    Shantiago - a Camino song in shanty style

    I echo others… brilliant! I have forwarded it already to others especially to a very special cousin of mine… Robin (and wife Norma). I am taking them on their 3rd camino in Sept this year - Roncesvalles to Logroño - we have plenty of time to learn the lyrics!!

    Scam - again..

    I spent hours, when I was scammed in January, looking for a contact number or email in order to contact a real person, not a robot in Booking.com. I eventually gave up. Grrr

    Scam & booking.com

    Yes, I have fallen for it! What an idiot. I am always telling people to be careful when purchasing on-line. I am planning a shortish camino (Roncesvalles to Logroño) in September of this year. I often use Booking. Com for searching out accommodation and other things. I have a hotel booked in...

    Staying motivated between Caminos

    Oh gosh… where do I begin. I can resonate with almost everything said. I should aim be aiming to walk daily for weight and health reasons - nothing major, just a kilo or two too many, the odd creaking knee etc, etc. But walk just around the block? Not for me, zero motivation! But a camino… a...

    Apps - show your appreciation

    Talking of apps, can anyone answer the question put to me by someone in the orienteering club I belong to...

    I need a laugh.

    Not a camino related story as such but I suppose it could have happened up in the Pyrenees It took place in the Sierra Nevada. A group of young women went up on a ski lift and were going to ski down. One of them was dying to spend a penny (coloquial English!) but there were no loos up there or...

    You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means

    We English "pull your leg" when teasing. The Spanish pull or take your hair... Ouch! We also might go and visit George (or see a man about a dog) while others might visit the loo, toilet, facilities or servicios and I believe that on the other side of the Pond one might visit the john!

    Sponsorship

    Does anyone have experience in doing the camino and at the same time using it (in the right sense of course) to raise money for charitable ends - not mine! Judy

    Worried about getting a Credencial or Pilgrims' Passport?

    Sellos Hi. I have read on the forum in various places that it is quite tough to get many sellos on the Ingles route. Is there a list of places one can try? I see from the Guide that there are some mentioned but they seem to peter out after Betanzos. Is this cos there aren't any to be had or do...
