  I've never felt the need during my 8 Caminos. All of my valuables are in a cross body bag that only comes off when I'm showering or sleeping, and I bring it into the shower area and it is in my sleep sack with me at night.

  I asked the tourist office for information about the statue of the pilgrim at the entrance to Carrión de los Condes. Here is their reply. auto-translated: "The Monument to the Pilgrims" is a sculpture that was made by Carlos Díez Galán in 2005...

  I read this with interest. As a Pilgrim Office volunteer, I have had to escort women to the Civil Guard offices in Santiago to report attempted assaults on the Camino on the way into Santiago. I can verify that the premise of the article is true...

  Well, since the OP is not reading replies, I will make one. How about nobody feeds this troll? I can assure everyone that the hospitalero referred to in the OP (moderator´s edit to remove indentifying details) is not a murderer. This poor OP is...

  I do not want to be too negative about the concept of communal meals but they can be sometimes tiring and intimidating. Something to take into consideration. As an introvert I cringe at the idea of those meals where you have to introduce...

  I do so love an honest post, how brave you are, to be so open - good for you! - Emma, I think you will find that many pilgrims have similar feelings to you. To add to that tension (anxiety?) starting Camino is very much the same feeling as the...
