    SJPDP budget friendly places to eat

    A knife is a most useful purchase, especially with a cork screw.

    Would you stop at places that lack the Camino hospitality?

    These places have expenses, and depending where you are in Spain, and how dry the year is, water may even be rationed. Even here at home, when I use the gas station rest rooms, if I am not buying gas, i buy a package of chewing gum or maybe a newspaper. It costs little, and beats the heck out...

    Too cold to walk in October? Too deserted for a woman alone?

    Fear not, I walked the same route and the same time last year. The crowds are a tad thinner but still lots around :) You will find a "camino Family" and will watch out for each other all the way.

    71 year old man dies at albergue in Tricastela

    True, I would rather go quickly, pursuing something I loved, than die by bits and pieces.

    Sarria scams

    This scam is rife from Sarria to Santiago.

    Cost excluding food - is 8-15 euros correct?

    As of last October/November 017, those were the prices I paid.

    Horse wagon for Peregrinos

    I have heard of a similar service out of Leon. Any body else heard of it?

    Interesting Read

    I found this article to be a good foil: http://tomallen.info/adventure-snobs-hate-camino-de-santiago/

    Dangerous road to Santiago?

    A lot more people expire in their Bathroom.

    Group tour? Looking for recommendations

    I guess your parents are concerned for your safety. Are they afraid because you are a young woman walking alone? Well, I am a woman (though hardy young) embarking on my camino solo as well. I know that while I am leaving alone (My husband has promised faithfully he will accompany me to the...

    Camino Frances

    My day is getting closer too, and as my departure date grows closer (I leave here the night of the 13 and arrive CDG the morning of the 14, go by train to Bairritz at around 7 pm local time. I expect that I will be jet lagged to death. My concern is whether I stay the night there, or push on...

    I'm off then

    I am waiting to see this movie too. If you manage to get a dvd, make sure it is the correct region for your player. I also believe it can be streamed online.

    Walking in Mid September- October

    Below is a response I made to a similar question and includes URLs to web sites that will give you the information you require, hope this helps. To be honest, I don't think that the cold at the end would be what I consider "extreme" . Granted, I live in a country where people wear parkas and...

    Daily laundry perplexes me

    and here the odors of stale beer and cigarette smoke makes me feel vaguely home sick.

    Daily laundry perplexes me

    Also, today may be an excellent day for drying: Sunny, warm and maybe a bit of a breeze. Tomorrow, it might be pissind down rain. So, literally do the laundry while the sun shines!

    Daily laundry perplexes me

    And brush your teeth.

    One walking stick vs two

    Personally, I like two poles because I like the stability they give me on uneven surfaces, particularly down hill. I have read accounts where people like only a single staff, and others that start with one, and later change to trekking poles. YMMV. Buen Camino, Happy Trails. Ultriea, Excelsior!

    A Camino Race - Really

    I respectfully have to disagree with you. I think the end message here is that nothing is happening on the Camino is just the most recent face of what has been going on for as long as the Camino has been in existence. There has always been commercialism in one form or another. Intellectual ad...

    A Camino Race - Really

    The thing is, that none of the "extra curricular" activities that you mention above are, shall I say it, new to the pilgrimage. Historically speaking, with the possible exception of "committing herbicide" ain't nothing done today that wasn't done 600 years ago. Indeed, there was a saying that...
