    Abandoned elderly pilgrims

    Every group has their own dynamic, I think this should be discussed beforehand. Walking speeds, what do you want to get out of the experience, do you want to have some alone time to think while walking, how do we communicate, what do we do in an emergency, etc. I would have this conversation way...

    LIVE from the Camino Hugo goes to Finisterre (September '24)

    Thank you all for the kind words 🙏 @Cicada @BarbaraW @LeslieC @Kekaa @Gringazolana @bullingtonce @Flog It was my pleasure! I really enjoyed writing this. I keep a paper journal, and often record ideas while walking using the voice memo app. However, I find that there is something about having...

    LIVE from the Camino Hugo goes to Finisterre (September '24)

    Day 5: Fisterre to Santiago - Reentry. I don't know why I did this to myself 🙃 100% my fault. I have a ticket to the 10:34am AVE to Madrid, I am meeting my best friend from high school in Madrid. However, I also mailed my iPad and stuff I didn't need for the Camino to Ivar and...

    Day 4: Cee to Finisterre, 16 km It's hard to explain ADHD to someone that doesn't have it. Imagine knowing exactly WHAT you have to do, knowing HOW to do it, WHEN to do it, you can even write an essay or teach a class about the thing you HAVE to do, but your body won't cooperate...

    Day 3: Lago to Cee, 24.6 km My brain hurts from code switching in 3 languages. I'll make this quick (or not, we'll see). Woke up fortified by hospitality with a capital H @ 5:45. Why do people use their phone flashlights to orient themselves around Albergues? It's like they don't know about...

    LIVE from the Camino Hugo goes to Finisterre (September '24)

    2nd day. Negreira to Lago (Albergue Monte Aro), 27ish km. Woke up to a snoring concert around 4am 😅 turned out I had front row tickets to it. That dude sounded like a pressure cooker 2 octaves deep. I couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided to start my day. I left my backpack ready so I just...

    LIVE from the Camino Hugo goes to Finisterre (September '24)

    There is something special about cities waking up. Double special if that city is Santiago de Compostela. Around 6:30am I saw people walking to work, a family of 4 sightseeing and taking pictures already (they were probably jet lagged) and about half a dozen peregrinos making their way to...

    My experience walking in September 2024

    Indeed! I was so grateful for my hiking poles. Those views were worth the climb up though. I was also very grateful that someone had left a table full of apples on top of the hill with a donation box. I grabbed one and I can still remember that green apple flavor. Those acts of kindness go a...

    My experience walking in September 2024

    Just finished walking Ingles from Ferrol with my Wife. We did it in 5 days and arrived in Santiago on September 5th. FANTASTIC experience. I look forward to doing this route again someday. We knew September is part of the high season, but we wanted to spend my birthday and our anniversary...

    Excessive heat

    Pretty much everything that's been said will help. I did Portugués in 2022 in May and it got up to 35°C some days. I would start early, run my buff through the water fountain and stretch it to cover my neck and top of my head. I got into a rhythm of walking for 2 hours and taking a 10...

    Portuguese Central Day 1 Very Few Pilgrims

    +1 on that. That's what I did when I walked from Porto to Santiago in 2022. Btw, Barcelos was one of my favorite places in all of Portugal. I ended up going back a year later with my Wife. Such a neat town. Ponte de Lima and Redondela were beautiful too. I am biased since it was my first...
