As I have not had the opportunity to walk one of Spain's great pilgrim's paths this year, I've been reeling in the years by looking over photos from previous Caminos. I must say it has been quite enjoyable, even though I prefer to make new memories. During the two years of 2014 and 2015, I... Continue Reading →
And I can't wait... It has been nearly three months since I returned from Santiago and the Portuguese Camino. I had a great time. It was short. Too short. I arrived back and immediately thought "I need to go back". So I sat down and looked at flights back to Spain. My trips to Spain... Continue Reading →
The artwork in Belorado is special. All it's walls are covered in drawings of pilgrims, soldiers and signs showing the right direction. I have passed through this small town on three occasions and have always enjoyed my time here. Jana and her family in "Albergue Cuatro Cantones" roll out the red carpet should you wish...

Well, it's not long before this Irishman finds himself back on the Camino trail. I will pick up where I left off last September and will walk for two weeks. The fortnight is going to be relaxed, it's going to be enjoyable and fingers crossed I meet some good friends like I have done since... Continue Reading →
Time flies when you're having fun eh? I surely hope my time in Spain doesn't go by fast when I get there! Like the title says, I am 20 days before I start my 5th stint on the Camino Frances. I can't believe I have been caught by this bug since June 2011. There is... Continue Reading →
40 days left.... For those who have not walked the Camino de Santiago, these final 40 days should be spent scouring over packing lists, forums, blogs while taking every available opportunity to get out walking. For me, having had the joy of walking the Camino Frances a number of times before, that excitement is not... Continue Reading →
Well 2015 is only a few days old but I'm well into my preparation for my 2015 Camino Frances. On Monday last, I booked my flights to and from Spain for May 5th to May 19th, while today I bought a new backpack after a quick visit to the city centre. I paid a visit... Continue Reading →
I still find it hard to believe that I will be returning to Spain for the 5th time next year. I keep getting asked that there must be other things I could do or places I could visit, but as long as I enjoy walking, I'll keep making plans to return. I love the Spanish... Continue Reading →
I am back home in Dublin about 5 hours as I write this. I have returned from walking about 11 days of the Camino and the last few weeks have yet to sink in. It will take me a few days to update my blog to tell you about my time there but at this moment... Continue Reading →
I have a little under a month to go before I head off to southern France and walk what I have left of the Camino de Santiago. 28 days of waiting to be exact. What has struck me is how different I feel now to how I felt on the three previous occasions in 2011... Continue Reading →
