      2018 - Madrid to Astorga (arriving on Alsa) where I saw my first Camino sign and burst into tears; then walked all the way from Astorga to Murias de Rechivaldo (4.6 km!!!) as I consulted my Brierley every few steps and asked everyone I saw if I...

      My first day on my first Camino in April 2015 I was on "cloud 9" in excitement and enthusiasm, but also had a bit of fear which quickly melted away. I nearly had to "pinch myself" to believe I was actually in SJPdP after daydreaming of going for...

      This is how we came to our first caminho. We were visiting my boss in Madrid in 2012 and he showed us pictures of his first ( and last) camino from SJPDP and immediately and spontaneously I called out “ I am going to do that too ❗️ My wife...

      In comparison to the rest of you my first Camino was the Inglès. I'd first read about the Camino only eight or nine weeks before, and had been training for 7 or 8 weeks. A lot of my gear was new, predominantly because whilst I used to hike I...

      My first Camino was 18 years ago this month. My first day was memorable as the hospitalero at SJPP convinced us to cancel our booking at Orrison. I cried every step into Roncesvalles and that walk almost ruined my entire Camino. Since then...

      This was very much a defining feature of my first Camino. I think it is still present on the Frances, but pushed back a bit because of all of the current pilgrims. Maybe it would be different if I walked in winter, or maybe it was that my focus...

      Been there, done that so many times from SJPdP that I could write a book about that first day....

      Hiking 20 km up to the 1060 meter Ibaneta pass via the Valcarlos route to Roncesvalles the first time in September 2004 at 65 was one of the most difficult days on the Camino and certainly the most physically exhausting day of my adult life then...

      Memories not of the first days, but the first day leaving SdC to Fisterra. We too almost never argue, but that morning we were just at odds with each other. I walked ahead (fuming) into a bar and ordered a coffee. The two men behind the bar had a...

      Our first day on the Camino was a Sunday in March 2014. We started in St. Jean like so many others have. I hadn't been to Europe in nine years and my wife had never been so it was all very exciting and so completely different than any trip...
