    I have no idea what to say now. Except this: at 11am in Dublin on 28th July 2024 a mass will happen and be transmitted via a streamed link for anyone anywhere in real time. It may also be recorded. You can check whatever online resource to relate...

    I am at the start of Furela, at the first place for a cerveza since Triacastela. Open despite Monday Hooray !! And also a little over half way to Sarria. There was one fairly nasty stretch of steep downhill trail, and I really should have taken...

    I just walked the Camino Francés and I used 100% merino wool long and short sleeve shirts. It was cold at the beginning of my walk and and a few morning walking from Foncebadon. As well, mix in some 33 to 36 C on the Meseta. My merino shirts...

    I am in the Circus - - which once seemed to begin at O Cebreiro, but now clearly starts at Triacastela. Pilgrims have multiplied like loaves and fishes. I decided to stay at the Complexo Xacobeo Albergue for sake of ease. I have the one non...
