This Weekend Watch falls on St. Patrick's weekend and it has a distinct Irish feel to it. Not only does the video show a good part of Galicia, Ireland's unofficial fifth province, but this pilgrim arrived at A Coruña before making his way to Sarria where he started his Camino. I look forward to seeing …

I don't think I have featured anything on the Camino Primitivo before. There are so many other routes to discover, but so much time! The Camino Primitivo is a difficult, but beautiful pilgrimage, that starts in the town of Oviedo and ends in Santiago. It has a distance of 310 kilometres or 192.6 miles. This …
John Roy is a peregrino from Halifax, Canada who has an active YouTube account with many helpful videos on the Camino. He has just returned from a trip on the Camino Portuguese and has started to upload the first videos of many of his time there. This first video shows his arrival in Porto and …

So here we are..2019! Happy New Year! The celebrations are over, the good cutlery has been put away and we have settled down to another year. I hope you had a good few weeks. Christmas has been good in the Smith household. Strangely enough, the last time I felt this way was January 2018 and …
In this Weekend Watch, we vicariously walk from Porto to Santiago on the Caminho Portugues. Although I won't be walking the full way from Porto, I will pick up at the Spanish border at A Guarda. I look forward to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUucvXmiTGA
Another weekend. Another few days to catch up on sleep, but it's not so bad. I'm just home from a very successful Spanish morning organised by Camino Society Ireland. I've left my knowledge of the Spanish language fall by the wayside a number of years ago. I have become fearful of making mistakes and to …
Today, Camino Society Ireland launched its inaugural Photo Contest. It is open to all people who have walked the Camino, including the Celtic Camino. Those of you who read my blog would have taken many a photo while on Camino so now is your chance to submit a photo or two if you feel they …
Heh...I haven't laid a step on the Camino this year but I've already been quietly putting plans together for 2018. It's constantly on my mind. Three things are for certain, one other, not so much. I move into my new humble abode "Casa Herrero" on returning from my meseta Camino in mid-September. With the added …
So in my previous post, I mentioned that I had 126 days to wait until I boarded my flight to Madrid. To fill in that gap, I have started a countdown of sorts over on my instagram account. Every day up to my day of departure, I will post a photo from a previous Camino...a …
I'm a big fan of Andrew Suzuki's work on the Camino de Santiago. His two series - Don't Stop Walking and Beyond The Way have been massive hits over on Facebook. We have already been treated to Season One of Don't Stop Walking, which is a pilgrim's guide to the Camino de Santiago. A handy …
Drowning in the busyness of life, and how I stay afloat, and find peace and stillness amidst the chaos
With my new novel Lost in the Fog to-be published September 21, 2020, last fall I embarked on a four month trip to France, Spain, Portugal, and the Caribbean. The main reason for the journey was to hike the Camino de Santiago, a 550 mile pilgrimage. With this blog, I am excerpting from the journal I kept. As David Lynch once said "getting lost is beautiful".
