    want solitude

    I'm not an introvert, but I'm big on solitude. My three top tips for a solitary Camino are: 1. Stay off-stage where towns are quieter; 2. TELL PEOPLE that you want to walk quietly/alone/solo/without talking. You are allowed to want to walk by yourself and the sooner you get a reputation among...

    Death of American pilgrim in Castromaior today

    I am so sorry for your loss. Much love from this pilgrim to you and your family.

    Very impressive walk for a peregrino but I wonder if his companion thought it was a good idea

    This comment makes me sad. Horses and other pack animals are ancient companions on pilgrimages and it always warms my heart to see caballeros and folks with donkeys on the way. People rushing for and reserving beds make a lot more 'trouble for everyone' than these gentle animals and the folks...

    Is my daily average goal too ambitious?

    Doesn't really look like an extra opinion is necessary...but I can't resist! Pack light (SO LIGHT), start slow, and you'll be totally fine. As a runner and reasonably fit person, I embarked on my first camino with a similar goal. I ended up taking rest days (walked 28, rested 3), but for...

    What time is breakfast?

    I don't remember very many albergues having breakfast at all...did I miss the memo??? Personally I'm a fast walker and a late riser, so I usually don't have the problem of arriving anywhere before bars open, but like someone else said, I'm a big fan of having a bit of yesterday's bocadillo good...

    Bakery in Los Arcos ...Warning.

    I understand that a lot of pilgrims are on a budget. But if you can't factor in tourist pricing, can't accept that you definitely have more disposable income than a shopkeeper in a small town during COVID, don't see your privilege staring you in the face as you board planes and trains to have...

    Full albergues every day

    I'm starting to think I should bring/memorize the Brierley guide just so that I can avoid everywhere he tells us to stop!!! I, too, am not interested in booking in advance. I hope I will have the courage to step away from my usual routine of planning, booking, checking, and controlling to let...

    Orisson: To stop or not to stop?

    Eeep! I'm actually the most afraid of that descent...thanks to a bum knee. But I shall prevail! Google maps is leading me astray. I've sent an email re: reserving at Orisson, but haven't heard back. I might just see how I feel on the day. I don't want to stress too much! Thanks!

    Orisson: To stop or not to stop?

    Hmmm...I'm confused! When I look at a map it says that Orisson is only 2k from SJPP? But here people seem to say it's about a 2.5 hour walk...
