Hola amigos! ‘Tis the season to share a selection of Camino-inspired gifts for the holidays. There are offerings from pilgrims who have been so inspired by the Camino that they have created books, customized maps, music, and more. New this year, a few things that pilgrims crave: Camino beer, Jamón Serrano, and Tarta de Santiago. Add them to your shopping list and you will be set for your upcoming fiestas and pilgrim gatherings. I’m also happy to announce that the Camino patches for 2020 finally arrived and are pictured at the end of this post. So, browse the gifts for the pilgrims on your list, and perhaps pick something out for yourself. You’ve been a good pilgrim all year, haven’t you? If not, I won’t tell St. Nick, or St. James. 😉

Custom Camino Maps

‘A Road To Santiago’ creates one-of-a-kind custom Camino maps showing the village names, custom text in the header, choice of decorations, optional photos and trail profiles.

These 24″ x 36″ or 18″ x 24″ custom maps are a great memory piece. Starting at $55 for the digital-only version and $80 and up for printed, rolled and shipped versions. For more details, go to ARoadToSantiago.com. These are very customizable by a graphics designer – many options available. Designed, printed and shipped within a week.

Trailhead Music

My favorite Camino-inspired gift of 2019 is the music by a German pilgrim and singer-songwriter Tobias Panwitz, who fittingly calls himself Trailhead. I played the “Keep Walking” CD at our chapter’s St. James Day event and ordered a few copies for our raffle at the welcome home event. And now, he is giving away a free copy of his latest CD with every purchase!

Get the CD “The Road to Salamanca” free with every purchase, for a limited time.

Panwitz wrote some of his songs while walking on the Camino, on the streets of Madrid, walking towards Salamanca, or arriving in Santiago de Compostela. Other songs, such as “Volcano Ground” is about embracing life’s unpredictability, and “White Flag“ follows the footsteps of those who attempt challenges such as climbing Mount Everest. He’s a talented guitar player with a folksy voice. To hear a sample, listen to his song “Walking the Camino” as background music on my latest video, Pilgrim Welcome Home Event Highlights.

Vinyl Trailhead “Keep Walking”

Just order what you like and Tobias will send you a free CD “The Road to Salamanca” with your order. I’ve ordered twice from Trailhead and can say that German mail is speedy! But you can decide if you want to expedite your order. Order at: http://www.trailheadmusic.com/

Whisk and Spatula’s Tarta de Santiago Gift Box is the perfect gift and/or entertaining solution for this holiday season. Each gift box contains a delicious, fully baked Tarta de Santiago. Just add the finishing touch before serving!

Camino Brewing Co. San Jose, California

Silicon Valley pilgrims can treat friends and family, employees, and colleagues to the unique experience of locally made craft beer from Camino Brewing Co.

Camino Brewing Co., a community-based brewery located near downtown San Jose, makes award winning craft beverages inspired by the founders 1,900 mile cycling pilgrimage across the Camino de Santiago. Their Camino-themed beers include the Café con Leche Stout, KM 0.0 IPA, and La Rioja Belgian Ale. See what’s on tap.

Bay Area Pilgrims: I will be planning a beer pilgrimage to Camino Brewing Co. sometime in summer of 2020. The “Rails to Ales” event will involve a train ride, urban walk, beer tasting, and pilgrim camaraderie with the fun pilgrims in the South Bay. Date will be announced in a few months. Stay thirsty, my friends!

Jamón Serrano

What do you get the pilgrim who has everything but craves the thinly sliced cured ham Spain is known for? A gift box of of Jamón Serrano, complete with a stand and carving knife!

A pilgrim friend brought one of these to our recent Camino Welcome Home event and it was a big hit! It came with a knife, stand and cutting board. If you want to spurge and get the best quality Jamón available in the Bay Area, The Spanish Table in Berkeley has Cinco Jotas (for around $1200), considered one of the top Iberian ham producers in Spain. If you want to save a few bucks, check your local Costco or order one from Amazon.com.

The Camino Voyage Film

This film premiered in Dublin, Ireland in March, 2018. Since then, it has been released in Cinemas internationally and played at International Film Festivals from Moscow all the way to Hawaii and won five awards along the way.

