Will there be a new guide for the Ingles?

Thanks for the update. I like the Village to Village guides as well as having the Apps. Paper maps are still the best👍 The shipping price to the UK is also much better!

Oh my! I would like to buy the, A Pilgrim Lives Here plaque. Hope I will get to Camino again in 25!

Is there a Brierley book for the Via de La Plata?

Thanks Ivar...will there be a book available for the Le Puy-en-Velay route?

Thanks for your support for the past 20 years! Bravo Ivar. We sure appreciate you.

Hi I’m doing the Camino in late February 2025 is there a transportation from San Sebastián airport to St Jean Pied de Port beside taxi?

Not everybody bothers to get the certificate, Ivar. The number of walkers is probably higher than the number of compostelanas.

Maybe we will. As for Malaysians, we jokingly said our sales target is 500 this year, we hit that last Thu, so we are happy for this year. Hope 2025 will be another fantastic year for you.

So grateful to you, Ivar, for being our link to Santiago and the Camino when we cannot be there!

Thanks Ivar…..just in Vigo at the moment having walked from Porto for the third time in two years. Have seen just about 6 pilgrims since setting out from Porto and zero since crossing the border. Weather terrific…..will be in Santiago on Monday…..can’t wait !

Excellent Ivar, I particularly liked your walk about.

I am thinking of doing the Primitivo next year. Is everything open in October along that route?

Thanks for the walkby of Santiago. I needed that after the events of the past few days. There is always something in listening to the piper welcoming everybody. Yes, Santiago is touristy but it also is eternal. Looking forward to my next Camino on the Norte. It beat me this year, but I'll be back to take it on next spring :)

How waterproof is it please ? It says water resistant however will it keep you dry when it is raining heavily ?

That’s Awesome news! I just ordered the Camino Pendant I didn’t get when I finished my first Camino Oct 22nd! Hopefully next time I will be able to come into your Shop, and say Hello! 😊

Great news on the prices! I’ve ordered things from you a few times, and I’ve always been impressed with the service and how timely things get to me in the US

Nice!

Perfecto👍

Great news, Ivar and thank you for continuing to provide the best service relating to all things Camino related🙏🤩🙏

Hi Ivar I would like to walk the Frances, but man 430,000 people. It would have to be hard to find accommodations at times

Thanks Ivar !!

Ivar you were my go to in Santiago, and did many visits, a Blessing of Note

Here in Canada, through our Canadian Company of Pilgrims and its various provincial chapters, we have the opportunity to train as full-fledged accredited 'Hospitaleros' and eventually get an assignment post in Spain or Portugal. I am a trained and accredited 'hospitalero' ... but have not taken an assignment yet. PS: I need to add that our focus is volunteering at the 'donativos'

Interested in becoming a volunteer how do I train

Where are you posting the “volunteer opportunities ” at ??

My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Colleen during dinner in Orrison on September 4. We were the Texas couple.

Thanks for the interview. I just ordered the book to prepare myself starting in march. Tx

Greetings from New Jersey and thank you for your immense Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage dedication. We will be embarking on our third Pilgrimage coming this 2025 April, on La Via De La Plata route from Seville and was wondering if possibly you could assist us with information concerning the type of weather conditions around this time of the year in the Andalusia and Extremadura region. Thank you.

Greetings from the US and thank you, Ivar for your ongoing great Camino content. Makes me feel like I'm back on the road!

Storm Kirk was an experience on the Camino Portugese from 9th October newspaper became quite scarce😊 lovely video thanks

I will be there August 23, 2025 -- my second Camino -- tks for the video....

Thanks for the video. A walk through the square always brings me back to a great peace of mind.

I've walk 4 Camino Frances with this Poncho... 1) Throw it on like it was a Cape, then insert your arms. 2) The crinkling plastic in your ears will drive you nuts! Buy a Gore-TEX hat with wide brim (like a cowboy-hat). Roll up the hood like a fat collar. Your glasses will stay drier. 3) When it's on-off rain... Remove arms, let it hang on Backpack, tie poncho arm around your chest, or tuck one arm under each Backpack strap. When the rain starts again... in 10 seconds you can untie poncho arms, insert your arms and zip up.

They're the bee's knees!

We bought L/ExL online from Sarria, back in 2013 for our first camino in. Husband 6ft, me 5ft 2. Mine went down, almost to my feet, but I loved it. We took them on next 4 part-caminos, using for rain, wind or extra bed cover. What a good service, Ivar!

I have the ML Altus and I'm a 5'4" female. It's lovely and long. I use walking poles and can pull the sleeve down right over my hands while holding the poles. This means no water runs up my arms and my hands stay dry and therefore warm. It is big and baggy on me but this means there's plenty of room for air to circulate inside. I love that my pack stays perfectly dry, including the straps. When it's showery it is very easy to undo the front and slip out your arms but leave the Altus hanging on the pack to dry. (If it's windy I tie the arms together around my front then I know it can't drop off.) When the next shower comes I just slip my arms back in and everything is protected again.

I have been using a traditional great big black woollen cape, in fact I used it today for the rain here, but I'm thinking of getting an alpaca poncho for my next pilgrimage to Rome next year for the Jubilee. I sweat like heck inside artifial fabrics. I also doubt that you have anything in 4XL !!

THANK YOU, IVAR ... for going to the great trouble of trying them out for us to see. Very good video, Ivar👍 Comment to Altous (if they are paying attention) should have kept the original colours in addition to the new ones. What are those flaps in front? Pockets? Ventilation? Both are needed. I also did not think they are long enough.

Thanks Ivar....can you tell me the weight difference between the sizes please ? Buen Camino

I was there that day! ❤

Hello Ivar, I like to carry a guide book and the one I chose was Brierley's. I am so glad I did. It gave me something to read before going to sleep at the end of the day. Another great video, Ivar

Lovely to see it, it never gets old❤

I'm glad to hear that one can still find the spirit of the Camino. The numbers of pilgrims completing the Compostela continue to increase. I compare the current numbers to my first pilgrimage and it's noteworthy and I confess was a bit concerning. This conversation eased my concerns. I greatly enjoyed this conversation. Thank you, both of you.

Let's all cash in on the latest BS and run the fake pilgrim wheeze. 4 star group bookings, shipped bags all in the name of mindfulness cluttering up the path of the genuine pilgrims. And dont give me the nonsense " You do it your own way"

Great reps from Canada 🇨🇦 and the CCoP. Thanks Ivar!

Thank you very much for mentioning Truth and Reconciliation Day.

Agree totally. Thank you

Nice conversation thanks

Great project and talk. Thank you!! 💗
