Camino

What does this spanish paragraph mean in english?

admin — Sat, 19 May 2012 03:42:39 +0000

The paragraph is "? Co’mo puedo explicar mi camino a escuela toda la manana? Palabras usar, verbos, manejar, doblar, and adverbios

A la izquierda, a la derecho Mapa (tu’ puedes usar mapquest)

Please help! I already tried google translate and it gives me some weird translation. I don’t need Spain Spanish translation, I need Central American/South American Spanish translation as they are different. Thanks!

"How can I explain my route to school all morning/every morning? Words…. use verbs, drive, turn, and adverbs.

To the left, to the right, Map (you can use mapquest)"

The paragraph sounds weird, and some of it isn’t grammatical Spanish no matter what the locale is.

What is the best guide book for trekking the Camino de Santiago?

admin — Thu, 17 May 2012 05:21:09 +0000

There are so many books out there on the subject, I don’t know which to choose. Any suggestions or tips for going there?

There are several Camino routes through France and Spain, and the guide you buy depends on which route you intend to follow. But I’ll assume that you want to walk the Camino Frances, possibly starting at the Spanish/French border, as that’s the most popular route.

Really, you could just turn up at your chosen starting point and just follow the yellow arrows and shells all the way to Santiago de Compostela, it’s that easy. But, it does help to have a guidebook which provides distance between towns and villages, lists albergues and the number of beds, plus information on cafe/bar/shops and local facilities.

I’ve walked the Camino Frances and used two guidebooks, the Confraternity of St James "Guide to the Camino Frances" and the John Brierley guide. Both are good books, but in terms of practicality and weight (the lighter the better) the Confraternity guide is best. This lists all villages/towns/cities, the number of albergues in each place along with number of beds and facilities in each albergue, hotels, cafes/bars, shops, distances between each place, points of interest, and difficulties that might be encountered – where relevant. The guide also includes tips for walkers, packing, transport to starting point, etc.

You can buy the book from the CSJ’s website http://www.csj.org.uk, just to to the "Bookshop" and follow the links.

Make sure you have a lightweight, well-fitting pack, carry no more than 7 or 8 kilos (max with water included), pack really lightly as you don’t need much, and practice walking with your pack before leaving home. Also get walking shoes that fit you well, and wear these in properly before starting the Camino.

Buen Camino

Can i take a hunting knife thru an airport of spain?

admin — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 11:48:22 +0000

I am going to Spain and i would like to know if i can take a hunting knife without having any problems in the airport, and also if i need a license to fish and hunt in Spain? (I am going to do the pilgrimage of "el camino de compostela)

save yourself the trouble and keep the hunting knife home because it WILL be confiscated at the airport and its just unwanted attention for yourself. you need a license to hunt, and you can get the license from the local police station make sure though that you know when and what to hunt in the permitted days. a good and closer place to hunt near the pilgrimage would be the pyrenees. You could get away with fishing on El Camino because I have done so with one of the volunteers of a hostel. MANY BLESSINGS

What type of engine and drive system should i put into my El Camino to haul a small trailer?

admin — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 20:20:17 +0000

I have the shell and frame from a 1970 El Camino and i want to turn this into my toy hauler. At most i would be hauling a two bed snowmobile trailer to haul the bike, atv, or snowmobile. I wasn’t sure if the old 350 would be enough even with different gearing. any help would be great, thanks.

the gearing plays a big roll in this equation

if it was geared for a 6 cylinder you might be spinning the 350 to fast at highway speeds

so if you plan on going with a 350, you might consider a 700r4 trans

but either a 6 cylinder or a 350 will work… the 350 is a better choice though

Does anyone know of a walking trail in the U.S. where you can stay at B&Bs or hotels along the route?

admin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:55:32 +0000

It seems there is the Camino in Spain, and trails like this in England, but I have never heard of a tentless trail like this in the U.S.

Yosemite National Park has High Sierra trail camps. They are not as luxurious as a hotel, but you don’t have to carry your own tent and they provide meals. http://www.yosemitepark.com/Accomodations_HighSierraCamps.aspx

Not sure where to study abroad, New zealand or spain?

