    Tension between spontaneity & planning

    I travel without phone, just follow the arrows. I don't buy anything special for the camino. I am not going up the Kilimanjaro or Everest. The camino for me is a long quiet hike with a bed in an albergue at night, cafés and restaurants and occasionally shops on the way. My normal clothes are...

    Packing list and shoes for October/November Camino Frances

    For weather you can expect anything between 8 degrees in the morning to as high as low 30´s... definitely not sandals at this time though.

    Flora and Fauna of Camino Frances

    You could read Jason Penner’s delightful book: The Way of the Gardener. One of my favourite camino books.

    Camino de San Salvador

    I would love to do the Camino de San Salvador which is only about a week through the most spectacular scenery. I have walked the Camino Frances many times with others and on my own but hesitate to do this one on my own as I tend to be absent-minded and I miss arrows. Looking for someone to walk...

    Foncebadon!!!

    There are other places that have blossomed like Foncebadón. In her book What The Psychic told the Pilgrim, Jane Christmas talks about the dismal pub and its owner in Redecilla. Since the publication of her book, that dismal place, now a pub/one-star hotel has been purchased by Lourdes who runs...

    Picking grapes from vineyards along the way

    I have a Spanish friend who lives in an orange growing area. She informed me that it is totally acceptable for a person passing by to pick one orange and eat it. It is NOT ok for that same person to pick many oranges. I wonder (and please NOT opinions, but if someone actually KNOWS) is it ok to...

    Nearly Half a Million on the Frances....but....

    there are also those like me who walk it, don't register at St-Jean and don't get a compostela because they have already done it and got one compostela.

    no toilet paper in washroom

    btw someone gave me a good trick for showers. Save the disposable pillowcase from the night before and use it as a mat for your feet after your shower.

    no toilet paper in washroom

    I hesitated before posting this. I have often heard about frustrated washroom users who noticed too late that the toilet paper roll or dispenser was empty. My suggestion: When someone uses the last piece of paper on the roll, put the toilet seat down and place the empty roll on top to warn the...

    Cab sharing from Pamplona to SJPP on April 29th

    If you don't find someone to share with online, when you arrive at the Pamplona airport, you will see other pilgrims (or perhaps if you are flying in, you will spot them in the departure lounge at your departing point - very easy to spot!) and you can ask them to share. Taxis are always waiting...

    Book Recommendations

    Not to mention your Furnace Full of God, Rebekah, which I fully enjoyed twice! I also loved Walk in a Relaxed Manner. Although it was written a long, long time ago, it still resonates. Actually, I think it resonates even more.
