Thank you.
I walked a first time Camino Francis this April May 2024 from Saint Jean to Santiago. Very few times passed without the why Camino or what Camino question coming up with other Pilgrims and locals. Personally I was walking with reasons... -

Are we sure that we are as separated from the humans from the past as we think? As if base and basic motivations have changed. They probably "migrated"? temporarily toward Santiago de Compostela for the same reasons as today...minus all the...

Woah! Roman roads were already very old in the 1400s!! As were the Pre-Romanesque chapel in Oviedo (started in 796) and the Church of Santa María del Naranco and the Church of San Miguel de Lillo in the same city - and even the Romanesque church...

So like, I snore sometimes. I pretty much stay in private accommodation every night on the camino as to avoid disturbing others (wink). Now I've developed my own criteria for evaluating camino hotels/pensions: 1. Is it clean? They almost all...

You’re not asking in the right place. You’ll get some variously- informed replies (the Papasol above for example is a fine place and exceeded my expectations whenever I’ve stayed, but it’s 2* at best) You would do better to look for one of the...

Pilgrim 9 (posting # 45) alludes to a very workable option. For example, if you start at an accommodation you like, walk a comfortable distance then taxi back to start point then the next morning taxi to the point you stopped at and again walk...
