/chuletitas-de-cordero.69412/ I posted this thread a while ago……favourite, favourite food from the trail recreated at home!

    One Day Walk out of Santiago ?

    Last year with a spare day in Santiago, I took a cab early down to Padron and walked back to Santiago along the last stage of the Portuguese. Even though I’ve already walked the whole Portuguese, the last stage is a terrific walk and well worth repeating….way preferable to the last stage of the...

    Soft tips for new walkers

    5…..No matter how desperate you are for a cafe con leche, sustenance, the loo, whatever….. remember that the first cafe/bar that you come across in a village or small town is often way from being the best…..be patient!

    What to do with three weeks after Santiago?

    Take a look at the Picos de Europa National Park in Asturias! 6000ft ’Tolkeinesque’ mountains and valleys also the wonderful northern coast near by where the picturesque Sella River runs into the sea. Centre your search on the beautiful small town of Cangas de Onís in the centre of the park……a...

    Padron Peppers

    They are more widely called shishito peppers……you may have more luck searching for them using that name.

    Graffiti - CYMRU AM BYTH

    Bad but maybe not as bad as the idiot who scrawled ‘Micheal Jackson’ across a number of walls in large black letters along the Camino Frances a couple of years ago……leave no trace !

    Camino Webcams

    Does anybody know what has happened to the web links to the various webcams on the trail. With the exception of the webcam at the wine fountain at Irache (controlled by the Bodega), which is still working, the rest of the links to cams in O’Cebreiro, Portomarin, San Marcos and several in...

    Compostela from Santiago, encompassing walk to Muxia/Finisterre

    With respect Trecile, you may have ‘quoted’ the official text from the Pilgrim Office but you have still interpreted its meaning. It is poorly written and not clear about the requirements for those who walk more than 100kms. What is more relevant to me is what actually happens in practice. In...

    Compostela from Santiago, encompassing walk to Muxia/Finisterre

    Thanks for clarifying Trecile. However, I don’t agree with your interpretation of the rules so we’ll just have to agree to differ in the subject. For those who have walked more than 100kms, can you really imagine a volunteer in the pilgrim office counting back stamps from Sarria or Tui or other...

    Compostela from Santiago, encompassing walk to Muxia/Finisterre

    You’ll voluntarily be getting way more than one stamp per day……it’s so much fun! Buen Camino !

    Compostela from Santiago, encompassing walk to Muxia/Finisterre

    Hi there…..there is often confusion over this subject. If you are walking the last 100kms or so only (the minimum to qualify for a Compostela certificate) then you must obtain a minimum of two stamps ( sellos) per day. However, if you are walking further like from SJPdP on the Frances, Porto or...

    Compostela from Santiago, encompassing walk to Muxia/Finisterre

    There are essentially two documents. The first is your compostela which is the official certificate of completion, issued free by the pilgrim office upon satisfactory review of your completed credential/s. This makes no mention of distance. The second document is a distance certificate which is...

    Where do ( did ) you walk ( locally ) in 2023?

    The dramatic, wild and whacky coastal trails of Newfoundland!

    Wine geeks on Camino

    Hello. A real discovery for me is the vino blanco grape, Godello, grown by a few producers in NW Spain. Yes we all know Verdeho and Albarhino as wines from those grapes are exported all over the world but you won't see Godello wines much, if at all, outside of Spain. If you are walking the...

    Discarded face masks

    Hello from Santiago. I just walked the last stage of the Camino Portuguese today from Padron up to SdC…..quite wonderful. This is a classic Camino stage at 26kms and full of variety, culture, history and beautiful countryside. In my opinion, a way nicer final walk into the city than the Camino...

    Up to Date Podcast

    ‘My Camino the Podcast’ from Dan Mullins in Australia…..every Tuesday without fail…..best one around! You could also try ‘the Camino Cafe’.

    Which Camino would you do next?

    Watching Effren González on Le Chemin du Puy in southern France right now (YouTube)….about the same length as the Frances and finishes in St Jean Pied de Port…..looks idyllic!

    Where do ( did ) you walk ( locally ) in 2022?

    Sunset walking on Clam Beach, Nova Scotia a couple of days ago. Don’t be fooled by the warm glow, it was freezing !
