    Poll Where do you come from?

    I'm from a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains Of ragged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains, oh and the large sections that burnt recently.

    Types of Compostelas and other certificates

    Thanks Bradypus, the friend who was going to walk with me this year has had a reoccurrence and the prognosis is not good. So I want to dedicate the Camino to her.

    Types of Compostelas and other certificates

    Thanks Northern Light. It might be a silly question, but with the 'in Vicare Pro' does the other persons name get printed on the Compostela?

    Types of Compostelas and other certificates

    Hi all, I've walked the Frances route twice now and have received a Compostela each time. Last year when I walked the second time I also obtained a distance certificate and the half way certificate at Sahagun. I am also aware of the certificates you can get in Muxia and Finisterre. This year I...

    Bedbugs - What is your blood type?

    If you're allergic like me, it's not just the itch. The bite starts off small like a mozzie bite and then a huge hot welt appears around each bite, about the size of an Aussie 20 cent piece. The actual bite area then blisters with multiple little blisters all the while itching. If you're a...

    Cross of Saint James and the Santiago Torte

    Thanks Kanga, I tried that last month when I made the tart for the first time and it looked great until I tried to remove it and the excess sugar on the cross fell off and spoiled the pattern. I could try cardboard, but I saw a lovely metal cross on the Hairy Bikers Bakation that a Santiago...

    Cross of Saint James and the Santiago Torte

    Hi all, Does anyone know of a shop in Santiago that sells metal Crosses for using when dusting the torte with icing sugar? I only spent two days in Santiago after my first walk and don't recall seeing any cooking supplies shops, but I also didn't venture too far from the Cathedral part of...

    The truth about Camino fashion

    I love that my sports bras dry so much quicker than any other bra, but agree with you @Mobilemejen you end up with a uniboob!

    Possible explanation of why some of us do multiple Caminos or the same Camino multiple times

    When I walked the first time in 2016, I couldn't have imagined walking again. I walked through the heatwave of early September 2016, developed blusters that got infected and caused me to bus forward to Burgos to recover. Once my feet recovered I recommenced and made it halway across the Meseta...

    The truth about Camino fashion

    As I travel on my own, I'm very rarely in my photos. So the ones I'm in are few and far between so no one noticed the same t-shirt. My hair routine became, rinsing it daily, washing it everyother day and conditioning once a week, coupled with a doubled over ponytail so it sat above my pack...
