    How much cash to carry?

    What is the least offensive way (more than one would be great?) to break a €100 note?

    New Camino documentary

    I agree with Saint Mike II - The Way is a completely different type of production, and will always be my first glimpse into the Camino. I would like to see the documentary, but only after I have been on my own Camino trek.

    Ha ha ha :) Your apology is gracefully accepted, kind Sir.

    Guide books - and the sour taste they leave

    Thank you for this! Has anyone else got an alternate route they would like to share? There seem to be a number of first time walkers setting off in the next few months, and I am sure we would all like to take full advantage of your accumulated knowledge of this magical route.

    In Torres del Rio…..Where I Stormed the Battlements

    And miss the fun with the dumpsters?? Yes, I suppose you are right... He he he!

    In Torres del Rio…..Where I Stormed the Battlements

    And if I wasn't there trying to climb over with you, I would at least have tried to catch you on the other side.

    In Torres del Rio…..Where I Stormed the Battlements

    Oh, nonsense. We ladies are equally keen on adventure, and are exquisitely resourceful in our own right. No one wants to hear, or tell, stories of being tucked safely away in bed every night before curfew like good little children ;)

    How do you manage to get out of work for 5 weeks?

    My personal experience in this regard is that it is incredibly difficult to get this time off without some sort of repercussion, be it unpaid leave or uncollected comments and snide remarks about your dedication to your job, and even calling into question the quality of your work by your...

    In Torres del Rio…..Where I Stormed the Battlements

    This could make for a very entertaining book. Of course, you would have to consume regular bottles of Tinto in order to fully embrace each situation as it arises. It reminds me of my father telling us stories of his childhood, and the adventures they survived

    In Torres del Rio…..Where I Stormed the Battlements

    My abs are sore, and this made me giggle. Shame on you! Wish I could have been there to see it :)

    Negative Comments about Camino Frances

    I am finding this thread to be going very much against the grain of what the Camino is supposed to stand for, the very spirit of it. I feel that an olive branch has been extended, and to "agree to disagree" would be a nice way to leave this subject. Come on, guys... This is just another one of...

    Negative Comments about Camino Frances

    I read FrancisT's article when I began researching the Camino de Santiago. I will admit that initially it had me raising my eyebrows, but I was quite at ease with what had been said by the end of it. At the time, all I wanted to believe was that the Camino was the most beautiful place on earth...

    Masses Along the Way?

    I come from a very conservative religious family, so believe me, I won't be barrelling down the aisle to partake in communion in a denomination other than my "own". As I can only find one congregation to call "my own" on the entire camino, it is nice to know that other denominations are welcome...

    The defining moment ?

    And then there was this book... Yum. Yum. Yum.

    The defining moment ?

    I heard about the Camino Francés from a friend/colleague of mine who had decided to leave full time employment and take a 8 month long sabatical. A friend of hers had already planned to do the Camino from Astorga onwards the following month, and invited her to join. At the time I thought it...

    Masses Along the Way?

    Thank you, Jim. I had seen this on TV somewhere and wondered why it was different.

    Masses Along the Way?

    Thanks, Annie.

    Masses Along the Way?

    I am not Catholic, but would like to attend Mass while on Camino. Is there any etiquette around this?

    For your own sake, come prepared!

    Thanks! This post gives me some comfort! I am 33, have bad knees, can't run to save my life (the last two points no doubt due to being overweight), but I can walk - I have no idea how far, but I can. I plan on walking from SPJdP to Santiago next year, and have taken out a gym membership so...
