    Is pre-booking accommodation the new normal?

    Yes. Especially if you want a specific albergue and/or you're trying to get an albergue in the large cities or the typical stages. The easiest way to book ahead is to call the albergue directly. Last year, on the Portuguese Camino, in Portugal, even a municipal albergue required reservations...

    Senda Litoral from Esposende north??

    You can find maps to both on Camino ninja to help you decide where to go. I'm not an experienced hiker and did find. I did need my no he map as the signage is not good on the literal.

    Mande'?

    This past August, Mande just automatically came out of my mouth most times. And that didn't seem to be a problem. When I remembered, I'd ask como or que.

    Doing the Logrono Tapas Crawl by Oneself

    I did it alone this past August. I prefer alone. Although I am fluent in Spanish so I can get my socializing in if I want to.

    How do people 60-and-over plan their Camino?

    I am 63 and just did my first camino this past summer--the Frances. I just read everything I could and then bought airplane tickets and went. I walked about 10 miles a day and stayed in albergues--in the dorms. Did it on the cheap. There are plenty of seniors out there doing the camino...

    The schedules are not available until closer to the travel date. So, one will show up eventually.

    Is it okay to want to walk the Frances alone?

    I walked it alone and loved it. I would say that about 50% of the pilgrims were alone.
