    Pre Camino Nerves

    Think about everything or think about nothing, it makes a nice change from the drudgery of day to day life. Enjoy the journey, may find you head back each year to recalibrate the mind on what is really important in life.

    Why did you do the camino? Help me out!

    Day to day life(work, TV, mortgages, consumerism, bills, etc) for most is one of drudgery......the Camino provides an escape from the drudgery where you can think about everything or absolutely nothing on a historical/spiritual path while interacting with humans in their mostly natural...

    Musical instruments on the Camino.

    Bring it along with you........music is international, adds to the mood and would be welcomed by many Pilgrims relaxing after a days walk. Just no Taylor Swift, James Blunt or Ed Sherrin........more Leonard Cohen, Roy Orbison, Warren Zevon, etc

    Cross in the forest after Ponte de Lima September 2019, a warm day and the first beer at the bar on left a bit further along before the next town was very much appreciated.

    Has any pilgrim decided to move to Spain?

    Go for it, jumping off the hamster wheel that most people are on in their daily lives and experiencing something totally different is good for the soul. Just be flexible, Spain is different to where you call home currently.

    My pet-peeve: Selfies

    “Ten short years ago, nobody had ever heard of a selfie. But today every decent cell phone has not one but two cameras, so you can take idiotic duck face pictures.

    Little oasis on the path in the woods outside Pontevendra, nice place to stop and relax, the host right into the spirit of the Camino. Photo of a couple of Pilgrims with her, September 2019.
