Walking the Camino de Santiago

I ran into Alex from Sweden on the main street, and within thirty minutes, we were out in the countryside amongst the cattle. This particular cow might have been the model for the statue I saw […]

After last year’s short, sharp Camino Primitivo, we’re already planning for what I am calling “the long Camino” in the spring of 2024. Like our original 2013 Camino, Francine is planning to only walk part of the route, most likely the first ten or so days and the last week or two. I’m planning to begin in the French city […]

As you may be able to see from this roadside map sign, the Camino from Triacastela to Samos moves through a steep-sided valley, which might explain all of those cliffsides we are passing. The sign is at the spot where the Camino leaves the highway and strikes out through the forests, at least for a while. Date: 26 April 2013Place: […]

This large map may be found as the Camino enters the beautiful town of Navarrete. I wish more towns did this! It was incredibly helpful, especially as there is some dispute about the route the Camino takes through the town.
