    A Pilgrim Offering

    Thank you kindly!

    Lets Build an Albergue!

    Plenty of outlets for CPAP users 😴

    Talking about work while on the Camino

    I was never asked about my profession last year when I walked the CF!

    Is it good to sing and dance during Camino de Santiago?

    The only times I ever experienced people singing aloud together, it ALWAYS happened to be to Queen. It was typically strangers joining in while passing others by. I loved it, especially when it would occur in tunnels where people would let loose to enjoy the acoustics!

    Favorite Leg/Section

    The stages just beyond Pamplona. Loved every second!

    Medallion from Pilgrim’s Office in St. Jean

    That's great! I'd love a challenge coin like that. We were at the Pilgrim Office in mid-September and didn't see any of these.

    Alternative to high bridge to enter Portomarin?

    I did the same! I focused on singing a song. I don't even mind heights but I was less than thrilled with the high winds keeping me from walking a straight line on the bridge! I ended up standing at bottom of the stairs for a bit with a bunch of other pilgrims. No one really seemed ready to start...

    Frances in 27 days?

    I'm just throwing in another vote for starting in Pamplona. We did SJPP to Santiago in a month but we took rest/healing days after I took a tumble down some stairs. You never know when you may end up needing one of those days. We absolutely loved Pamplona, and the walk heading out of town is...

    Where is the steep and lengthen rocky (pebbles) descent?

    The descent after Cruz de Ferro was really tough. The heat wave last month didn't help either. I finished the day with a good amount of Arnica cream, paracetamol...and sangria!

    American pilgrim dies while walking Camino

    Rest easy, peregrino. Prayers for all who loved you and were touched by your life.

    Avoiding pre-booking possible during spring?

    I finished around two weeks ago, and indeed it was busy. I didn't pre-book anything though except for Santiago (and even that changed last second because of an issue with the hostel upon arrival). I only found two albergues to be full my entire Camino, and both were in the same town; a very...

    2 stamps a day starting after Sarria

    I finished the Camino Frances just over a week ago. I was worried about getting two stamps a day once I reached Sarria, so I started getting them at every bar, church, and albergue I stopped in. I quickly realized that was far too many stamps and only did the two a day. When I got the final...

    A prayer for a Camino friend.

    My prayers are with you and all who cared for her.

    Return to the Camino Frances

    Another vote for ALSA bus. I used them several times on my Camino the last few weeks. It was always easy to buy tickets from their website and just hop on. Buen Camino!

    To the person who wanted to inspire love . . . you didn't!

    I noticed those yesterday on the way to Pedrouzo (getting to Santiago today). I saw one a few days ago with rather foul language.

    Start in the rain

    You aren't kidding! It was raining last month when I started my Camino. I would've given anything for rain on the Meseta recently in the 45C heat. As has already been said, the pilgrims office in SJPP is a huge help. Buen Camino!

    Health insurance

    Some of us don't get that choice. I can't get travel insurance and I'm on the Camino Frances right now. That said, of course I still recommend it to others.

    Heat, feet and water

    Buen Camino! I am in Portomarín today.

    Safe to walk in Ponferrada at night?

    Honestly I have no idea about taxi availability at that time of night. I just left Ponferrada yesterday via train. Honestly I may err on the side of caution simply because of the career fields of my household, which leave us skeptical. All I can say is to trust your judgment. If you opt to walk...

    Safe to walk in Ponferrada at night?

    I'd probably arrange a taxi. I'm in Ponferrada right now actually. I took a taxi today and the driver, Luis, was really nice and enjoyed pointing out interesting things we went by. If you don't have a taxi contact, his number is 34 671 70 80 70. Buen Camino!
