    Monte de Gozo - statue commemorating visit of pope has been removed

    I was not aware that the monument had been removed but looking at the images from Devon Mike, it clearly shows the vandalism that had occurred by 2018. I really don't understand why people must engrave their mark on things like this. Even back in 2013, I was surprised by the way the path...

    Dilemma: Second Camino

    There's hardly a day I don't wish I live closer to Europe to undertake more Caminos. It's a long way from Australia so the tendency is to do an entire walk while there rather than shorter stretches. I envy those who can spend a couple of weeks year after year making progress along these...

    Short first Day? CF

    You're one of the "young ones" at 64 Sue. I can remember being so inspired by an 81yo American woman I met on day 1 at Roncesvalles (where I began my Camino Frances). I couldn't imagine why anyone would want to hike across the Pyrenees on their first day but discovered that most pilgrims did...

    All the ways that the movie “The Way” was spot on...

    Wonderful to hear that Patxaran can be sourced in Australia. We were introduced to this wonderful liqueur at the Hotel Costa Vella in Santiago de Compostela after finishing our walk from Roncesvalles in 2013. The waiter who served it didn't measure the quantity - just poured it over ice till...

    Excited newbies

    Hi Julia you could consider beginning your walk in the small village of Roncesvalles just on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees mountains. The walk from SJPD is quite challenging for a first day but it seems most people want to begin from there. We (Aussies - so almost your cousins!) caught a...
