    Is it okay to want to walk the Frances alone?

    Some of my favorite moments of the Camino (and all of my pilgrimages, really) are the solitary moments to reflect, dream, and talk (to myself and God).

    Why do my feet hurt? Metatarsal tales

    Coming into this late, so apologies if you have already considered this, but I often have similar pain. On the Appalachian Trail and my first Camino, I developed "stone bruises" or inflamed metatarsalgia. On the AT, there was really nothing at all to do except soak in the stream, wrap it and...

    help with camino kml,kmz,gpx tracking.

    If you are using google maps on your android, you can click one of the points (POI/Points of Interest) and use the WALKING directions to navigate to your hotel, for example. For much of the Camino, you can rely on the yellow arrows. When you are curious as to where you may be on the GPS or...

    The Introverted Pilgrim

    Perfectly said. While I am normally quite social and extroverted, my pilgrimage walks have been more of a journey inward. I don't begrudge those who want a different experience and I think I'm probably an outlier among pilgrims but I completely understand your comments @davebugg about opting...

    Forcing your dog, toddler, spouse to walk the Camino with you?

    At the risk of repeating myself, I have decided not to judge how others make pilgrimage so as to free my mind for my own enlightenment.

    GPS

    I'm surprised that no one has mentioned it but GaiaGPS is an outstanding app with public tracts to easily follow along EVERY camino route.

    Is there a Place in the Modern World for "Pilgrimages"?

    I must preface with this is my opinion and others certainly will feel otherwise, but I believe pilgrimage is an act of devotion to faith. There are a lot of ways to "walk" the Camino but only a purposeful act of faith resonates with me as a pilgrimage.

    Is there a Place in the Modern World for "Pilgrimages"?

    I believe in "pilgrimage" (the verb) - making a journey as an act of devotion.

    A budget tent to take on Camino - Detailed Review after 2 years of test

    My recommendation for the Camino is not tent camping as (a) it is a lot of weight for few opportunities and (b) I prefer to meet other pilgrims in the albergues, etc. to add depth to my Camino experience. I've done 30+ years of tent backing along the Appalachain Trail and Florida Trail. Some...

    A budget tent to take on Camino - Detailed Review after 2 years of test

    Glad you like your tent but, honestly I would not recommend to anyone to take a tent on the Camino, at least not in Spain or Portugal.

    The first pilgrim of the year is the first to arrive at the pilgrim office, not the first to arrive having begun in the calendar year.
