    Post-Camino Travel: A Mistake or a Blessing?

    After each camino we took some time off- also because we gave ourselves too much time to finish our caminos. We took the train to Vigo (1 hour?) and the ferry to Cangas and got an Air BnB for 10 days- walking up and down the coast, lots of swimming, hiking the islas cies, etc. Lots of hiking...

    How Do You End Your Camino

    We have found walking into Santiago to be anticlimactic. We have walked into Santiago, booked one night somewhere, gone to the mass mainly for the ceremony and the botafumeiro in the cathedral. Next day- train to Vigo area or just north of Porto for a few days on the beach. (and some more...

    Did Your Camino Plan Work?

The plans were 1) get to San Sebastian from Canada ( a long day!) take a rest day there (we did not- we started immediately) and then went with the flow- if we liked the people we were with we walked together, or met up for lunch or the evening. Took...

    Poll Which Camino are you planning next?

    Our plan is to start on el Norte from Irun to Bilbao, the olvidado to La Robla, up the Salvador to Oviedo, and the Primitivo to Lugo. We may stop there as after that the crowds can get pretty big!

    Bedbugs on CF

    Personally, I do not go to "apartment and hotel bed bug lawyers" for advice on different physical reactions to bed bug bites. Why bedbugs do not transmit pathogens to humans is not understood, but if they did transmit Chagas disease regularly, we would expect to see outbreaks of the disease...

    Avoiding the breakfast trap?

    On our walks around town after settling into the albergues we would buy 2-4 bananas and some yoghurt for the next day. Get up early, have our first breakfast, and off we went. Usually within 1-2 hours we would come by a bar- and have cafe con leche, and tortilla that set us up for the rest of...

    What is the most unusual thing you have seen on any Camino?

    Walking the Camino del norte in 2015, spent the night in Bodenaya with David (Awesome) walking down through some small towns, farms, villages, etc. Walked by a farm and saw 2 horses quietly eating away. And then in the corner of an enclosure was a horse- on its back, feet straight up in the air-...
