    I guessed your emojis meant Strawberry Fields (Forever) so I was thinking about 🪲🪲🪲🪲 🤦‍♂️

    Weird Shell

    Well you nailed it! It is indeed an elephant footprint sculpture in front of the José Saramago Foundation in Lisbon (which is also an interesting historic palace in its own right, the Casa dos Bicos), commemorating the author/book. It's interesting for pilgrims because Saramago's birthplace...

    Proboscis monkey maybe!

    Or not! Just for fun, anyone want to guess what this is, and why it's on the ground in a camino city? P.S. If you already know the answer, maybe give a hint or two but not spoilers!

    Camino Planning with Chat GPT - Hmmmm

    More related to staging than AI, and I know you have walked some of this at the end of your Invierno, but I wouldn't stay in Silleda or Bandeira as to me they are uninteresting, modern towns with no appeal beyond practicalities. I like off-stage, rural options in the last 100km of virtually...

    Skipping a day

    Sounds like accommodation is pre-booked.

    Can I Walk the Camino Without a Smartphone?

    How about just deleting the apps in bold? Then you remove those distractions but can still take advantage of the other smartphone benefits you mentioned.

    Sunrises and Sunsets

    Three of each from me: Sunrises: 1. The church of São João da Ventosa (‘St John of the Winds’ or similar) in the corn fields outside Azinhaga, Portugal - CP. 2. Sunrise in Olvera on the Vía Serrana. 3. Sunrise over the church in Mértola, one of my favourite towns on the Caminho Nascente. Inside...

    Pilgrims Stamp in Pamplona

    If a bull gorges your credential it counts as a stamp, so just bring it with you when you run but make sure to open it to the right page.

    Best Route for only 5 days

    The Inglés begins at Ferrol, so that's a complete camino. The Portuguese starts further back, at Porto or even Lisbon, so starting from Tui makes it 'incomplete'. These are largely arbitrary and modern starting points anyway so you don't have to read much or anything into it if you don't want to.

    Best Route for only 5 days

    If it is, my last 100km suggestion is always the Portuguese + Variante Espiritual. A five-day plan could look like this: 1. Tui-Mos 23km 2. Mos-Pontevedra 29.4km 3. Pontevedra-Armenteira 20.5km 4. Armenteira-Vilanova de Arousa 23.7km 5. Vilanova-Santiago Boat + 27.2km

    What Do You Regret?

    Sounds like you made up for it and then some!

    What Do You Regret?

    I also did neither of those! Eunate is a regret but it was the end of the stage and it was early in our first camino, so we were pretty wrecked (and Wendy was dealing with PF but didn’t know it yet). We will definitely visit on a future Francés/Aragonés. For Samos, we wanted to take the other...

    How Much Should You Budget Per Day?

    Overthinking this thing.

    Amazing story, thank you!

    Overthinking this thing.

    Your mother-in-law walked the camino before 1990? That’s fantastic. Is there anything you can you tell us about it?

    Polar Steps vs Find Penguins?

    Find Penguins, how well you know me!

    Suggest a route

    If you’re worried about October being too late in the season for walking, why not start walking straight away in mid-September and save the tourism until afterwards?
