I mistakenly thought this was a boring subject. Was I wrong! And I see we are all pretty much in the same boat! For me: Managing the Beilari FaceBook page including a little fundraising program and managing the big volunteer effort that got totally cancelled, working on the American Pilgrims on...
Actually, when one gets to the bottom of everything one hears from Camino Peregrinos, it is all about transformation. your study is really interesting and could important to understanding what is pilgrimage and what is holiday for instance. And that question is totally apart from parochial...
Thanks so much for this. As usual fantastic advice! I am starting the Primitivo in about 4 days and I needed to read this! At my 76 years I take every bit of good advice. I can do it!
You will have no problem if it is caffeine that you want. The Spanish Cafe con leche is wonderful. Espresso with frothed milk. An American is espresso with hot water added. No problem. Better than from where you come from

Very interesting! I love the response about not letting anyone take control of your life. At 76 heading back to Spain this spring for the Camino Primitivo and two volunteer stints. And language learning is really helpful!
You will be fine and it will be a fantastic adventure. I would advise NOT carrying cash. ATM’s are plentiful and you can restock your wallet easily. Go for it
