    Will I Be Disappointed?

    I can’t think of a better way to spend a birthday than on the Camino. I have spent my last two birthdays on the Camino- The Portugues in 2018 and the Camino a Fisterra in 2019. The Camino Portugues, especially in May, will not let you down! It’s a beautiful camino, as you meander through the...

    Best Times?

    Tom- you continue to be an inspiration to us all. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. You will have more impact on Peregrinos in the pilgrim office than on the Camino.

    Best Times?

    Jami, I turned 64 last year on the Camino Portugues. On the last day, I realized that I was the oldest person with a near 30lb pack. This year I have reduced the weight to less than 20lbs and my wife and I decided to enjoy the walk, so we will not plan to do 25-30k in a day. Instead we have...

    Best Times?

    Fuerza, Tom! Great advice! I will be turning 65 on My next Camino in June. There are quite a few of us sextagenerians on the Caminos. Great news on the medical results. I am trying to lose the same amount of weight that my pack weighs- around 20 lbs.
