    Your preferred sello (stamp)

    Pretty wax seal with ribbon at our lodging in Caldas de Reis. We weren't looking for it, it just surprised us! P.S. I always wanted a stamp like the El Ramón stamp in the movie The Way, the best stamp! 🤣🤣🤣

    How do you "relieve yourself" when a toilet is not available?

    Thank you thank you thank you for all the great pointers. I did the Portuguese Coastal and found the cafes sufficient; except twice when I discovered these "makeshift" toilets. The ziploc advice us the best I've heard! Thank you! 🙏🏽 I strongly agree on using the cafes and making donations! 💪🏽👏🏽

    Random thing that made you smile on Camino?

    A lovely hospitalera in O Porriño gave all pilgrims staying at her property (O Corzon) native oak seedlings ready to be planted along our paths in a reforestation effort. This happened after breakfast the day we continued on our camino. I used the app what3words after I planted my seedling to...

    How do you "relieve yourself" when a toilet is not available?

    Many pilgrims use corners and bushes as toilets. In an attempt to minimize these makeshift toilets, I offer two suggestions: 1. Use the toilets and the cafés on your path, bonus deed: buy a bottle of water or a snack to help them run them (costs of paper, cleaning, offering a stamp). 2. If...

    Random thing that made you smile on Camino?

    All the animals that have approached me for pettings (mostly cats and a few dogs) 🥰

    Must-have sellos in Santiago?

    Thank you so much for this tip. I will not be able to finish the last stage due to health reasons and this would be a nice thing to have in lieu of a compostela

    Camino hacks

    Hiking poles are great to do stretches, message calves, and to roll any tape you need (athletic tape, foot bandaging tape, etc.) for transport.

    Stamps for final day?

    All Spanish post offices (Correos)and police stations on the route provide stamps; no need to buy anything.

    Pilgrims “on a mission….”

    I agree! My husband uses the travel version (which is the size of a soda can). Healthy for the user and respectful for co-sleepers 🤓

    Pilgrims “on a mission….”

    Thatbis so lovely!!!! During my training I decided that I will pay it back by picking up facemasks from the path. They're everywhere and my back is relieved from the forward roll stretch once in a while 🤓

    Prayer books

    Moderators, please don't shut this thread, it has great resources. How about everyone agrees that there are people that want to do the pilgrimage for religious reasons and that there are others that don't? The camino brings good to all ❤️ Has the administrator thought of having a section for...

    Organising Information

    Hi Kev&Kath, I am at my final stages of my camino and I have found that all my spreadsheets, notes, guides, and lists have entered my subconscious so well that when I watch camino videos on Netflix, it all comes back to mind and I remember everything I wroye down. Muscle memory is happening 😃...

    @Thorben , if you have Spotify in your cellphone, I just found this beautiful prayer playlist. If you subscribe to the free trial, do it before your camino so you can download it in your phone for those times when there is no WiFi 😉: ¡Oye, un placer peregrino! Luego nos pensamos que hay más...

    I totally understand the question @Thorben , this was originally a religious pilgrimage and some people may wish to follow that tradition, specially believers. Plus there will be so many hours to be with your own thoughts during the camino! In a ddition to many good camino tools, the Buen...
