Camino Tips
In a few days, I will be writing about my experience walking the Camino De Santiago, the pilgrimage route through Spain to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, but in the meantime I have some other Camino-related posts scheduled…
Before setting out on my trip, I spoke to several close friends who had previously walked the Camino, and I asked them for tips concerning my upcoming journey. Additionally, while I was on pilgrimage itself, I asked my fellow pilgrims what advice they would give to a friend who expressed interest in walking the Camino (aside from obvious response of “Don’t be crazy!”).
This week I will be sharing four blog posts which will be an aggregation of all the suggestions I would give to any would-be pilgrims. Each post will focus on one particular area:
2. Before you leave home
3. On the road
4. Staying in Hostels
Quite a few of my friends are talking about walking the Camino this year, so hopefully this will give them a bit of a headstart…
Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls
– Jeremiah 6:16
I’m most eager to read about your equipment. I’ve only ever trekked the wildernesses; never backpacked trails that took me through civilized territories. And never longer than 10 days.
The post is now up!
