walking every day for the rest of my life
Does anyone use this site and if so are you having trouble with it? For over a week now we have not been able to access it. Any ideas of how to circumvent a "500 error"?
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Train on the 4-day Catalina Camino
Train for your next Camino on California's Santa Catalina Island March 16-19
Thanks for your help guys - pity it’s disappeared, it was a useful addition to our Pimsleur lessons, Bible readings songs and Duolingo. Maybe they’ll fix it eventually.
 
Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Hopefully they'll realise the site is down and fix it!
Though if it has been down over a week..........that would kind of indicate they have packed up shop.

The first day we were thinking your first sentence and checked the site every hour hoping it would be fixed. By the end of the week we were only checking daily. Now we are resigned to your conclusion.
 
Actually, when I looked at it, I think I saw a message saying they were doing their level best to get it up and running again...
We've happened upon a bit of a problem...
500 (Internal Server) Error
...that we're working furiously to correct. Things will be up and running again soon. Thanks for your patience.
so, maybe, you can always hope!

€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
I heartily recommend www.duolingo.com. Presently, I just finished my 520th consecutive day doing at least a little bit every day.

At home I access this FREE program online and devote one-hour per day. When traveling, I am in my hotel at Santiago now, I use the FREE app on my iPhone.

I can testify that it HAS made a huge difference in my confidence and ability to communicate. No one was more shocked than me when the senior manger in the Pilgrim Office, who speaks NO English, complimented me this morning on my Spanish being much, much better than last year. The really weird thing is that I actually understood what SHE was saying to me, and I managed to reply, albeit simply. But I held my end of the conversation. Go figure.

Using Duolingo has made a huge difference.

Note: I have NO commercial interest in; nor do I derive ANY benefits from endorsing this FREE language learning app.

Hope this helps.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Free. Turns out there really is no such thing as a free lunch.

I kind of get that. I have a few free service and paid service websites. It's hard to justify the time and effort on the free ones sometimes if there is no cash coming in........

Yippee! Thanks for commenting @Dennis Pack
I’m a baby on Duolingo (69 days) and I can see myself using it for a while, but it would drive me bonkers if that were all I did. Big shout out for Pimsleur lessons - they are really great too.

Also spanishdict has lots of good quizzes!

Thanks. I’ll have a look at that too. Might be a good option in place of the grammar book we’ve been using. Some of us don’t mind it, but a couple of the kids have just expressed a grizzle about it. This might be more engaging.
 
Let us pick up your suitcase once you arrive in Europe....
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

What’s nice is you can do them over. I usually bomb the first time or two then start getting better.
