  1. Silencio Por Favor

    Not related to the Camino in any way . . .

    I would say that this "thread" has me "in stiches", but I won't.
  2. Silencio Por Favor

    Walked the Camino over 12 times to Santiago never once went into Cathedral.

    Interesting question that you are asking yourself. For me I would recommend anyone to experience the pilgrim's mass regardless of any beliefs or none. Do you think that you will go next time?

    Pilgrimage in the US?

    Cicerone has a guide regarding California Mission Trail. To be honest I have not read this seeing as I am not planning this trail, but would be curious to see what it has to say. Good luck whatever ever path you take.

    Selling fully stamped credentials for €30

    Is it possible the people who buy these are tourists who really do not know the genuine reason for deserving a Compostela? The tourist thinks "I have paid 30 euros therefore I can get meaningful souvenir along with a fridge magnet".

    Selling fully stamped credentials for €30

    Thanks, gives me a idea how to earn a few Euros. Seriously, my thoughts like everyone else, why?

    What Guides are people using?

    I used Brierley's for Ingles back in 2018. I like having something to put on the bookshelf when I get home. Coming to think about it I collect dust 🙄

    After the camino

    I like what you wrote. I certainly believe your/our Camino is ongoing simply by being on this forum community.

    After the camino

    Volunteering? Okay, maybe taking this lighthearted subject to seriously. A positive sense of helping someone and ideally being appreciated for it. Of course just time killing until the next Camino.

    Becoming a Pilgrim

    Not sure with regard to your time constraints, maybe not a bad idea to start the pilgrimage in Pamplona? Wishing you all the best with how this positive adventure works out.

    Camino by skateboard?

    As you have probably seen recently the citizens of Barcelona spraying tourists due to sheer numbers affecting housing costs, availability. I can imagine you spraying numerous people from Sarria to Santiago saying "pilgrim go home ".

    Camino by skateboard?

    I would suggest the Ingles from A Coruna, the ferry there is a "roll on, roll off".

    American Discovery Trail - Across Northern and Southern Indiana

    Nice to see a town to town walk in North America. No doubt you know it is predominantly wilderness hikes here.

    Making the most out of Inglés

    As others have said, 3 days is certainly not the norm for the distance. I guess if you walk 12 hour days it becomes more viable. Anyway do not miss the Pilgrims mass and good luck.

    Crazy things people do in the last 100 km

    They are obviously not seeking a Compostela. It would be hard to get a stamp at 3AM.
  15. Silencio Por Favor

    Does anyone know of any shorter pilgrimage routes around the world?

    Lourdes in Southern France and Fatima in Portugal are definitely options. These are also sign posted therefore have the infrastructure for Pilgrims. Good luck whatever you choose.
  16. Silencio Por Favor

    Is the Ingles Social or Solitary?

    Done the Ingles in August 2018 with my with and daughter. We struck up conversation with a few people.
  17. Silencio Por Favor

    Planning: New to El Camino with 6yo kid (which route is best?)

    I suggest visiting Gronze.com because it covers numerous routes a gives distances between places to stay which sounds like a relevant factor considering that your daily walking distances may be slightly limited.

    Diversity on the Camino

    As for national stereotypes, as a Brit in the 80s I could be tagged as a football hooligan/lager lout on the other side of the English Channel, but at the same tome on the other side of the Atlantic more likely to be a distant cousin of the Royal Family.

    Diversity on the Camino

    For me the question "where are you from" is fine if the other person has an accent and it's a token comment in a conversation vibe. I would also be asking as an immigrant myself seeing as I am Brit living in Canada.
  20. Silencio Por Favor

    Diversity on the Camino

    A couple of people noted having financial freedom to walk. If the population of Latin America and Philippines had this freedom us Caucasians would quite possibly be the minority walking.