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:46:22 +0000

Hello, I have the opportunity to study three weeks abroad and I am either going to go to spain and walk the camino de santiago or go to new zealand and learn about the maori people. I am leaning towards spain for person grown and really challenging myself, its a 300 mile walk!!! and I’m thinking new zealand because it is suppose to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. any advice on making my decision, or if anyone has done either of these, recommendations? thanks!

I would hardly call either trip "studying abroad". If you decide to walk the Camino de Santiago, your main priorities will be food, shelter, a warm shower, how to heal those blisters, etc – not sure where the study will fit into this. And where would you begin walking from? The Camino Frances is the most popular of the Camino routes, and runs from the French/Spanish border to Santiago de Compostela, a total distance of 500 miles. If you only have three weeks, you need to start much closer to Compostela, perhaps Burgos, and 300 hundred miles in three weeks is really only doable if you are a very good walker. Hopefully you are doing some walking now, because you need to wear in your walking shoes and get your body prepared as much as possible.

If you do choose to walk the Camino, have a look at a couple of websites so you know what you’re in for. Mundicamino is good for information on the different stages, accommodation, and maps http://www.mundicamino.com as is the Confraternity of St James, where you can also get a guidebook to the Camino Frances which will give you distances between towns/villages, albergues – including number of beds, cafes/bars, and essential information http://www.csj.org.uk. You could also join an Internet forum where you’ll get sensible answers to any of your questions – http://www.caminodesantiago.me/board/ is a good one or there is Santiagobis – just look it up under Yahoo Groups.

Just out of curiosity, how much would it cost to fully restore a 1983 Chevy El Camino?

admin — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 06:54:10 +0000

As my graduation gift, my grandfather is giving me his 1983 El Camino, being he is getting in too bad of health to drive. It runs good, but I wanna restore it completely. It has a 350 engine in it. That’s pretty much all I know. Just outta curiosity, if I was to get it completely restored, what would be a ballpark figure for the cost?

Chevrolet dropped the 350 in the El Camino in 1980, so unless the engine is not the original one, you actually have a 305.

As for cost, it depends on what is wrong. There is NO WAY to tell what is wrong because I can’t read your mind, nor can I actually see the car/truck/thing.

Best estimate is anywhere from 500 to 15000 depending on what you want to do to it.

You don’t say which country you come from. Generally, to travel to Spain only a passport is necessary, but you might come from a country that requires a Schengen visa, so you need to check that first.

In Leon, you can pick up a pilgrim credencial at the Cathedral. There is a desk on the right hand side of the Cathedral entrance, and it will cost about 2 euros. Or, you can buy one at any of the albergues in Leon.

You don’t need to tell anyone about where you’re going. Just get your credencial, and follow the yellow arrows!

Pilgrim albergues (where you sleep) cost around 5 euros, though some are a little more expensive. Private albergues can cost around 10 euros per night.

At bar/cafes throughout Spain you can buy a lunch called Menu del Dia, which is a three course meal, usually with wine, and will cost from 8 to 12 euros; you can sometimes get breakfast at the albergue but most pilgrims just buy coffee and a croissant at the nearest bar; dinner can be either a Pilgrim’s Menu at a bar, cook your own in the albergue if there are kitchen facilities, or just buy food at a shop. You might want to buy coffee and snacks during the day.

Generally it’s advised to allow around 25euros for each day.

I really suggest you have a look at a couple of Camino websites both of which have plenty of information on what to take, what time of year is best to walk, costs, where to find albergues and the prices etc.

Mundicamino has advice in different languages: http://www.mundicamino.com

Confraternity of St James has plenty of advice on the different Camino routes, packing lists, and in addition has a bookshop where you can buy the latest guides. The Guide to the Camino Frances (which is the route you intend to walk) will be updated soon with a new edition coming out in late January. This guide includes distances between towns and villages, list of albergues with number of beds in each and the cost, bars/cafes, places of interest and lots more. It’s lightweight and easy to carry: http://www.csj.org.uk

Santiagobis is a pilgrim forum on the Yahoo website and here you can ask any questions you have about the Camino. Go to the main Yahoo webpage and select Groups from the menu, then search for Santiagobis.
