Busy in the bars of Spain
I well remember on my first camino being in Portomarín on 27 May 2009, demurely locked inside the municipal by 10pm, in stifling heat, hearing outside a happy crowd cheering on Barça to beat ManU 2-0 in the Champions League final. The celebrations went on for a l-o-n-g time. Being from...- timr

Cammino Retico
I cannot speak for the OP, but I don't think of that as a hijack :) - more like organic growth. And thanks for that. 👍 -
Cammino Retico
I have always liked the Terre di Mezzo guides which I used initially in Italian. Good to see that they continue to work on English versions. Long ago (well in 2018) they had the guide to the second half of Francigena as an interactive app, (not just a pdf), but they abandoned that as an idea... -
A personal objective. Help needed.
I made some enquiries about travelling from Cyprus to Israel by sea a couple of years ago which were not encouraging. No regular ferry. There was the 'possibiity' of finding a cruise ship, but that seems highly unlikely now. And I guess would be expensive. There was also discussion on...- timr

A personal objective. Help needed.
Hello @andonius Very interesting. I had hoped to get to Jerusalem in 2020 but the coming of the pandemic and some more domestic complications have interrupted that. And now I am 70. I walked from Canterbury to Rome then to Brinidisi and eventually Santa Maria di Leuca. As you say the exact...- timr

@ivar I remember in 2009 Ivar's 'office' was on the right as you came towards the Cathedral on 'final approach'. The Camino Travel Centre? I posted on some 'stuff' there and also Ivar booked me into the 25 Julio hotel in SdC - I didn't know the significance of the date at that time - and also a...- timr

LIVE from the Camino On the Camino de Madrid!
@Bachibouzouk Really very happy that you made it to La Santa Espina. I would have been disappointed if you missed it! Interesting to hear about the village - which I didn't visit as I was in the monastery for a couple of hours and wanted to keep going. The detail about the Nueva Colonizacion...- timr

Albergue in Manzanares el Real
I stayed with Ray y Rosa in 2017, still in their own house then, shortly before they opened their "cabana" and it was a lovely experience. Very interesting to chat with, very kind and hugely enthusiastic. They rang ahead for me to my next stop and came walking with me the next morning for the...- timr

Francigena in southern Italy
It is not too far! 30 days Rome to Brinidisi. After that I continued into Albania and North Macedonia and onward (planning to get to Jerusalem which has not happened yet). That was 2018. But I always wanted to finish the road so I returned and walked from Matera to Brindisi and oward from...- timr

Camino Aragonês notes and observations April '24
@Flog Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to give this really useful report. This is the sort of thing the forum excels at, not (whisper)......bedbugs, snoring and blisters ;). I walked from Lourdes up to SJPdP a long time back in 2009 and have always hankered to go back again and...- timr

LIVE from the Camino On the Camino de Madrid!
The more i read this and other accounts of CdM the more I feel that I need to go back. As I have often said, I don't think I have a favourite route, but if I did, I think it would be the CdM. There is something pleasingly compact and solitary about it and really every day is rather different...- timr

Francigena in southern Italy
Yes I have walked from Rome to Santa Maria de Leuca. Many fewer people.Quite a number of variants along the way. You can choose how soon to reach the coast.You could take in Monte Sant Angelo for instance. Waymarking and infrastructure slowly but steadily increasing I can see. (I walked in 2018...- timr

Just to add that I got in touch with them to ask a few questions on FB messenger and they responded quickly and enthusiastically. It looks like another interesting endeavour to develop new camino/cammino-like walks, such as we have discussed here before - Magna Via Francigena in Sicily, Cammino... -
The case for preserving the descent into Zubiri.
@Peregrinopaul Thanks for the information and I hope you will be able to get the book out soon. The illustrations and explanations look extremely well done. Slightly tangentially - Does anyone know what the stretch from Castrojeriz to Alto de Mostelares was like before, I guess, it was...- timr

It looks very interesting on the site. I have never before seen insurance included in the "package" with the credential. €80,000 for death or invalidity and € 200 for a fracture. You get this if you join the association. Assicurazione Ma la cosa forse più importante è che sarete assicurati...
