I'll be starting to walk the Via Podiensis on May 17, 2023 and looking forward to the adventure.

The Camino is what you make it and it's meaning is something that you give it. Sometimes it evolves into something that you didn't see or plan when you started.
Embrace what it has to offer to you and find joy in the moments and experiences you have while walking it.

Check the Gronze site. There are plenty of places listed there.
I stayed at La Coquille Napoléon, at the start of my Camino. A little outside of town , but the Camino passes right by the front door. The owners were helpful and friendly.

I used the Gronze site last summer and had the pages translated that way.
Remember, you can download the maps to your phone from that site too.
Safe travels and have fun.
I'd go with the thicker sole of the Olympus. I did the Camino in a pair of Lone Peaks and the thin sole was uncomfortable when walking on gravel roads and trails.
Good luck. I looked at most of the sport shops and spent a lot of time in Santiago this last August and didn't find any options. I ended up keeping the Altra's I had started with SJPD.