I hosted a screening of this film in Berkeley in October and everyone enjoyed it. While I don’t recommend rowing an old boat to Galicia (talk about blisters!), I do recommend this film. It is now available worldwide via DVD and streaming. Purchase at: www.anupictures.com/project/camino/

“Returning From Camino” Wristbands and Poster

Alexander Shaia, author of the Returning From Camino book (details below), has a couple of unique gifts for pilgrims. The wristbands would make excellent stocking stuffers. They’re small and lightweight enough to give pilgrims on the Camino. Wear these bands as a reminder that you are on the path of Return. With a glance, remember your desire to enact new attitudes and behaviors (wisdom) and to serve Higher Self and others. Embossed with two phrases: ‘Return From Camino’ and ‘Wisdom & Power To Serve’.

Returning From Camino 18″ x 27″ Poster with Mailing Tube

This commemorative poster is a powerful piece of art work to hang in your home or office. Adorned with hues of blues, purple, gold and green, the image brings alive your Camino and reminds you that the journey continues. The many symbols in the print beckon you to deeper reflection. What story do you see here?

Available on Quadratos website, orange remembrance bands (five for $10) and posters of the book cover ($32). See details and purchase at: quadratos.com/store/items/

Camino Books

Camino de Santiago: Sacred Sites, Historic Villages, Local Food & Wine by Beebe Bahrami

Beebe Bahrami’s book about the Camino Francés is in a class all its own. It’s part Camino guidebook and part cultural history—packed with with practical tips for pilgrims and gorgeous full-color photos. I love the fold-out map with the stages and elevations. The book is a little heavy for an ultralight packer (I delivered one to a mutual friend in Spain before I walked my Camino Invierno this year). You might consider reading it cover-to-cover before you go on the Camino, and have something to refer to when you get back home. Fortunately, there’s a Kindle version that won’t weigh pilgrims down on the Camino.

Order paperback or Kindle Edition on Amazon.com.

Returning From Camino by Alexander John Shaia

Whether you are a pilgrim on the Camino, or elsewhere in the world, this is the first guidebook that physically, mentally and emotionally prepares you to return home.

Alexander spoke at our chapter’s St. James Day event and many of us pilgrims could relate to the four-part journey: hearing the summons; enduring tests & obstacles; receiving the gifts; and returning to serve community.

Available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon.com.

With Your Inner Camino, you’ll discover how to let go of the thoughts and behaviors that limit your growth and happiness. Use it to inspire you along the way. You’ll discover how walking the Camino is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to clean the slate and start anew.

After the Camino Your Pocket Guide to Integrating the Camino de Santiago into Your Daily Life by Karin Kiser

The real Camino begins after you arrive in Santiago, when you take your experience home with you. How will you keep the spirit of the Camino alive in your daily life? After the Camino will help you avoid returning to the old habits and routines of your pre-Camino life. You’ll discover how to simplify your life and live the pilgrim way at home.

Both books for $14.95. Part of the proceeds from the sale of each book goes toward keeping the Camino clean. Paperback editions are available at CaminoChroniclesPress.com. Digital editions are available at Amazon.com.

The books are also available in Spanish! Conjunto de 2 libros: El camino hacia tu interior y Después del camino

It’s About Time: A call to the Camino de Santiago by Johnnie Walker

I just received this book and haven’t had a chance to read it all yet. The pre-intro has an excellent and brief history of the pilgrimage and a decent map of European Caminos. There are beautiful full color photos throughout. I will do a full review after I have a chance to read it. I loved meeting Johnnie Walker in Santiago after my 2017 Camino.

Available at the Confraternity of Saint James or Kindle and Paperback on Amazon.com.

A Special Place on the Camino Francés

The Stone Boat in Rabanal del Camino B&B Gift Certificates and Poetry on Slate

Kim is an artist, writer, “mentor specializing in pilgrimage as rite of passage” and most recently has become an innkeeper on the Way. After many years as a pilgrim and then guide, in the true spirit of ‘the Camino provides’, she has recently opened a unique bed and breakfast named “The Stone Boat” in Rabanal del Camino on the French Way. I had the opportunity to stay there for a night in May 2019 and I thoroughly enjoyed the space and Kim’s hospitality (and her homemade banana bread!) The place has great energy, and the village of Rabanal is very quaint and peaceful. I highly recommend staying there on the Camino Francés.

