    Eco Camino with ecoembes support.

    Hi All, I am not sure if this initiative has been discussed here yet but I have only just seen it on Albergue Verdes Facebook profile. It seems like a brilliant idea. My Spanish language is very basic and I plan to google translate for more information but was wondering if any forum members...

    Is Courtesy Still Alive on the Camino? A Pre-Bookers Rant and more...

    I can confirm that courtesy is alive and well on the Camino and that in my experience some of the loveliest and most thoughtful people I have met in recent years have been met on the Camino. But I can also confirm that the Camino is not a controlled utopian ideal and as such many of the...

    Regrets of a pilgrim

    Perhaps the Camino's greatest gift is that once you have begun, it seems to never stop. The lessons and experiences we have on Camino seem to be carried with us and shape our new thinking long after we have returned home. Indeed some of us have a whole new way of looking at life. And perhaps...

    Camino not for me?

    I echo your sentiments actually! Your post was wonderfully positive and gentle so thank you also. I do love threads that show the genuine kindness of forum members and always find something to take away for myself.

    Camino not for me?

    Hello Kellbell, I am glad that you have reached out for advice and there is a wealth of knowledge from forum members much more experienced than myself that I hope will be forthcoming. You mention that there is a part of you that needs to push through it and so coupled with reaching out to the...

    Estate Agents

    I think it must have been unbearable and so intense to have to deal with both of them passing. But you absolutely did them proud being there in the last moments. And now also I imagine as you go on to your new future. Really hope you find the perfect place. Buen Caminos always Lee.

    Estate Agents

    Hi Lee, You have got me daydreaming about moving to Galicia now lol. I also found this site and thought you might like to have a look http://www.galiciavista.com/en/home/ It is brilliant that you got so much support from forum members. The Camino attracts some special people and I think it is...

    Estate Agents

    Hello Lee. I am so pleased to see that you are able to look to the future and are positive about a move to Spain. You have been through a terrible time and I applaud your strength and courage to keep going. I have not used this estate agent so I cannot recommend them but they seem reputable...

    Graffiti...but with a message

    Graffiti is accepted at the Cruz de Ferro? I was unaware of this. In fact, I believed that graffiti and rubbish were frowned upon and was regularly cleaned up at great expense. Could you please cite the reference that approves graffiti at Cruz de Fero. I cannot find it in my guidebook. In fact...

    Graffiti...but with a message

    The Oxford dictionary defines graffiti as "Writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place". And illicitly is the operative word. The Camino is not your property and you have no right to abuse it according to your whim. The Camino is...

    which part of the Meseta is most scenic?

    Perfect! Thanks for the reassurance. It is indeed difficult not to get excited about the camino. All the best.

    which part of the Meseta is most scenic?

    Haha...I get so carried away and always overshare . When i was about to post i actually hesitated, worried i was being too over the top but i figure people can take it or leave it. But I love the Camino and get over excited lol. I seem to constantly plan my next... All the best :-)

    which part of the Meseta is most scenic?

    I love the Meseta and my favourite stretch has always been the Burgos to Terradillos de los Templarios stages. It depends on how many kilometres a day you wish to walk but you could consider the following. Burgos to Hornillos del Camino is about 20/21 kms and so about 4 hours walking. Hornillos...

    Drones Coverage

    I have been watching this series and have to admit I loved it. Some of the footage was wonderful. The drone really did give me a wonderful perspective of the ruins at St Anton, among many other places, and I loved seeing the countryside I had walked from a bird's eye view. Do I want a Camino...

    If We Decide to Come Home . . .

    I also think Madrid is your best answer especially considering the cost of the flights. The cheapest from Santiago that weekend is £224 on the Saturday and £77 (or £121 with checked bag) and those prices are bound to rise. Madrid, on the other hand, has Saturday flights starting from £24 (or £...

    Can I walk while taking blood thinners

    oh and a word of warning regarding pain relieving gels and creams....please ensure that they do not contain any NSAIDs such as diclofenac, for example Voltaren, as the active ingredient is absorbed into the system and reacts the same as oral medication so please be aware of that.
