    LIVE from the Camino Struggling to continue

    "Do you mind if I join you?" is one of the most powerful questions on the Camino and very rewarding. Many other great suggestions here as well. Buen Camino!

    Favor to ask, I can't make this showing due to a previous flight arrangement. Wonder if someone might capture the high points of the discussion and put them on the forum? Would be most appreciative, thanks! Rick

    COVID COVID Notice for staying in hotels and restaurants in Portugal

    Thanks for all the great responses and information. Looks like right now I can get into Portugal on the Camino but daily trekking with an armful of tests does not seem like much fun. I'm sure most people will be somewhat distanced (physically and socially) making for different Camino...

    COVID COVID Notice for staying in hotels and restaurants in Portugal

    I just received a notice from a albergue that I booked for my upcoming trip to Portugal (plan on the central route from Porto). I did some checking on the US Embassy site and here is the regulation. Hotels, Guesthouses, and airBnBs: mandatory submission of an EU Digital Certificate or a...

    Sorry, referring to the Pilgrims. General population of Spain is a different matter.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Is there a conversation in Spain about a tourism reset

    One man's (or woman's) "de-massing" is another man's lost business. Spain has been a poor country for many years, though the EU has brought some relief over the past few decades. As for the Camino, lets not get too fixated on one person and their backpack and albergue. We fly into the...

    RIP @Dorpie (Rob)

    I roomed with Rob (Dorpie). at St Jean. Jack, another forum member was also in our room at the Albergue. At breakfast before heading out the door for the first stage, I had a picture taken at the breakfast table. Rob is against the wall. He was a great guy. God Bless him and his family.

    RIP @Dorpie (Rob)

    I started today on the Camino Frances. At the Albergue in Roncesvalles a man in his bed was unresponsive to medical care. By coincidence I met some people who first tried to revive him with CPR. It was a very sad day for all involved. I have no other details. God bless him and his family.

    Great video log of Camino Frances

    Just finished watching all the episodes of this Vlog on the Camino on YouTube by a guy named Efren. Spring 2018. About 10 min per episode which is one day on the Camino. I found it entertaining and interesting with some great drone footage along the way.

    A question about last 100km

    This is a difficult issue. The essence of the Camino is a journey. A journey in which to appreciate and contemplate, sometimes spiritual sometimes not. What is proper length of such a journey? Second, we know that many towns along The Way derive much from their location and have done much to...
