Camino Francis June 2018
I had posed the question about being Jewish and keeping kosher on the Camino. Thanks to all of you who responded. I just finished. Actually, as I write, I’m drinking a glass of Spanish wine in a cafe in the old town. I found absolutely no trouble in keeping kosher. I mostly ate out of grocery stores and picnicked along the way. Keeping kosher was no problem.

On to another question. The trip was absolutely amazing. However the arrival into the Cathedral square with the tour groups, giagantic bus lines shuttling tourists in and out, and to top it off three continuous “tourists trains.” I get it, it’s a tourist economy. But in my moment of completion it was not what I was expecting.

I finished up on a great note however. I just returned from Fisterra. That was the perfect end and excellent beginning to my post Camino. Buen Camino to all. I hope to return next year. -Gigi
 
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.
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.
So many wonderful reasons to walk the Camino... all of us heading for Santiago with big expectations, only to arrive and there we find the message... it was all about the journey. ¡Camino Bendito!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
