Congratulations Ivar.

We are starting the third decade of the Camino de Santiago forum. The first post available for us to see is #1 on thread #3, titled “Hostal Suso” dated October 12, 2004. That is actually the third post ever (I'm assuming the first two threads and posts were tests and deleted).

Thank you so very much for helping so very many. Stick around for a while longer. We still need you.

Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
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.

I had a little giggle - it was YOU who started the pilgrim/tourist debate;-)

So now, with @ivar in front, we are free to distinguish between tourists and pilgrims?

Edit: Rachael/@Kiwi-family : It was so nice to meet you in Uterga this April!

@ivar : You have come a long way, fellow countryman: Congratulations!

  • Thread '447,704 and still counting!'

    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 'Camino forum's new software update'

    I have been posting some long-ish entries on my daily "Live on the Camino" thread for the Ingles route I am now walking. I have noticed for the last couple of days that if I want to preview what I've wrote, or possibly make a few changes, or insert additional text somewhere, that I am unable to take a look at the whole post before deciding to "send" from my phone. It seems to be stuck showing only a few lines of my text and has never done this before and is frustrating. Has anyone else...

  • 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 'On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 11.0'

    Welcome to the 11th photo of the day thread! Started during the height of Covid when we were all house-bound, these threads have taken on a life of their own, and a reliable daily source of joy for all of us who are home and thinking about the Camino. So this is a place to share memories and short reflections, one photo per day, one day at a time. Some of us will not make it to Spain this year, so this is our every day Camino fix. If you have been along for the ride since 1.0, you may find...
