    Duo Lingo or Something Else?

    I have used Duo faithfully for 778 days and I can say it works. When I did the Primitivo in Sept 2022 (9 months in to Duo) I started EVERY conversation with “Estudio español en Duolingo y me gusta practicar”. After the first phrase (estudio in Duolingo” they would start to smile (or laugh) but...

    Hilliest Camino stages?

    These figures come from the Buen Camino App - and I can attest to the difficult level. (At least my feet and calf muscles can)

    Hilliest Camino stages?

    If you are wanting to walk on the Camino but not necessarily finish in Santiago, I recommend the Primitivo from Oviedo to Lugo. 211 Km including 7320 meters of elevation changes up and 7034 meters down most of that is the 155 Km from Grado (the start of day 2 in most guidebooks) and O Cadavo...

    Prayer without words on the Camino ?

    100%. Both of my Camino's were "prayer walks" and I'm guessing I prayed with words less than 5% of the time. My motto is "Every step a prayer". When I was praying for a specific person I often would simply breathe their name each time my left foot hit the ground. There is a as saying that...

    Camino without alcohol?

    My wife is a teatotaller, and I'm more like you. We have done the Camino Frances two times ('14 & '17) and it is no issue. You simply swap the wine for water. My guess is that at any given meal 20% of the people choose water.
