    It might be the kilometer which breaks the camel’s back!

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    Oh, on the contrary, I love celebrating my birthdays nowadays. I so very much appreciate every time I am still here to celebrate. Especially being able to do so by walking another camino!

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    Hoping to walk the Invierno next month at 84 - se Deus quiser, lots of things can happen until then to stop me. I feel very lucky and savour every time I can still do it…

    That recipe - which one is yours?

    Has anybody mentioned pulpo? I like eating, but don’t like cooking. However next time I can get squid or octopus I will try pulpo, my favourite dish in Galicia.

    Soft tips for new walkers

    Yes, but sometimes many miles away and not anywhere near the camino… I take paper to the loo, not a telephone….. Hi David, do you carry these custard pies now instead of the first aid equipment you used to carry to help pilgrims in distress ( have I got this right or am I mistaking you for...

    Carry your backpack please.

    “Remember not all disabilities are visible” I have read next to seats reserved for elderly or pregnant or otherwise “disabled” persons on the public transport system soewhherein th UK. Do let us know when you undertake such a camino! Locally I often come across people walking with a zimmer...

    Listening to Music/Audiobooks/Podcasts while making the pilgrimage?

    I do not use listening devices, but I sing - mostly in my head, sometimes aloud, when I think I am alone, and wave my poles about. Singing cheers me up, gives rhythm to my walk and propels me along beautifully. And you can “march” on any music, on marches obviously, but even on valses. That is...

    Diversity on the Camino

    Excellent! If “The Way” inspired you, watch “I’ll push you” - maybe you have watched it already…

    Diversity on the Camino

    PS Hello happypilgrim! How did you come to walk the camino? Which is the same question I would like to put to nycwalking who, if I understand, has walked several caminos and even was a hospitaleira.

    Diversity on the Camino

    Brava! At last a first positive idea to do something about what I percieved as a lack of diversity on the camino!

    Diversity on the Camino

    I have begun to think that the thread has answered my question about the lack of diversity on the caminos and the possible reasons for it - a lot of food for thought. What to do about it was my other question. No answer so far and while we think about it maybe we will calm down and reflect and...

    Well, then you cannot understand what we are talking about and cannot contribute to the discussion.

    Diversity on the Camino

    There are so many more pilgrrims in the CF, more than on any other camino. I have not yet walked the CF. So maybe I am not "qualified" to discuss this topic...

    Diversity on the Camino

    By the way I try not to offend anybody. I just thought we might ask ourselves why we are not more diversified and what can be done about it. Will discuss this with “Alessandra from London” when I meet her.

    Diversity on the Camino

    I correct myself: when walking the Inglés last month I met a very dark lady pausing in a bus shelter. “Oh!” the German lady I happened to be walking with cried “Alessandra from London!” They had met, obviously. I took their photograph and they talked for a while. Then we continued without...

    Diversity on the Camino

    Hello! I was having a problem of how to formulate a title for this thread. Have been looking at one of my old blogs and noticed mentioning my coming across a person of colour (a gentleman). We discussed umbrellas because he had noticed that I was carrying the same umbrella as he was carrying. I...
