    Winter Camino Francés video (arrived January 6th, 2021)

    A short (7-10 day) Camino over Christmas - which route/section?

    Hi! I'm not sure where to post this but would really appreciate any ideas from experienced Camino walkers. I am a Canadian living in Spain and, due to Covid, will probably not be flying home for Christmas this year but staying in Spain instead. I've already walked the Norte, Primitivo...

    LIVE from the Camino Spot of snow here in the Pyrenees

    I'm in a mountain refuge at 2150m up the side of the Pic du Canigou (hoping to do a camino joining Canigou with Montserrat, two sacred mountains for Catalans). It snowed hard most of the afternoon, probably 10-15cm accumulated here, more higher up. Assume it will be similar on the Route de...

    Extra Precautions - For the Frances in Winter?

    I was prompted to ask, as I saw this wonderful photo. I often wonder what a Winter Camino might be like. Whilst I don't 'enjoy' the cold that much, I was brought up in the UK and lived there till age 40. The winter of 81 was fun. I recall it got to minus 20C! Obviously the right clothing is...
