Hi and Welcome!

This discussion board is meant to be a forum where past visitors (pilgrims?) and future visitors can meet and share their experiences related to Santiago de Compostela. There are mainly two groups of people that travel to Santiago, pilgrims and tourists. This board is meant for both types of visitors, the board is about Santiago de Compostela, no matter how you got here you will have something interesting to share.

Let me introduce myself: My name is Ivar Rekve and I live here. I am originally from Norway, but meet my Galician wife in the USA and now we have settled down just a few minutes outside this beautiful town of Santiago de Compostela.

About my pilgrim experience: I have not done El Camino so on expert advice on what to bring and what to wear, I might not be much help. But on topic related to the city of Santiago de Compostela I might be able to give you the information you are looking for.

There are not too many sites about Santiago in English; I believe this is the first.

Welcome and enjoy!

Ivar Rekve

    Thread 'I contracted Scabies on the Camino Frances in September 2024!!'

    I completed walking the Camino Frances, from SJPD, on October 3rd, 2024. After returning home a doctor confirmed (on Oct 7th.) that I had contracted scabies. I had noticed that I had acquired a rash on my hand a few days prior to completing my walk and initially I attributed it to brushing against something like stinging nettles, however, as the rash didn't disappear but subsequently spread, to my arms, buttocks, legs, etc. and became very itchy I suspected I had scabies, thus the doctors...

    Thread 'Duplicate posts'

    Ivar updated the forum software today (there was an announcement about that) and there are still some minor issues to be worked out.

Your content remains in the post editing portion of the page. All indications are that you should try again. But really it has posted. So when you try again, you post it a second time creating a duplicate (or...

    Thread 'Anyone having problems replying to private messages'

    Just wondered if I'm the only person having problems with replying to private messages? I tried to respond to messages and I'm getting an error message. It says something like oops something went wrong and then it turns out it posted my message a whole bunch of times 😂. My attempts to apologize and not seem like a kook have resulted in more error messages 😂
