    When Posting Reviews on Gronze . . .

    Reviews of albergues are just peoples opinions, we must remember the majority of the people who give these bad reviews are holiday makers not pilgrims, unfortunately they don't know the difference between the two. For me, I love staying in the local albergues, it's all part of the experience...

    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    I have to say it was the film that inspired me to do my first camino. I do take the point about Martin Sheen not making the effort not to learn Spanish. When I arrive I Spain I couldn't speak a word of Spanish, but by the end of my camino I could get by comfortably, so no excuse.

    Poll Why did you have to abandon your Camino? Anonymous

    I don't normally respond to polls but here goes, I put down Physical Injury, it wasn't life threatening.. I did the CF in 2015 on my own and had a magical experience, my wife joined me in Sarrtia and we did that last week together. The journey understand how lucky I've been in life and made me...

    albergue queuing

    I came across a situation where a tour guide placed a backpack in the queue and when the Albergue opened around the corner came his Client’s expecting to jump the queue to where the backpack was. He didn’t get away with that.

    Locals Only

    My experience on the CF is entirely different to a number of pilgrims. I remember on the Meseta and old couple in a beat up old van parked on the side of the track handing out cold drinks for free to passing pilgrims and wishing us Buen camino. Another time an elderly man grabbed my hand and...

    Camino etiquette - passing others on less-busy caminos

    I like to walk alone, I walk with my rosary in my hand, most people respect that and after a greeting move on. I did the whole Meseta without speaking to a sole (except evenings) it was magical. Waka

    Can we please talk kilometres, litres, Celsius, right-side driving, etc.?

    Oh you can be cruel, just to enlighten you I’ve never seen a sign the mentions KM, we still buy food in pounds of kilos, is oldies still use the imperial system. And as for making up our minds, we know what we want, it’s the idiots in charge that are confused and methinks that’s the same in...

    Can we please talk kilometres, litres, Celsius, right-side driving, etc.?

    Before I start I will apologise to out friends from Southern Ireland. When we joined the EU there was talk about SI changing the the side of the road they drove on to fit in with the rest of the EU. It was announced that on the week of the change cars wold change sides on the Friday with...

    Can we please talk kilometres, litres, Celsius, right-side driving, etc.?

    Us Britishers are right it's the rest of the world that's wrong. :p We're so clever we use both the metric and the imperial system and conversions are worked out in the head.o_O Also it would be very difficult to drive on the right hand side of the road because that's the side of the steering...

    Via de la Plata - downloadable GPS Maps

    It is my understanding (correct me if i'm wrong) but the Wise Pilgrim app will be ready soon, I have to old one on my phone as I have the others too, with the CF it automatically updated to the new one last week. You can't get better than the WP apps IMHO.

    Hiking Quotes - just for fun.

    A quote that not only applies to the camino but to everything in life. Whats for you won't go by you. Not sure where it's from.
