William, to give back...oh, yes...thinking about all the people here who do, in so many ways. Wonderful, how we lift each other up!To be a Good Man and to give back to the path of Stars as is Given.
Perfect, Kanga! So many lessons and reminders here, but this is key.My next one. That's my dream. Go without expectations.
mspath...I can only speak for myself, but know there are many here who share this sentiment: A most heartfelt "May it be so!!!"What I dream now is that it will be so once again
Very true, Robo!'where' is not that relevant
Can we join you, Rev?spending my days sitting at a streetside table with chorizo and good wine -- waving at the peregrinos going by!
I did, and loved the Ecumenical Pilgrims Way in Germany. A bit like the CF as it was many years ago, good pilgrim infrastructure (albergues), well marked ect. I am German, so I had no language issues ;-) As for 'dream camino' that would be Jerusalem, but with the current situation ... Buen Camino, SY

Yes this would be very nice!to walk in Spring and see field after field full of wild flowers, without rain, without mud.
Well...we can pray, SY, we can pray...As for 'dream camino' that would be Jerusalem, but with the current situation ...
My Dream Camino: to walk in Spring and see field after field full of wild flowers, without rain, without mud.
Meri, we're all behind you here, cheering you on! Looks like you and Mspath are in the same boat...My Dream Camino - at the moment - just to be able to walk (one) again.
Where are these, please, Sailor? (I have a very slow browser and can't go to Google maps...)Puerto de Palos (Palos de la Frontera), or El Faro de Chipiona (Sanlucar de Barrameda)
Sitting at a table and waving at the pilgrims going by!!! No, I don't think you would be able to resist joining them!!! Your feet would just have to keep moving methinks!!!My "Dream Camino"? Well, I hope to retire in a few years, and nobody's going to care where I cash my pension check.... I'm enamored of the idea of picking a Camino town and renting a cheap room for a few months, then spending my days sitting at a streetside table with chorizo and good wine -- waving at the peregrinos going by!
Pamplona, Burgos, Leon, all too big. Estella might do. Or Najera. Or Astorga.
Good question by Viranani. Both are located on the Golfo de Cadiz area on the south-western coast of Spain. As a navigation aficionado I would leave from Puerto de Palos (Palos de la Frontera), randevouz with El Camino del Sur at Trigueros, continue to Zafra, and then north on Via de la Plata. On the other route I would leave from El Faro de Chipiona (Sanlucar de Barrameda), randevouz with La Via Augusta at Las Cabezas de San Juan, continue to Sevilla, then north on Via de la Plata. This is just a good dream! Que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.. . . .Where are these, please, Sailor? (I have a very slow browser and can't go to Google maps... . . . )
Sailor, these sound like very old routes, indeed--yes?just as a matter of interest in 2008 a newly built three-mast replica sailing ship made the journey from Waterford to Spain with 29 pilgrims on board.
Ship is called jeannie johnson
These (Palos de la Frontera and Sanlucar de Barrameda) are very old towns with [nautical] historical significance dating back to the Cristopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan days.. . . Sailor, these sound like very old routes, indeed--yes?
Viranani,By a stroke of good fortune, I will be in Europe and have 2 weeks 'free' to walk this spring.
For which I am deeply, deeply, grateful.
But in considering and reading about where to go in this little window of time, I sometimes find myself thinking instead about that perfect camino.. a combination of mountains ( the more the merrier), meseta, authenticity, quiet, comradeship, visigothic and romanesque churches, roman ruins, and celtc roundhouses, places of pilgrimage and silence...
In other words, the mirage of the Camino 'I'd really love to be able to do someday...'
No-one else here does this, right?
Go ahead, prove me wrong...What is your current 'flame'?
Mine is:
Aragones from Pau to Frances at PlR
Frances to Leon
(With a walking side trip at Burgos back and forth to Silos and Santa Maria de Lara),
Salvador to Oveido
Primativo to Melide...
Frances to SdC
I wish there were a way to add the Invierno in, without walking backwards on the Frances...but no doubt some clever soul out there could come up with a way.
Well someday, maybe, I'll have the time and fitness and means to try this. And I'm pretty new at this. Dreams change. If I'm still alive and still hobbling in 20 years (Mspath and Movinmaggie, I hope to follow your examples...), it'll be interesting to see what the daydreams look like then...
Thanks, Don...it is definitely on the to do someday list, even more so after reading your post. But not 2016. Someday when it I can walk a little later than March so that I can also walk to Oviedo from Leon (alas, that will mean the Frances will be more crowded...I guess you can't have everything)The Aragones is absolutely lovely, I started in Oloron which a short train ride from Pau.
Exactly why I posted this thread...that wouldn't have occurred to me in 1000 years, and it's a great idea. You'd be blindfolded on the way there, I suppose?My dream Camino would is to be dropped off somewhere in Spain and find my way to a Camino, any Camino and walk to Fisterre.
To firstly
Set foot upon Spainish earth.
To
Walk without tiring
To
Not feel my aching bones
To
See many hills..and valleys
To
Look forward to the morning
To
Look back satisfied
To taste the wine, eat pulpo and laugh in the sun
To
Speak of the deeper things
Of the lighter things
To laugh
To cry
To listen fully...
To walk from Rome to Santiago
From Geneva to Finesterre
To see my departed friend in his Beloved Emerald Isle.to pay respect to his tended Beflowered mound.
To be a Good Man and to give back to the path of Stars as is Given.
