    What would you change about the CF - if you could?

    Spain, like the rest of the western world, not only has less priests, but also has a declining population of church goers. So the volunteer parish numbers decline, and the volunteers that do assist are getting older and can do less, or nothing.

    Sleeping bag in summer

    I have walked three Caminos. The first two late September into November. Had a 2lb Zero bag and was happy. Third Camino, late May into July and had purchased a Summit liner that not only lines, but keeps the bedbugs at bay. Worked GREAT!!! Also purchased an inexpensive piece of fleece from...

    Ibuprofen in Spain

    Ibuprofen is a good remedy for those 'aches and pains', but you might want to consider Napraxen Sodium if your taking regular daily doses. As a nurse I have been made aware from my nurse practitioner colleagues that studies are showing that there is less stress on the liver as the compound is...

    STEPS: Why Pilgrims Walk the Camino de Santiago

    A late observation. Technically you have done your journalism instructors proud... however, you have made a common error. On your first Camino you filmed your project (walking the Camino), you should have walked without the camera. You could have experienced the Camino without the mind...

    Can I have my cake and eat it too?

    The Me says is the soul of the Camino The Mesata is the soul of the Camino. You don't 'skip it'. If you don't have the time to do the Camino it's alright to wait until you do. Peace be with you.

    Can I have my cake and eat it too?

    You have posed a question that, is in reality, a cliche. What you haven't yet told us why you want to walk the Camino. It seems that you want to participate in an event. Something that will make good conversation when you return to your home??? So... What is the motivation??? Another notch on...

    Got advice? Share it please!

    Start slow. Take rests and remove footwear and socks and have a cup of whatever you like. Enjoy your fellow pilgrims...enjoy the solitude. Find what is a comfortable pace and cruise. Have small km days with no concern. Any 'Type A' in you ship it to Ivar in Santiago where it will be waiting...

    I think I’m ready, but I have a couple of questions...

    Well John Lloyd I think I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said. I just use the Brierly guide book but, I'm 'old school' and not intrigued by electronics. I like books, but that's me. The suggestion to set yourself up to tackle more strenuous ascents/descents in the morning is a...

    Light At The End of The Tunnel? :-)

    That's a heavy pack you've been carrying Senor Bugg. I am glad that you have shared with us your predicament. Perhaps we can all help you 'lighten ' your load. If this forum is good for one thing, and it is most certainly good for more than one, it is very well prepared to assist pilgrims with...

    Not another "best time to do the camino" thread... starting SJPP late September

    Have walked in both '15 and'17. Started on the 22cnd and 26th of Sept respectively. '15 over the mountains, busy,, but not grotesquely so. Plenty of spots of solitude. '17 'under' the mountain' stayed the night in Val Carlos (sp?) and had the alberghue all to myself. Slept until 10:30 the next...
