    Can I Walk the Camino Without a Smartphone?

    I say do it! Leave that smartphone at home. My first Camino Frances in 2013 I walked without a phone. I had a cannon camera and Brierly's guide. Many other pilgrims had phones with them and at times I felt lonely in the evenings at the Albergue's because their faces were in their phones. This...

    Another Boring Kit Thread

    Yes, yes, this is the goal. I was told by my fellow pilgrims whom I ran into in the afternoons. When did you leave? Never a peep. 🤫 It's fun to challenge yourself. How quiet can I be today? Good for you for teaching this very important Albergue etiquette. I hope you had good students. :cool:👣🌻...

    Another Boring Kit Thread

    Good Ol' ex-SoCal Valley girl here - Like OMG - gag me with a spoon!! 🤣 I love the slang from other parts of the world. It makes life more fun and interesting. @Mzlaidlaw One of the perks of being male on the Camino, a very simple kit. It will be hot, I did my last Camino in 2019 during this...

    A new departure for me, Barcelona.

    Yes, the description says it is a few minutes from the Barcelona Port and I can walk just about 20 minutes to a sandy beach. The Las Ramblas is very close leaving me excited to explore the many cafes and restaurants. Thanks for the tip on pickpockets and scam artists. Sometimes we get caught up...

    A new departure for me, Barcelona.

    How did I know you'd be so quick to respond. 😁 Thank you. Can you tell me though. Am I right with the train from Logrono arriving so late in the evening? I really want to avoid this if possible. Thanks for your reply and I hope you're enjoying your time. Buen Camino! 😎👣🌻

    A new departure for me, Barcelona.

    Here's the dealeo. 😁 Instead of my usual departure city back to the US of A from Paris. I am now coming home from Barcelona. I've done my due diligence in searching how to get from Logrono to Barcelona. Here's where I need advice, experience, other options?. I'll be leaving on a Sunday from...

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    No need to apologize, fun story. Honestly though, back in 1982 the only kiwi I knew of was the fruit in the grocery store, so yes we stand in lines, not queues. And technically, the naughty pilgrims cut the line, they didn’t jump it. 😂 😎👣🌻

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    Perhaps but I’m sure it didn’t say anything about all Germans not knowing how to wear clothing while in public. The post I was replying to referred that Americans don’t know how to queue, not used to doing so. This based on their accents, not even fact. 😎👣🌻

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    The answer to your question is in my post. Making a point, there is no need to stereotype anywhere, especially on this forum. I haven’t read anything negative about Germans or the Irish, Aussies or Canadians, not even Koreans, or the local Spanards. But Americans are fair game?? NO!! It needs...

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    You’re right, not racist. Thank you for the word that escaped me. Stereotyping. I’m not offended either but rather tired of Americans getting dragged through the mud because of a few classless individuals. Can the finger pointing stop? I’ve witnessed bad behavior from other non-Americans but I...

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    It’s always unfair to single out any group because of a few bad apples. Seems a bit racist like stereotyping to me. We Americans are very familiar with queues perhaps just like every other nation under the sun. Standing in line (queue) is a daily pastime in America. Here’s a quick Google search...

    A Camino Conundrum

    LIVE from the Camino The old man and his shop in Castrojeriz is alive and kickin’!

    Wow! He's still going strong, what a blessing. I know exactly where this is, nearly next to the muni albergue. My first visit was in 2013, I don't recall what I purchased but obviously I needed it. ;) In 2016 I was looking for knee support. I couldn't find anything as I walked through so I...

    LIVE from the Camino Working as hospitalero at Albergue Municipal de La Virgen del Camino

    I believe I stayed here in Sept 2013. I decided not to stay in Leon so I pressed on to La Vergin del Camino. It was a bit of a walk off the main road but worth it. I wasn’t feeling well the next morning. I was graciously allowed to stay an extra night and was so grateful for it. It was my only...
