    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Norte Trail: Journey Interrupted and Resumed

    I had not planned on my journey from Geneva to SdC, to be completed in sections, taking any more than two calendar years, but the coronavirus disrupted a lot of people's plans, including mine. It's now clear that a trip that started in October 2022 has a better than even chance of earning a...

    LIVE from the Camino Pilgrimage through the Voie Nive Bidassoa: A Winter Adventure

    It's practically a year to the day since I was out on pilgrimage, on a route that began in Geneva and reached SJPP in January 2022. My intention was always, having reached this point, to make my way across to Hendaye and proceed via the Norte to SdC. Originally I'd hoped to do so by following...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Podiensis

    Last October I commenced my first really long route to SdC, starting more or less from outside the front door of the flat in Geneva from whose upstair windows I used wistfully to observe pilgrims commencing their journey. Given work constraints, this will have to be a multi-year project. I was...

    Not-quite-live from the Gebennensis

    Note: As the time-stamps below indicate, these messages are being posted about three weeks in arrears. But the entries were composed contemporaneously, and I haven't edited them. I'll add a new one each day, unless the management requests me to take them down. Friday, October 9 When I lived...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Three-minute video guide: what to do at albergues

    The Association of Municipaliteis of the Camino de Santiago in Spain has created a short video setting out the procedures for staying at albergues in the time of coronavirus. Very helpful, if somewhat daunting. A different world

    Pilgrim numbers on the Invierno

    Having been out on the Invierno this August, a delightfully solitary experience in which I didn't see another peregrino on the trail until the sixth day, I was curious to see what the growth curve was looking like in recent times. So I did a little number-crunching with the Pilgrim Office's...

    LIVE from the Camino The Invierno in summertime

    A couple of months ago, there was a long-running thread on this site discussing what the people at home think when the pilgrims abandon them for rural Iberia. In my own case, this is rarely a consideration. To the contrary, around the beginning of May my nearest and dearest typically begin...

    Live from St Patrick's Way

    My job involves a considerable amount of international travel. Disruptive though this often is to my home life, it does afford me the very occasional opportunity to take a couple of days en route to one assignment or another and put in a little time on pilgrimage. Thus it is that I find myself...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Primitivo

    It's not often at this point in the year that I get any free time, and still less common for me to know in advance that it's coming. A few months ago, though, I received the welcome news that my window of opportunity to take some annual leave might come earlier than usual...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Interior

    I didn't expect to have any free time until the summer of next year at the earliest. Having chalked up one long (Francés) and one short (Portugués Central) pilgrimage, there wasn't an obvious follow-up on the horizon for me in any event. I'd flirted with the notion of taking a crack at the Via...

    Suggestion for a monument

    I don't know whether this has been raised here in the past. It occurred to me, though, that something I'd very much like to see is a monument, or memorial, to those pilgrims who started out for SdC but for one reason or another never made it. A mercifully small number, as we know, die on the...

    Live from the Portugues

    I started the Portugues last night. Having only a week, I elected to do the traditional, if now abbreviated, route from Porto Cathedral to SdC, 260 km or so in total, rather than the new-fangled start-in-Lisbon version. It'll mean a daily average of a bit over 35 km, which was what I was...

    Starting from Porto Cathedral on Sunday Jan. 22--credential?

    Having a week free at the end of January, I'm going to do the Porto-to-Santiago section, and was planning to buy my credential at the cathedral on Sunday morning, January 22, and hear Mass there before my departure. Does anyone happen to know (i) when the shop selling the credential opens on...
