Referring to the Camino is not only as a constructed road it's also any way or path even through life (Camino de la Vida) so I guess "it" can be used too?Enthusiast, yes; addict, no. I’ve no desire to watch the Martin Sheen movie, acquire a tattoo, connect to any Camino social media websites beside this one or drink any more vino tinto. I’m curious, though, as to why you self-confessed addicts can’t stay away from her. The Camino is grammatically masculine.

I am a Camino Junkie and I write this for the many Camino Addicts I've met and have yet to meet. If you answer yes to 7/10 you are a Junkie:
1. You start planning your next Camino before the current one is done.
2. You look for yellow arrows whenever and wherever you walk.
3. You have read or watched 10+ books or movies on The Camino and never get bored with it.
4. You find yourself dreaming about the Camino each and every day you are away from her.
5. You wake up at home looking for your backpack.
6. You connect to 3+ Camino social web sites.
7. You feel a strong urge to reach out and stay connected with your Camino buddies.
8. You find yourself drinking more vino tinto and looking for good Tortilla Patata Recipes.
9. You consider the unthinkable; getting a tattoo for the first time and it is Camino related.
10. The movie “The Way” with Martin Sheen has become your favorite film. Perhaps you even watch it every Saturday night religiously.
Which is definitely better than 75% political junk!I am guilty of being a member of too many Camino Facebook pages though. so much so that my newsfeed is 75% Camino related.
Not ever for me, but the only one I've ever considered.Tattoo - not yet
Yes to all but #3 & 10. Even the tattoo thing!
There's quite a few Camino Facebook groups.What an interesting idea....are there other forums?.
And poppies! I couldn’t stop thinking about the Wizard of Oz when I walked through poppies day after day this year!It even follows a trail of yellow.
7/10 and same doubt here. Can I call the Lord of the Rings a Camino movie? There is a trail, a camino family, some lovely places and some questionable accomodations
I'll gladly confess to points 1 to 8. Never fancied tattoos and since discovering the joys of the onsen in Japan - many of which are out-of-bounds to those with tattoos - I will not be doing that. And while that movie is entertaining enough it is not anywhere near as good as the Judy Garland original.
Could only manage 3 out of 10JUST FOR FUN. A TEST TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE A CAMINO JUNKIE: Answer 7 yes and you are a Junkie. Answer 10 with yes and you are a complete obsessed junkie.

1. No 2. No (my caveat though, I live on the Camino near the French/Italian border, so that Camino yellow arrows actually exist here, and I'll count that as 1 point) 3. Yes 4. eh .. yes and no, so ½ point 5. No -- it's always within easy reacheh, so another point 6. No 7. Yes 8. No -- I was helping my mum make good tortilla de patatas loooong before any Caminos, and as for the tinto, it's called rouge in these parts ... but I guess + one more point 9. No 10. No
Total : 6½
eh, still under 7, and that's with bonus points I added myself ...
Oh, you lucky man.
Living on camino.
What a treat.
It is a bit of a Camino film. We all get there by magical or mystical means one way or another—often through natural or personal disasters. The journey seems interminable and through difficulties we perceive as larger than life. Often we find that the scariest parts turn out to be just paper tigers. People that we’d never hang with normally become close companions and actually you help each other during difficult times. You might even find yourself dancing and singing along the way. Very quickly it’s over and you’re on your way back home. You arrive and want to tell everyone what it was like and they give you a patronizing pat and they say it’s nice you’re back. You realize that while you’ve had this transformative experience, the good folks back home will never fully comprehend it. You had this exotic and faraway adventure but you know now that what you may have been seeking through such a journey has always been buried deep within yourself. And somehow people back home strangely take the place now of folks you knew on the Camino. There’s no place like home, it’s true, but somehow… it just doesn’t feel like the end of the story…7/10
It would have been 8 but I can't claim the way as my favourite film.. mind you, my favourite, the Wizard of Oz is kind of a Camino film??
7.5/10 perhaps.
Then there are two of us.IMy only regret is that I wasn't younger when I first became aware of the Camino.
Buen Camino
Three of us.Then there are two of us.
I forgot to say; while I sadly discovered the Camino only in my 50s, I am always happy when I see young people walking: It brings hope that they learn more about our world, reflect, are able to make informed decisions about the rest of their lives, what matters in this short time we live on this Planet, and are able to change course into a better and more valuable future than just being a part of the standard rat race of ordinary life.My only regret is that I wasn't younger when I first became aware of the Camino.
