    shells & distances

    Hola Well.. when you walk the Camino everyone is doing it a littel bit different. There are many smaller - and bigger - detours, such as scenic routes in nature or possible visits to curches and monastaries. On the meseta there are different ways to walk and so on. When you leave Roncesvales...

    First night arriving for the Camino in albergue

    Hola Samarkand I sugget that you do a thorough check of your rain pants and jacket and compare it with the ponchoo. And then you decide on one of the two.

    Angela from OZ and her graffiti

    2000 years old graffiti. - Pompei. And no. I do not like the endless littering and vandalism that follow the Caminos, but humans are humans, and when a few millions are walking the same stretch over a decade, there is no way it will not show. On one of my walks I meet a young man and we walked...
