    onlypilgrims.com

    I have used onlypilgrims and have always been satisfied. Maybe the confirmation email ended up in the "spam" folder (this happened to me) Buen Camino

    The very best souvenir from the Camino!

    From my balcony 🤣😂It overwinters. It's best when it's cold weather- it softens a bit and the bitterness is milder (I love that bitter taste).

    LIVE from the Camino Losing motivation after believing you can finish

    Hello @hawkeyepierce. I understand you and I wish you that tomorrow will bring new motivation. "I'm autistic and find some aspects of Spanish culture very trying. Sometimes I just need to be nonverbal for a while". I understand that very well too. On the Camino, for the first time I had the...

    Where do ( did ) you walk ( locally ) in 2022?

    Today - The Slovenian St. James's Way passes my home (1km). And today was a really wonderful day. The church at the top of the hill is the Church of St. James. https://photos.app.goo.gl/dGNwvPJujxN87i5x5

    My Camino regret!

    Same for the same reasons! Eunate was the reason I repeated this part of CF. It was worth it. Magically. Buen Camino!

    To what extent did 'others' influence your Walking Distance and Stops? (Not a Poll)

    I was with a friend on my first Camino, we walked separately most of the time. But even then, rarely when we walked together, did I notice that the conversation took me away from the “here and now,” that I was less attentive and present. I have been walking alone ever since. Or at least one day...

    Dealing with ticks in inaccessible places (on the body not the Camino)

    Since I had borreliosis I am more afraid of ticks than Covid-19, lions, snakes ...... Unfortunately, they like me very much. I have been vaccinated against tick-borne meningitis, and I do not intend to give up walking in nature. Since I sometimes did quite a bit of damage in “weird” places, in a...

    Rest day accomodation rules?

    I also recommend the Aloha hostel - very cozy, clean, centrally located, very close to the Camino Trail, 15€ per night

    How Hot is Too Hot for You? (NOT a Poll)

    "Thank goodness this is not another poll. Thank you @Robo". And thank you @dougfitz 😂 I walked for the first time in 2011. Since I worked in school, my only free time was summer. Hot, hot, hot. Once also 36 ° C at 8pm .... Once even Via de la Plata in July. That was really tiring, but not...

    Amazon rain forest

    not just oxygen .... animals and indigenous people ... we can help put out fires, but it would probably be a long-term and more effective to start with yourself - consumption is what causes Brazilian entrepreneurs to deforestate. As long as they can sell what is profitable to them, they will be...

    Litter on the Camino

    It took some time for me to be horrified over the waste at Camino. I am a retired teacher, so it became clear to me over time that this is a matter of education. It is likely that every one of us ever did something in his life, which he was later ashamed of - for lack of information. There are...

    Litter on the Camino

    Some of us have been raised that we do not leave trash , some do not. The society is made in such a way that those who do not have this as an internal value - prescribe the rules. Maybe a little move would be achieved if the attachment to each credential is a friendly list (do not leave trash...

    100.000 Pilgrims in 135 days

    :eek: despite the fact that freedom and spontaneity are what I really like on Camino, I booked accommodation for September. I hope I exaggerated

    Guided vs. Self-Guided Caminos

    exactly ! that's why I do not even want to be "guided" by someone else's system ;)! Now, quite seriously: I really can not imagine being part of a guided group. For me, 90% of all the beauty of such pilgrimage would have been lost. If it's pilgrimage, of course. For me, I repeat. It's probably...

    Ladies, would love to hear your Camino Stories

    I started to walk, walked, finished. In the meantime, enjoyed it. I did not feel that it was something different because I am a woman. I think that this is largely a journey of the soul, I do not know if it has gender

    Where did you walk ( locally ) in 2017?

    Weekend retreat (and walk) on monastery Stična (y. 1132). This is also a accommodation in Slovenian Jacob route. Accommodation in the room (bed, breakfast, dinner, lunch - room for two, but if they have enough space then each have their own room - 25 €). Stična Monastery is famous for its...

    12 year old forced to walk

    I think this: of course there is the possibility that the story is just a "story". In this case, the worst thing that can happen is that with a few friendly words I will look foolish and my ego a little offended:D(or not). Otherwise - if the story is true and I not react .... and no one answers...

    Meltdowns. How did/do you handle them?

    My first Camino (2011) I finished in Burgos. The whole year I rejoiced below, waiting, and finally arrived back in Burgos. I started to walk. After two hours (two hours!!!!!:D) of walking,I said to myself: "Are you normal? do you need this? And the flight back got just in two weeks! " Then I sat...

    Where did you walk ( locally ) in 2017?

    :rolleyes:I'm completely speechless @Mike Trebert . This is why I decided on the Camino I no longer wore the camera, just a smartphone. For a good shot you need: an eye that sees, good equipment, the time / patience, experience, interesting conditions ..... when I last walked the VDLP, I had a...
