    The why of a 2nd, 3rd or 17th Camino

    That pretty well encompasses everything! Good answer.

    Can You Do It?

    Love your questions! Here's a quote I came across around 30 years ago and I think of it any time I go hiking "Sure you might get lost, but don't worry you're biodegrable".

    How to change Spanish TVs to play programs in English

    Thanks for this! I am holed up in Santiago with a bum knee for a week, with another week to go. I've had the TV on subtitles and then been using Google translate on my phone to learn some more Spanish. They do have some funny TV shows and a good selection of radio stations but it's nice to...

    First week / last week on the Camino

    We actually tried this back in 2016 but were only about 1km away. Problem was the parking lot goes on forever before you even get close to the airport and we didn't know which way to walk. Luckily it was just a trial walk the night before our departure. Ever since my first time on the Camino...

    First week / last week on the Camino

    First week: I want the clean, dry shower stall. Last week: I want the wet shower stall because that means I don't have to wait for the warm water to reach here.

    Bring mayonnaise

    If you haven't tried google translate yet, practice saying bocadillo in Spanish to see what the Spanish are possibly hearing you say. You might want to order something else. I thought my pronunciation was fine but apparently google translate doesn't agree.

    Descriptive terminology for camino author

    When you said your stories lead to laughter my first thought was "Camino Comedian."

    Does walking with others take away having an individual experience?

    My exact thought as I was recalling my own experiences while reading these replies. One time I was walking with a fastpaced, talkative fellow and only vaguely recall some of the area we covered - it was raining pretty good and that is why I didn't mind the pace or the conversation. I walked...

    Your accommodation doesn't make you a pilgrim!

    Thanks for this info, this is what I have been missing (or never paid proper attention to). Also the info about stars indicating comfort level will be helpful.

    Your accommodation doesn't make you a pilgrim!

    Good for you! I took a quick look at your hotel but sadly it is beyond my budget. It is better to be "smart" and take your time rather than risk injury. I don't sweat but just go red in the face and scare the heck out of my husband. Since I have a tendency towards heat stroke I am a little...

    Your accommodation doesn't make you a pilgrim!

    LOL! Thanks Doug but, since we are talking about sleeping accomodations I don't think the technological items, other than those that can access the web, were the types that could provide info about rooms - unless you have some "special" technological fabric. As I asked earlier, I thought...

    Your accommodation doesn't make you a pilgrim!

    My style of camino travel as well! I think the Gronze guide is where I printed some info from.

    Your accommodation doesn't make you a pilgrim!

    Thanks for this. I was thinking there might have been something on the outside of the buildings that I wasn't reading. We brought the Brierly guide last time but rarely looked at it other than to take an alternate route to Eunate (which we didn't read was closed on the day we were there but...

    Your accommodation doesn't make you a pilgrim!

    Do you all mostly walk with technology and research your lodgings a few days in advance? I only walked to Santo Domingo and had a few places written down on paper as recommended or avoid. Now that you are talking about different types of albergues how do I know which type of albergue I am...

    heatwave on the Camino???

    I am also leaving SJPP around the middle of September and noticed the weather is predicted to be warmer than what I was planning/hoping for. I am only going as far as Burgos but I am still trying to find that happy medium for packing without over doing it. Better to have it and not need it...

    Travel to cast iron pilgrim cutouts?

    When we were walking up the alto del perdon we were worried about all the pilgrims also walking up and the next town being too busy to get a bed. Well, most of those pilgrims got on the air conditioned bus that was waiting for them at the top. There might be some type of tourist bus trip that...

    Any tips/recommendations for a vegan Camino Francés?

    If you have been eating this way for awhile you shouldn't have too much difficulty finding food that fits your eating style. This will probably mean a lot mercados but just think of the money you will save. We found a lot of the salads in restaurants in Spain had tuna in them. Not sure if...

    Such a shame

    I have heard about this "custom" but never understood the logic of burning garbage and thinking it was an okay thing to do. Even walking the rest of the camino and seeing boots that people feel are okay to just abandon on the path rather than dispose of properly. Some of the markers even start...

    What % quit their Camino ?

    I had to quit in 2013 due to plantar fascitiis - it was either quit and be able to come back when I was better or carry on and possibly be screwed for life. After much discussion my daughter, who was walking with me, "quit" as well. This fall I am returning with my husband but we are only...

    Would you still walk the Camino if you could not access the Internet ?

    Three years ago I walked for two weeks with my daughter. We didn't bring any electronics but we each brought a camera. I used the internet in hostels or locutorios to email my husband but could have easily phoned him instead. Email was more convenient given the time difference between BC and...
