Great article! As a former hardcore Punk ( those pictures have all been destroyed…so don’t ask) I found the intro hilarious.
If any counterculture trend is to develop, please God let it involve us putting our phones away and going for a long, long, walk.
To echo off the ideas of the benefits of...
So this whole thread is not about cyclists at all.
It is about riding the Camino paths by motorcycle. If it is a two-wheeled cycle with a motor attached to the drive chain, it is a motorcycle. Whether the motor is powered by gasoline, electricity or cold fusion is irrelevant. It is a...
The Camino has changed me forever. Actually physically walking the Camino has occupied perhaps 1% of my time, but now occupies 20% of all my conversations, to the annoyance of those who know me and haven't walked the Camino. The rest of you get it. ;)
Well played. But that did remind, I loved that Garcia Marquez book, mind you I read it about a hundred years ago as well. I might need to revisit that. Off topic to this thread (but related to good books) I hate the post-Internet brain that I have now, with its' shortened attention span. I used...
I think that this is a very good thread, as it has people evaluating and articulating their beliefs. People, in fact, can have different ideas, or takes, and not be the Devil. I will confess that I found the constant refrain of the "Camino provides" from some more than a little irritating for a...
I am far, far, from the right person to be wading in about matters of faith. My principle function life seems to be to serve as a cautionary to others, on how not to spend ones' days. That caution aside, Communion on the Camino seems quite beautiful. In this video (below trailer) a Catholic...
When you're in Spain go to the next Decathlon in your travels and get this poncho, you will not regret it.

It is in the same design pattern as the Altus, arms, huge pit...
Looks like a good way to guarantee that you’d walk the Camino alone.
It is a hard shell, so it doesn’t fold up, can’t be put in a pocket or otherwise ‘travel’ well. It actually doesn’t even provide good sun coverage, which is the primary purpose of a Camino hat.
Sunday Afternoon has nice light...
Two thumbs up for the bibimbap at Albergue Orion. It was SUCH a relief from the seemingly never-ending diet of “Camino fries”…formerly known as French fries, a formal name change is in the works.
The Koreans I met were walking alone, or in twos or threes. All made great walking companions and...
Hello,
I am in Canada and Decathlon Canada (and USA from what I see) carry only a fraction of the stock that Decathlons in Spain or France do, even of their of “company” brands like Quechua/Forclaz, etc. I have emailed the Canadian Decathlon, but they have not been overly helpful, essentially...
I am entering Biarritz 6:30pm August 19 by AF, so will be taking Express Bouricott. Not my first choice of schedule but I was sort of hemmed in the airline. I am hoping that there will be others at that time, otherwise I'll be taking a big hit.
If I read the travel times correctly on Rome2Rio...
