    When was your first Camino?

    Margaret, Your words of wisdom and kind, encouraging spirit have been a blessing for us pilgrims for lo, these many years.

    When was your first Camino?

    I joined the forum in spring 2012 to prepare for my first Camino that fall with my spouse after watching “The Way” which inspired so many Americans to make the journey. We walked the Frances from SJPP to Santiago and I was hooked. No phones nor apps so we took whatever lodgings we could. It was...

    When was your first Camino?

    At age 55, the Camino Frances was my first in 2012 with my spouse. SJPP to Santiago from the US. We carried no electronics except a digital camera and music on headphones. Used the Brierly and tore pages out as we went to reduce weight. Communicated home via euro-fed albergue computers with keys...

    Being "called" by The Way?

    ....the Wise Pilgrim guide for CF from the store here on the forum. It will give you great insight into many details of the Way, including lodgings. I would add that the Wise Pilgrim App is very helpful (and there are others) in that it can show you lodgings and allow you to book through...

    Hi ... crazy person here :)

    Question: debating about leaving my Brierly behind and depending only in the Wise Pilgtrim app. What do you think? Would you ever leave the Brierly at home and depend only on apps like Wise Pilgrim etc?

    Camino Frances - May 2019

    I'm starting in SJPdP on May 8, God willing, taking the Valcarlos route this time. This is my third camino, my second on the CF, my first solo. I have a Camino Forum badge on a dark red pack.. That is how you might spot me.

    Hi, camino first-timer here, advice needed please on route..thanks :)

    Perhaps you can manage Leon to Santiago. Or walk Tui to Santiago and then on to Finisterre or Muxia as the Celts of old did. Many pilgrims seem to delight in the walk to Finisterre, which takes 4-5 more days from Santiago.

    Camino Portuguese as our 2nd Camino

    Thank you so much! We have two weeks to travel the route, which feels so short compared to the 34 days it took to walk the CF. I hope it will still feel like pilgrimage.

    Camino Portuguese as our 2nd Camino

    We walked the CF in Sept/October of 2012 and are ready to try our second camino, this time the Portuguese route from Porto- Santiago-Finisterre (?). We only have 14 days, so probably only make it to Santiago. Starting May 2 - 14, 2017. Getting excited! Alice and Stuart

    Nice to know that DC will be represented at least twice in September on the Camino Frances. We'll be coming up behind you on the 27th September, also from the DC area. We are setting aside 40 days too, the traditional sojourn time in the wilderness. Buen Camino, Alice
