    Found Credencial in Eunate

    Bless you for posting this, KeyserSoza! I had a heart-stopping moment on my 2019 Frances. I paused at the edge of SdeC, at the Chapel of San Marcos on the Monte de Gozo. I went inside for a quiet moment, and to get my credencial stamped, then rested on the low stone wall outside its door. I...

    Computer/ laptop for rent on Camino

    It's been quite a few years since I last saw a functioning "Internet Cafe" on the Frances.

    Diversity on the Camino

    Folks as tall as I am learn early to move always to the back row of the photo shoot....

    Diversity on the Camino

    My 2012 "Camino Family" about to set out.... A moment - and a photo - that I treasure! (That's Anniesantiago kneeling in the foreground.)

    Bring My Own Walking Cane

    In follow up to my post above --- (1) When I went to the airport in October 2023 (RIC) and checked in for my flight to Madrid, the desk clerk told me that my cane could be accepted as a checked-in baggage item, at no cost to me, and that I wouldn't need to take it though airport security at...

    Bring My Own Walking Cane

    In June 2022 and again in January 2023 I fell and broke my back. Needed two surgeries! .... My pain management doctor told me to start using a cane, which I prudently did.... When I later told him of my plan to revisit the Camino in October 2023 he gave me a letter. "You'll want this," he...

    How to donate a bench along the camino?

    One possibility. Just outside Astorga, on the left side of the Frances route to El Ganso and Rabanal and very near the Ecce Homo ermita, a Memorial Garden was established c2015 in the wake of the murder of Denise Thiem. It was in decent shape when I last walked by in September 2021.

    Who among the readers/contributors walked before 1979?

    I finished my Master's Degree in June of 1977 (Ancient & Medieval European Studies, 'natch!) and had some free time. So I bought a Eurailpass, and, with a backpack quite primitive by today's standards, flew to Europe from NY via Iceland and Luxemburg to do the almost stereotypical...

    Have You Heard of This Company?

    They booked rooms for me when I did the Camino Finisterre in 2017. I was perfectly satisfied with their services.

    John Brierley is seriously ill - an invitation to send messages of thanks and support.

    Don Elias Valina rests in a place of honor at Santa Maria la Real, in O Cebreiro. Perhaps a space could also be saved there for...?

    John Brierley is seriously ill - an invitation to send messages of thanks and support.

    Since 2011 I've probably consulted Brierley more often than I've consulted Holy Writ.

    Do Spaniards srsly eat this much tuna?

    I never, ever encountered tuna on a mixed salad until I started going to Spain.... But now a mixed salad sin atun seems downright naked. (Oh,, and I think I agree with Annie, #10 supra. Tuna in the USA just isn't the same, somehow.)

    Getting from Madrid to Ferrol?

    Last May I flew United Airlines from Washington DC IAD to MAD. Arrived Terminal 1 MAD 8:05 AM. Then flew Iberia Express 11:15am, from MAD Terminal 4 to SdeC Airport. Taxied into town. Stayed overnight at a nice place near the Plaza de Mazarelos, then walked to the new Intermodal Station. Bought...

    3-6 days in Sarria - waiting for group to arrive

    Wow! Sarria is good for maybe one day, if you're pushing things! Not for three to six! There's just not that much there, speaking touristically..... Bus or cab it to O Cebreiro and/or Samos, perhaps? Never been to Lugo, myself, but I've heard good things about it....

    Thoughts on “Santiago - the Camino within”

    Saw it last evening with two members of my congregation. We were all disappointed. I have zero interest in seeing it again, and would not recommend it to anyone interested in the subject. Trecile nailed it, (#8 supra)

    Knights Templar and other nonsense!

    I'll buy one!

    Knights Templar and other nonsense!

    Perhaps a reference to this spot on the Camino Ingles, just outside SdeC?
