I just heard from José Luis of the Via Lusitana that they have opened a pilgrim office in Lisbon. It only opens in the afternoons — every day, from 2:30 PM to 6:00 PM. It is a small room in the Igreja da Conceição Velha (Rua da Alfândega...
I’m just back from a two-part Camino. The Via Serrana from Gibraltar to Sevilla, and then the Invierno from Ponferrada. I am experiencing the standard post-camino letdown, so I thought I’d reflect a bit.

Day 24 - Vilalba to Baamonde
So wet! We missed a marker and got lost… but then decided to stay “lost” and follow the N-634 all the way since the rain was coming down hard and the trail was very muddy.
Day 21 - Tapia to Ribadeo
Nice and easy day today - short and flat with some lovely views. 14 km worked fine and my feet did not try to kill me in the end. So, some rest days now, and than of on a snail Camino the last 9-10 days.
Day 20 - Navia to Tapia
Rain, rain and more rain. The last 7 km my feet screamed no with every step. So new plan. Tomorrow a short day to Ribadeo, stay there an extra night. Than buss to Villalba and just short 10-15 km stages to Santiago. Hope...

Great to be there - then. Wish really wish I was.
As it is, I am sitting in a hospital, in Washington DC, next to my wife. I have been her 24 x 7 caregiver since last April - 2023.
She has been here for one week. I took a hotel near by so I...
