- Stories and experiences from those who have returned from the Camino.
- News from Santiago de Compostela
- A spotlight on lesser-known Camino routes
- Festivals and fiestas in Spain.
- Book & Film reviews.
- Experiences from volunteers who have been amigos or who have assisted in albergues.
- News from pilgrim routes / walking routes in Ireland.
All previous issues will be saved for your perusal going forward.

We would like to hear from you!

- do you have some practical advice on equipment and kit?
