      Wow! Thank you so much Jill. That's incredibly high praise coming from you :) Allow me.... Its been a little over 3 weeks now since my last day on the Camino de Santiago & in the space of that time, the memory & the mourning for being back on...

      I searched for an existing thread like this and although I found a few that mention the camino spirit, I didn't find one where different people explained what it meant to them. The spirit of the camino is a feeling experienced on the trail that...

      Don't be afraid. You can do this on your own, as have millions of pilgrims before you, with much more "rustic" accommodations. May I ask why you want to go with a travel agency? Are you looking for someone to just plan (as you wrote) your trip...

      KiwiJohn reacted to topochines2012's post in the thread Death on the trail today with Sad Sad.
      We were about 45 minutes from O Cebreiro today and we came upon a group performing CPR. We called emergency but no ambulance came and over an hour later a helicopter showed up but it was too late. I don’t have any details beyond that but it...

      KiwiJohn reacted to wisepilgrim's post in the thread Introducing the Forum Camino Planner with Thank you Thank you.
      The Camino Planner As the click-clack of walking sticks fades here in Santiago, the tap-tap of my keyboard picks up with exciting changes planned for 2025. Earlier this summer, we published the complete content of the Wise Pilgrim guides here...

      I wasn't sure whether to pist this in Equipment (lacing technique) or here (inflamed and swollen foot). Here is what I ended up with. As people who have been following my "Live from the Camino Torres" thread know, I've been having some foot...
