    Pairing an apple watch w/ Spanish SIM card

    Before I go down the rabbit hole of searching tech sites, checking in here to see if anyone has experience on Camino with pairing an apple watch with their phone after installing a SIM card purchased in Spain, Portugal, etc. If so, did you encounter problems either while on Camino or after...

    May/June/July Norte experiences re: weather, etc.

    Good day. I'm zeroing in on dates for Camino next summer (Camino Norte from Irun then Primitivo then the SdC to Muxia to Finisterre circuit). It will be either mid-May through the first week of July, or June through July. I've done my due diligence on the board through searches, but didn't find...

    Help with identification of a monument on the CF

    Asking for some help to identify a monument between beside the road from Agés to Atapuerca at the intersection of the road most pilgrims walk (BU-V-7012) and Camino de Fresno de Rodilla. I've done a google search to no avail (most likely because of my limited search terms). Posted below are a...

    Finding unexpected freedom on Camino

    I didn't realize it until I had walked for 10+ days, but not getting behind the wheel of an auto for a long period removed an enormous chunk of stress from my life (it seems many drivers where I live are wannabe assassins trying to take out as many people as possible). It has become one of my...

    Turning lemons into lemonade

    It's possible for a crisis to lead to positive change(s) in our lives, whether in the form of course changes/course corrections or by forcing us to just be still, let things settle, and get a new or clearer point of view. For me, it is deciding to return to college nearly three decades after I...

    Senda Litoral between Esposende and Viana do Castelo

    Are the boardwalks/path on this section of the Senda Litoral completed now? I searched the forum and found a thread from 2018 that indicated the boardwalks were not completed at that time. I ask because the Wisely+ map in the app shows a complete Litoral route (red dots) after the crossing of...

    Unexpected adventure on Rio Miño

    When I set out from Âncora to Caminha a few days ago, my knee (3x surgically repaired) was causing trouble. As I was considering my options for getting to Valencia/Tui, I came upon an advertisement for canoeing up the Rio Miño to my destination. When I woke that morning by the sea, I had no...

    I'll Push You: Accessible Camino

    The duo from the "I'll Push You" book and movie, Justin Skeesuck and Patrick Gray, announced yesterday that they are going back to the Camino in 2019. Their goal is to take some people with limited mobility (and caregivers/helpers) to take on the last 100k of the CF. If you know someone who has...

    Request for a photo

    I'm wondering if anyone can either share or can take a photo of a couple of small signs between Hornillos del Camino and Hontanas. I don't remember the intent/info on signs but I do remember that graffiti was scrawled on them saying "go home." I didn't think to take a photo of one or both at...

    What is Camino?

    After eight days on the CF, I am now home, arriving last night after nearly 24 hours of bus rides and flights. My Parkinson's brain and legs couldn’t seem to connect on a consistent basis on this Camino. At the rate I was walking, I would’ve completed the trek to Santiago de Compostela sometime...

    If you happen to see a Radio Flyer while on Camino ...

    A few days ago, I was prepping stuff for the Camino when my granddaughter asked me what I was doing. Me: I'm getting my stuff ready to go to Spain (while lifting her up to show her the map of the Camino on the wall). Granddaughter: Spain? Spain! I want to go with you. Me: I'm sorry, baby...

    Carrying a DSLR camera on Camino

    The Caminos are a feast for anyone who loves photography. I've relied on my phone camera while on previous Caminos, but want to focus more on photography while on the next one (Sept/Oct '18, CF). I will be carrying a DSLR, and want a stable attachment device for a backpack that also offers...

    People w/ Parkinson's on the CF

    I'm thinking about possibly leading a group of people with Parkinson's disease (including spouse/sig other/caregiver if they want) to walk the last 11 stages (11-12 days, 257.4 km or 160 miles) of the CF from Astorga to Santiago de Compostela in September 2019. By that time, I will be a 3x...

    The Camino Calm

    Hello pilgrims! I’ve thought about writing this post more than once since returning from the Camino (Frances) last November, but life gets busy and other things take precedence after returning to daily life. It’s a little lengthy, but my hope is that it will help someone in a tangible way. I...

    A few questions re: 1980s Camino Francés

    Camino historians & those with experience: I ask for some help with a project. I am exploring the possibility of writing a novel in which walking the Camino is a major part of the story. I started my research here by using the forum search function, and found some interesting threads/info...
