First of all, I want to wish you all the best of wishes for the year ahead. While covid-19 is by no means in the past, the future looks promising. I can see myself walking in Spain this year and life can get back to normal now that vaccines have been approved. On Thursday evening,…

The Beauty of the Camino
OK so I rarely buy books on the Camino de Santiago, choosing to visit my local library or Camino Society. However, a book was brought to my attention before Christmas that I needed to add to my collection. Written by Angelika Schneider, Johnnie Walker and Stephen Shiels, and centred on the Via de la Plata,…
Camino Francés 2014 & 2015
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…
One small step at a time…
I am delighted to have sent my first newsletter to my small but proud band of readers this morning. This newsletter is sent at the end of each month. I have written it with a personal touch, something that has been lacking in my general posts on the blog. If you wish to receive these…
Weekend Watch #76 – Camino Portugués
Happy weekend. Another video from the Portugués Camino. I’m always looking forward to a safe return. Until then, we can keep dreaming.
My favourite albergues on the Camino Francés
I first walked the Camino Francés in 2011 and I have been venturing back and forth each year to walk a section of this great way.

Weekend Watch #75 – El Camino Francés in July / August 2020
Thanks to Bradley Ladewig for the video. He travelled from Germany to walk the Camino Francés during Covid times. I’m not sure I could keep up at his pace however. We can all agree that the Camino Francés in summer is beautiful.
A rewarding month…
The last month has been a rewarding experience for me personally. Let me explain. Writing here has always been fun but for the last number of years, I can see my posts aren’t reaching the pilgrims I hope to see them. And I don’t want to go around forcing people to read my posts. So…
Weekend Watch #74 – David Wen – Camino Francés – September 2019
A great advertisement for starting your Camino solo. You will always meet other pilgrims, if you want to. This pilgrim walked in September last year and met pilgrims as he walked along the Camino Francés. It is worthwhile watching until the end when the full set of pilgrims arrive into Santiago. David created another video…
Do you want to share your Camino experience?
I think it is no secret that I wish to create a podcast to help others (and in turn myself) get ready for a trip to Spain / Portugal. I have all the necessary equipment and I hope to have the first episode uploaded shortly. Over the coming weeks, I am looking to talk to…
