    andylm65 reacted to Vacajoe's post in the thread want solitude with Like Like.
    You can have solitude on the CF. Be the last to leave an albergue (usually around 8am) and you’ll likely have the trail completely to yourself. Spend more time in churches than in bars, pack your lunch so you can picnic solo, and choose private...

    andylm65 reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread want solitude with Like Like.
    When are you wanting to go? There is much more solitude in the off season (December to March) on the Camino Frances. Or chose a quieter route such as the Via de la Plata, Camino Invierno, or the Mozarabe?

    andylm65 reacted to Walkalong's post in the thread Rip off Restaurant with Like Like.
    On your first Camino, how many times did you leave a Café thinking they had charged too little? Given the location and convenience. What would it cost you in London, Bath, Barnstaple or Birmingham? For struggling student on a tight budget: a...

    andylm65 reacted to Marbe2's post in the thread Rip off Restaurant with Like Like.
    We are conscious of food costs on caminos, as eating out 3 times a day can add up and we try and economize where we can. So one meal that is relatively easy to economize on is breakfast. We buy fruit, and yogurt in small cups almost daily, the...
