I’m just two weeks away from my next Camino, and of course, I’m in full-on research mode—scrolling through every forum I can find (yes, that includes Reddit). One thing I’ve noticed? The number of posts about lost items. Some of them are pretty hilarious, like the guy who forgot his pants at the albergue. But then there are the more heart-sinking ones, like people losing their documents or Camino credentials.
During my last Camino there was this pilgrim who was absolutely crushed because she lost a rosary that had belonged to her grandmother. But what made it heartwarming was how all the other pilgrims rallied together spreading the word, trying to help her find it. Camino magic at its finest!
As for me, I wasn’t spared from the forgetfulness either. I lost a sock that was drying on my backpack, and one morning, I left my towel behind at an albergue. Luckily, the next albergue had a donativos box, and I scored a new one. Sure, it was ridiculously tiny, but to me it was proof that the Camino indeed provides.
So now I’m curious—did you lose anything on the Camino? Was it something precious or just one of those items you manage to live without? And the big question—did you ever get it back? I’d love to hear your stories!