Kim is offering these beautiful gifts of poetry written on slate from the mountains in the area and also gift certificates from The Stone Boat. She will continue to hold intimate group quests, mentoring, as well as Camino writers’ workshops in Rabanal.

If you would like to know more about the poetry slates, The Stone Boat and other offerings, you email Kim at [email protected] or visit www.thestoneboat.com and www.facebook.com/soulful.road.

Organza gift bag

Instant ornament!

Packed and mailed with love, from my kitchen

I have made a Camino connection with all of these pilgrims who’s items are featured above, either in person or online. Some have been interviewed on Project Camino so you can hear their voices. By supporting these artists, you are supporting the Camino creatives tribe. I see this as a way pilgrims can share their talents in a way others can enjoy, and possibly, also be inspired by the Camino! You can also find Camino gifts featured in 2018, 2017 and 2016.

We pilgrims are not selling our creations to make a profit. Rather, it brings us joy to share a little bit of the Camino with the world. We offer our gifts to support our craft, and any proceeds go right back into our creations. My mission is to celebrate the Camino de Santiago and the pilgrim’s journey, from the Calling to Compostela and beyond. I do this by sharing informative tips on training, gear, and routes; by organizing and promoting Camino-related events in the Bay Area; by interviewing pilgrims and sharing inspiring stories; and by curating content relevant to the Camino. Sales of my patches, and purchase through my Amazon affiliate links, help to defray the costs of hosting and managing this blog. It’s a win-win, and a sustainable way to keep sharing the Camino love. Thank you. Gracias. Obrigado. Merci.

I wish you all a blessed and peaceful holiday season, and a wonderful new year.

Panic! At The Disco's BBC Radio 1's Biggest Weekend & Live Lounge Performance, Pre-Pray For The Wicked Signing & Secret Sinner Album Preliminary

High hopes, high notes and high horns. Panic! At The Disco's Welsh Biggest Weekend wonder, live lounge sequel, packed Pray For The Wicked sold out signing and audio album listening lig cynosured a US intrinsic unit's transatlantic trail to a 5 day UK residency, readying the release of the religiously rooted record Pray For The Wicked.

"I pray that my family stays safe while I’m on the road trying to share an incomparable experience with a million different friends" proclaimed pretend pasteur Panic! At The Disco's preliminary vanguard Brendon Urie, vocalised henceforth of shadowing studio LP to 2016's disorderly dazzling Death Of A Bachelor. Praying for safety, experiences and positivity promoting the Pray For The Wicked project, Panic! passed through pinpoints of Britain briefly stopping for signings, singing and standardised British dishes dashing to Germany, gearing up for the Las Vegas varieties non-stop shows touring the US supported by Atlantic Records roster Arizona and entertainment entity Hayley Kiyoko from start to finish of the summer season soon returning to the fields of Reading and the parks of Leeds, fulfilling festival line ups postliminary Pray For The Wicked.

Wondering onto the Swansea stage at BBC Radio 1's The Biggest Weekend, an annually travelling festival presenting a plethora of prestigious performers split across several consecutive days during May's late back holiday weekend across 4 major music parks. Panic! At The Disco's short but stupendously sweet 7 song long setlist showcased modern music oppose to old originals, with gruesomely green lighting evoking eerily eldritched aesthetics of the evil 'Emperors New Clothes'. With its demonic demeanour thematically displayed upon Urie's facial expression emotions, terrifying trumpets, daunting drums, blood curdling bass, ghoul like guitars and scarily seasoned singing that shockingly hit high notes naturally, immersed in the wicked wonder of Kennith, Nicole and Dan's devilish microphone distortion deeming "Mortal kings are ruling castles/Welcome to my world of fun/Liars settle into sockets/Flip the switch and watch them run". Rounding off rapidly into 'High Hopes' heading up its live debut, a whim change in setlist songs Urie stated to the sea of Swansea sinners "Were going to do a song we've never played live in our lives". Horns a plenty 'High Hopes' hones in on classically jazz instrumentation integrated into a pop-rock band balancing their genre roots with a new found brass sound, revealing a regal feel featuring jagged guitars, a tapping hi-hat and positively poised optimism with the former Kinky Boots broadway actor enthusiastically pronouncing "Didn't know how but I always had a feeling/I was gonna be that's one in a million" backed by a building bridge that declared victory, for a song taken from the back of a bus to Swanseas Singleton stage shortly subsequent to long time setlist server 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies'. "This one's old" the 31 year old songster chimes in before impromptu beat boxing his way into The A Fever You Can't Sweat Out staple, significantly gaining crowd confirmation of an indication of infidelity profoundly prized by the upmost of emo's and recently regenerated of Panic! audiences. One of the modern rock biggest hit's, twinkling production and characteristic crooning of "Technically our marriage is saved" and "This calls for a toast" terminated the succinct staging speaking "Thank you guys for hanging out with us, for all the love we appreciate you".

