Camino Blues? Bring the Camino Feeling Back Home!

You're back home and missing that special Camino vibe?




No problem – you can recreate that adventure feeling right where you are! Here are some creative ideas to bring the Camino routine into your living room:


1. Sleep in your sleeping bag every night – but switch spots around the house to keep that sense of being on the move.

2. Hand-wash your clothes – in the sink, using the same bar of soap you use to wash yourself.

3. Wait outside your front door – sit there for a few hours, pretending you're waiting for someone to unlock it for you.

4. Simulate the hostel atmosphere – ask someone to wake you up at night by shining a flashlight in your face.

5. Shop like a pilgrim – grab a roll, a slice of chorizo, a slice of cheese, and a banana. That's your typical pilgrim meal!

6. Order your food in sign language – just point at something and let your hands do the talking.

7. Chat with strangers – strike up a conversation with people as if you've known them forever. Ask them if they prefer shoes or boots.

8. Experience your own "rain shower" – put on as many layers as possible and have someone spray you with a garden hose.

9. Imitate trekking poles – tap a spoon against a plate to mimic the familiar sound of walking sticks.

10. Drink lots of water – then head "into the bushes," just like you would on the Camino.

11. Pick fruit from your neighbor's trees – of course, only if you have their permission!

12. Enjoy a glass of wine with painkillers – the classic pilgrim recovery routine.

13. Collect seashells – or shell-like objects – and take photos of them as if they were the most beautiful souvenirs.

14. Mail yourself some post – pack a few clothes and send them to yourself via mail.

15. Get dressed in the dark – and don't forget to put on damp clothes to really feel the Camino experience.

16. Go to the local pub and ask for a stamp – ask the bartender if they can stamp your "pilgrim passport."

17. Breakfast like a pilgrim – toast or a croissant is all you need.

18. Get a one-sided tan – sit in the sun so that only one side of your body gets tanned.

19. Say "Buen Camino" to everyone – whether you're out for a walk or just strolling down the street.


With these tips, you can bring the Camino routine back into your life – and maybe even a little bit of that adventure feeling! 😊 ¡Buen Camino!
