I was volunteering for Camino Society Ireland at their information centre in Dublin again today. When I volunteer, I start to think ahead about possible routes to take in the future.

While Santiago Cathedral is under refurbishment, pilgrims may look to other cathedrals for solace. While León Cathedral is undergoing work it is open to the public and I have always enjoyed visiting it. The same goes for Burgos and Astorga.

It's important to start out by saying that everyone's experience is different. You may choose to avoid albergues and have a more comfortable Camino, thereby increasing... Continue Reading →
