    How Do YOU Keep the Camino Spirit Alive in Your Heart?

    Icacos, I believe I will see you there! In Victoria? I am so looking forward to it.

    Are they real? Camino Blues

    Yeah, I call it my post-Camino existential crisis. Good luck. ;)

    Camino Romance

    Always thought it would be a good challenge for a future fiancee... let's walk the Camino and if we have the energy afterwards hobble down the aisle of the Santiago cathedral with our camino family in attendance ;)

    Camino Romance

    I had a Camino romance... We don't share a language, as he speaks just a little English and I speak just a little Spanish. Sign language and international words go a long way! But meeting him was certainly a highlight. We've kept in touch for two years over facebook, and in just a week in a half...

    When is the pilgrim traffic the Highest?

    I've been curious since I responded to this and wanted to find the statistics again that I saw before. This shows pilgrims leaving SJPP in 2012 (it's in French, but you can look at the charts.) Of course, not everyone who starts walking from SJPP walk to Santiago. But as you can see, May is an...

    When is the pilgrim traffic the Highest?

    Pilgrims on the Camino frances are never hard to come by. Only in the winter do the numbers significantly drop. You don't need to go at the busiest time to avoid being alone. But I believe the time you mentioned is the busiest for departures from SJPP, those stats are on here somewhere. Buen camino!

    Cost of posting a package to Santiago

    Great, I won't worry about taking some extra weight, then. Thanks so much, Laurie!

    Cost of posting a package to Santiago

    As I'm spending a few weeks in Spain off the Camino, I'm bringing some non-pilgrim clothes. However, I'm trying to weigh the benefits of bringing more and having to pay more to send it, or bringing a minimum of extra clothes and saving on postage. Does anyone know how expensive it is to mail a...

    What is the best card for withdrawing € on the Camino?

    Damián - Amex is not nearly as widely accepted abroad as Visa and Mastercard. I've never travelled with one so I'm not entirely certain how hard it is to use, but from what I've heard you may want to look into some alternatives. Ultreia, Lindsey

    Please help me with some research - Por Favor!

    Hi John, Thanks for your thoughtful response. I never really considered the idea that perhaps the tone was just a product of using a second language. As it was two years ago, I don't remember it clearly enough to analyze whether it was a product of me being overly sensitive or if there really...

    Please help me with some research - Por Favor!

    I did the survey. But I'm curious to hear what you might have to say about my experience, John! I'm wondering if I just got someone on a bad day or something. It left a bad taste in my mouth and is making me think twice about going to get a compostela after my next camino. I understand that the...

    Hair

    I also use the Lush shampoo bars. I took the "New" one (the red cinnamon one!) last time but mine actually didn't last - finished it off somewhere in Galicia, presumably because I just have a whole lot of hair to wash. But they really are perfect! Shampoo, soap and laundry soap all in one. I...

    Your most incredible Camino story.

    So true. There's a sad story behind almost every face... particularly on the Camino, it would seem.

    Your most incredible Camino story.

    We all have unbelievable stories from our Caminos and from our experiences and interactions with fellow pilgrims. Funny, absurd, enlightening, beautiful, heartbreaking. It would be impossible to not have stories like this, with the diversity and quality of people that we meet every literal step...

    Post-camino tattoo?

    Two of my pilgrim sisters and I discussed it often on the camino. I was walking with my dad, who despises tattoos, and they would often joke about being terrible influences on me (being about 10 years older). A few months ago one of them posted a photo on my facebook wall of the camino tattoos...

    Unfriendly dogs...problem or not?

    I didn't run into any malicious wild dogs, but there was a domestic one, right after where you could have taken the alternate path to Samos. It was a guard dog outside of a house that wasn't chained. It was aggressive, but I waited for more pilgrims to come along and we just kept our walking...
