    When do most pilgrims feel like quitting the Camino de Santiago?

    Never felt like quitting. I have done the Frances St Jean to Santiago complete in 3 sessions. (due to vacation limitations) I have been back many times to do 300 or 200 or 500kms dependant on time and finances - never wanted to quit Once I met a girl in Zubiri in Albergue who looked miserable -...

    Tips for buying warm clothes in Ponferrada

    Usually I walk Sept and into October. I always bring a pair of lightweight thermals - black. Sleep in them and in cold weather use them as an under layer. Buen Camino.

    Very early excitement

    Bravo Ricky! Maybe I'll see you out there as I hope to walk Sept/Oct 2023! I once had a life goal to walk the Appalachian Trail - 3 timrs I was all set and each time I couldn't go as each of my 3 children had an emergency then. Haven't done that but Love the Camino - been several times. Years...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Camino Frances

    Same Camino over and over again

    Been on Camino Fraances quite a few times - always a different trip! Several times I pre-planned to walk a different route.......but somehow always end up on CF. I won't be able to go again till 2023. However, this time I am planning on CF. It will be a slow go - knee and back issues, not to...

    Where did that Town Go??

    I am fortunate in that I tend to remember things visually as does Chenahusky I am very visual and tend to say to my friends "well I don't know the names of the streets but I can walk there with you" My Camino memories are pretty accurate - which is most useful! I also have some...

    Illy is to Italy, what Delta is to Portugal... what is the ubiquitous coffee brand sold at bars along the Frances?

    Yes! Yes! Yes! One warm day I climbed too fast and despite a water break I was definitely dehydrated, I stopped at every cafe that day and had freshly squeezed OJ at every one that had it! (most of them). It was a magical recuperation. In my journal I refer to it as an OJ day! --) ps I soooo...

    Don't grow up: It's a trap.

    At 75 and after several times on CF I couldn't agree more "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now" Under Covid restrictions I am currently planning next trip - sadly will have to wait till 2022 or 2023.

    Camino Frances a Second Time

    It will be different but wonderful none the less! Different people, perhaps a stay in a different Albergue or town. I have done a complete from St.JdeP to Santiago. I recall saying to my friend ;I don't think I will do this again' and she thought she would She didn't but I did. Went and did...
