    Hiking up O Cebreiro in the Rain

    Hubby and I also hiked up to O Cebreiro last October in a wicked rain and wind storm! Like you, never felt it was dangerous.

    Zabaldika

    I didn't stay there but we took the alternative route to there in 2016, visited the church, rang the bell. I still have my beatitudes for pilgrims that I got there and frequently referenced them.

    Singing Nuns of Carrion de los Condes

    Hello everyone. Does one have to stay at Santa Maria in Carrion to experience the singing nuns and the pilgrim blessing or is it open to pilgrims staying at other albergues?

    Not quite live - La Porta de Valcarce to Vega de Valcarce lack of path

    Hi everyone! Returned home from 10 days on the camino from Leon to Sarria a week ago. Loved being back and looking forward to next year! We found the road from La Portela de Valcarce to Vega de Valcarce to be particularly hazardous - no dedicated walking path, little shoulder, winding and...

    LIVE from the Camino León to Sarria

    Reflection on 4 days. In Foncebadón tonight. We have been spending nights in small villages and enjoying the opportunity to speak Spanish. The Camino remains quieter than I expected. Restaurants/Bars have a lot of empty tables. Our hospitalier in Villares de Órbigo said that mid June to mid...

    LIVE from the Camino León to Sarria

    So happy to be back in Spain and back on the Camino! We- hubby and I, only have 10 days so walking León to Sarria via Samos. Started in León today - much cooler. The heatwave has definitely broken, at least for now! Was 10°C when we started today. Lots of liquid sunshine today...

    Basic pilgrim experiences on the Camino Frances

    I've read with interest on this forum about the pilgrim experiences at Albergues S. Juan Bautista in Granon and S. Francisco de Asis in Tosantos. Are there similar albergues elsewhere on the Camino Frances?

    Am I a Pilgrim?

    Thank you Pax. This is why I did the Camino and why I identify as a pilgrim. I felt closer to God during those 9 days than ever before. Talking to Him for hours and relying on His strength through injury I felt a peace that's difficult to grasp in the frenetic pace of our western world. Thank...

    Am I a Pilgrim?

    My husband and I walked a portion of the Camino de Santiago Sept 25 - Oct 3 from SSJP to Logrono. It was all the time we could take from work and decided when planning to do the Camino in 3 stages over 3 years. We've been home for 3 weeks now and the high is still on. However this past week...

    Planning my next Camino and doubting about sleeping in albergues

    Hi. My husband and I just finished days - all the time off we could do this year - from SJPP to Logrono. We stayed in hotels/private alburges and pre-booked but carries our backpacks. However,the pre-booking wasn't really necessary. It was easy to call ahead the day before or same day and get a...
