    Slow but moving forward

    I knew exactly what you meant Fernando. Been through many similar situations. However, most if not all who read the auto-correct "mispelling" understood what I meant. Now, make sure you don't lose that brown hat. Buen Camino

    Slow but moving forward

    Going slow is best. Key is moving forward. You get to enjoy the camino safer and without blisters.;)

    Slow but moving forward

    In Irache, on the right just before the town proper; about 4km from Estella; 2.5 km past Ayegui where the famous metal artist is located. Buen Camino.

    The Camino will provide?

    Yes! The camino is THE people (pilgrims) on it. Without the pilgrims, the camino as it is regarded, would be, well, just another trail or path or way. "Camino provides" does not mean providing material things. It means providing hope that things are going to be alright. That with hope, one can...

    Confused over date format

    How about jacket zippers? Europe zippers are inserted rightie while leftie in US. Tylenol/Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) pills with 1000 mg each. Clothing product tags are almost a foot long, an inch maybe in US.

    Confused over date format

    I believe Spain, particularly business transactions, uses the ISO standard/format calendar; most significant number (year/yyyy), next significant (month/mm), then day number (dd).

    Partially unplugging from the world

    What I did during my caminos, I only used my gizmos as safety and security devices. Prior to my walk I advised family and friends that I will contact them at the end of the day, time permitting, and/or unless something drastic happened. It is amazing how liberating, envigorating, and refreshing...

    Who and what determines a "real" pilgrim? Very curious!

    Local Travel Agency?

    Walking for 10 days, at a comfortable 10-12 miles (16-20kms) a day, the best starting points, considering elevations, because of the kids, are Sarria or Tui. Accommodations for 10 days/nights are not hard to figure out, without travel or tour groups' help. It is not like figuring out for the...

    Local Travel Agency?

    As everybody who has responded already, you are much better off using this forum for your planned Camino with your family. During my last Camino (2023), a family had to backtrack one stage because the accommodation CaminoWays arranged for them was not ready and available for their scheduled...

    Hospitaleros needed for Winter 2024

    I am highly curious, and interested of being a volunteer hospitalero. As a volunteer, what does the albergue provide subsequent to your volunteer work. Certainly, I am not talking monetary renumeration. And usually, is there a set number of days for volunteering? Thank you.

    How to donate a bench along the camino?

    Yes, we need someone local on the ground in Spain to start inquiring and soliciting vendors and contractors. Meanwhile, we should organize ourselves and set up contribution commitments and other necessary logistics.

    How to donate a bench along the camino?

    So far, at least two are committed to the idea of giving back to fellow/future pilgrims.

    How to donate a bench along the camino?

    I am in for a bench in an opportune location that would serve best its purpose. Who is else?

    Botafumeiro - can you smell the incense?

    When I attended mass at the Cathedral late 2022, I was initially seated at the left side (facing the altar). Hoping to have a better view of the swinging of the Botafumeiro, and the mass service, I moved to the center pews. Needless to say, when the swinging of the Botafumeiro happened, I did...

    Daily costings

    With a more or less daily allowance/budget of 100 Euros, you might as well stay in pensions or hostals. They provide you with a private room with private bath, and, most if not all, comes with free dinner and or breakfast. Hence, the price/cost difference between staying in communal albergues is...
