Camino Frances (2018)
Thank you everyone who has shared their knowledge and advice as we prepare for our first Camino. We have driven 5 hours to the airport and tomorrow we will board a plane to Sydney. We will change planes there and again at Dubai. We will spend the night in Paris before boarding another plane to Biarritz. From there we will take a cab to Bayonne and get the train to SJPP. So excited as well as feeling incredibly calm at the same time. Unlike the previous weeks where there was almost frantic like packing and repacking and second guessing all travel decisions. Now it’s all coming together and we are finally doing this.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!

It’s begun. You’re on your way.
Buen Camino to you both.

I’m humming Dan Mullins’ new song: ‘Somewhere along the way’ as I write. I’m sure you’ll be singing it before you finish.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
I wish you all a safe, an "Buen Camino". You have already made quite a journey before you begin to walk.

With a shlep like you have to get to SJPP you deserve a great Camino!!!!

I too am humming Dan Mullins tune.

"Will you walk beside me,
will you lead the way,
I hope you find what you're looking for,
somewhere along the way"
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
On the road again...500 miles...hum the tunes and enjoy the experience
