    Snow!

    rude spanish bar owners.live from camino

    I guess there is a rotten apple or two in every barrel, but when I walked the Frances in 2008 most of my bar experiences were very favorable. I did notice in several locations that preference was given to the local trade and pilgrims needed to wait until they were served. I don't interpret this...

    Do we have to stop at a border crossing to show passport?

    The day that we crossed the Pyrenees from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port the weather was very poor with freezing rain at the top so we took the van ride with the backpacks that other braver pilgrims didn't want to carry.

    L'Esprit du Chemin updated website

    litter on the camino

    I walked last April and May and I was amazed at how clean and pristine everything was. I saw very little litter certainly nothing like the pigs in my own community throw from their car windows without a thought for nature or the environment. Maybe I was just lucky walking early in the season...

    Dogs on the Camino

    I walked the Camino last April and May and I was a bit worried before I started because I had been reading stories about people who had problems with dogs along the way. Well I had no problem at all and met nothing but friendly dogs all along the way. None that I would call strays,they all...
