    Camino Snobs

    Hiya! Oh, I must confess, I have acted like a Camino snob on occasion. After a long, arduous ascent on a particular part of the Camino Frances, I looked before me and saw the most wonderful sight: a paved path, at least two meters in width, winding down the mountain toward a picturesque town...

    Disparaging "The Way"

    There is an Interesting foundation lodged in your opinion. It reminds me of how I had to overcome some black-and-white thinking while on my first pilgrimage on the Camino. Is it walking only? Does a person have to carry at least 10% of their weight the entire time? Should the newbie hordes...

    Anyone care to share their experience walking CF in April?

    I started in the last week of April, 2018, from SJPD. We ran into a problem finding open albergues and hotels due to an elongated national Spanish holiday at the end of April, beginning of May. Really, there were so many citizens on the Camino that it was necessary to reserve the next days bed...

    My first time - ALONE

    RKSharp, I would heartily recommend spending the night in St. Jean. This year I did the plane trip from Chicago, IL, to Paris, then a train from Paris to Bayonne, France, all in one 24 hour period. The French train was delayed for two hours when it broke down and we had to wait in a tunnel...