Stripping it down and banishing the backflips, popular culture corporation BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge exhibits and exposes musical capabilities of all its comrades. Acoustically executing the religiously rooted rendition of 'Say Amen (Saturday Night)' acting upon Urie's acoustic guitar multi tasking attributes, Pawlovich's drum brushes and Row's bopping bass brings cooperatively the indistinguishable vocal work weaved betwixt the structural sections of the song, still remaining relevant to the choppy introduction and spoken word wrangle that's replicated repetitions of the likes of "Amnesia" or "I need/miss ya" subdued speedily from the vocal backing from the touring band behind Brendon's resolved middle register throughout the Christianity centred chorus "I pray for the wicked on a weekend/Mama, can I get another amen?/Swear to God, I ain't ever gonna repent". Meticulously mulling over what could have been an alternate reality for the sixth studio LP, the tenor obtainer reminisces on his religious roots and record denominating development "I was going to name it after a Lord Byron quote, then I realised that's pretty pretentious. But then I saw the lyric and that makes more sense, I'll just pull something that's already been written. Pray For The Wicked from my religious upbringing" undertaking a Live Lounge liability, covering Brit pop anthem performer Dua Lipa's career clinging creeper 'IDGAF'. Mounting a male spin on the solely female fronted song, Brendon brandished his own smooth singing spin on Lipa's guitar infiltrated careless calling. Crisp, cool and cold electric flickers flow into a tapping moon shaped tambourine and cycling choirs of handmade clicking cultivate to the originals origins of pattering production, stylised in a marching band methodology similarly analogous to the 2018's tracks stalwart snare striking ultimately climaxing into the chorus of Urie's unequivocal pitch rising performance of Dua's stout songwriting "You say you're sorry, but it's too late now/So save it, get gone, shut up/'Cause if you think I care about you now/Well, boy, I don't give a..."

Radiating pure happiness, the Panic! At The Disco pioneer presented a simpering smile stimulated signing at the home of entities of endless entertainment, HMV's Oxford Street flagship store. Escorted by his two man entourage, idiosyncratic tour manager Zack Cloud Hall stringed side by side alongside Urie's proprietor manager Scott Nagelberg, Brendon Urie hosted a pre LP sign and speak session for select super fans who clinched finite entry to the wristbands by virtue of pre purchasing the imminent effort in its CD or vinyl formats. The 'Silver Lining' singer greeted 'Girls/Girls/Boys' branded rainbow sporting sinners, handing out high fives and honest handshakes to the unstable hands of fans overflowing with gratitude, beholden and reverence for the remaining rock band member.

Previewing Pray For The Wicked in its plenitude of expected pristineness, signed up supporters to the bands form calling people of London town to fill in fundamental information amassed in a secret London location, sitting in a space with headsets on the heads of specially selected devotees who delved into the depths of the unreleased record into the surplus songs besides singles 'Say Amen (Saturday Night)', 'Silver Lining' plus 'High Hopes'. In-sighting into established track listing 'King of the Clouds', 'Dying in LA' and 'Roaring 20's' amongst many more songs set to be released on 22nd June, on the obnoxiously originally transformed title "Fame is the thirst of youth".
