Too many and too often!
When the Santiago pilgrim office opened this morning the running total of Compostelas issued for this year stood at 445,807. Today they handed out another 1,897. Making the new total for the year to date 447,704. More than were issued in the whole of 2023 (446,078) which was itself a new record year. And there are still nearly 3 months left of this year.

    Thread 'Finding myself - What to expect on the trip.'

    This was a rather last minute arrangement. About 3 weeks ago I saw a window in my life to get some time to myself and booked a flight to Lisbon from Christchurch New Zealand. I'm spending 36 days away from home. I feel I have lost my way over the past decade and its time to find a new way forward. I'm 67 but physically healthy and fit. Mentally not so great. I want to explore my creative side (Been an Engineer all my life). What I would like is to go though my last few years of...

  • Thread '2025 Albergue Trends'

    The results are in from the annual autumn questionnaire I send to all the albergues, and they are not as radical as they were last year. Prices have increased, but not as frequently as they did from 2023 to 2024, when prices almost universally went up. In fact, two albergues (so far) have lowered their prices. There have been a few closures on the Norte, Portugués, and Francés routes due to retirement (four!) or the inability to negotiate a new lease. Some of these closures are a real...

    Thread 'Receiving a Compostela in memory of someone who has passed away'

    Hello, I recall a comment on here some time ago of someone who walked a camino in memory of someone and had a special inscription noted on their Compostela. Apologies - I have tried to search it again but have been unable to locate it. We are currently walking to Santiago in memory of a dear family member and would love to have him recognized on our Compostella. With deepest gratitude
