    Del Norte, Primitivo, Portuguese or Francesco

    Hi all, My partner and I are looking to walk our next Camino in August 2018, after having previously walked Francés in 2016 and 2011. We’d like to explore a different route and we are both fit and open to something a little more challenging the Francés. Our favourite things about the Camino...

    Camino France's (again) or Portugese route

    Hi Jeffrey, Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and perspective. It sounds like CF is the way to go for what I'm seeking. Although I'm repeating the same path, I'm sure that no two caminos are the same and there is still much to be learnt and discovered! So excited for the journey...

    Camino France's (again) or Portugese route

    Ahh great! Thanks for clarifying that. I was under the impression that the numbers increased significantly in a holy year but your comments seem to suggest otherwise. Thanks so much

    Camino France's (again) or Portugese route

    Hi Telelama, Thanks for your response. It sounds to me like CF is the way to go for the experience I'm seeking and maybe next time we can walk a different route together for a different experience. I love the community and it's a huge part of the reason I want to do it again and so CF seems...

    Camino France's (again) or Portugese route

    Thanks for you response!! I loved the rural parts of Camino Frances. I much preferred the small towns over being in the big cities. From your perspective is CP more through the bigger cities and towns then CF? Thanks again

    Camino France's (again) or Portugese route

    Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. The reason I'm considering CF again is because I had such a wonderful experience and I'd love my boyfriend to share that too. Part of the special experience for me was all the people on the journey and so I'm not sure about the quieter CP route...

    Camino France's (again) or Portugese route

    Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I like the idea of 650km, that sounds like a good distance. I also hadn't considered the fact that it's a holy year. Do you think Camino Frances will still be super busy in September? If I buy the Camino Portuges guide, I'm guessing this would be a good...

    Camino France's (again) or Portugese route

    Hi guys, I will be starting my second Camino this September, after I first completed the Camino France's 5 years ago. I am torn between doing the Camino Frances again and trying the Portugese route. I loved the Camino Frances - I loved that there were so many other pilgrims walking from all...

    Hey Team, So I'm looking to book my flights to Paris in the next few weeks and I just wanted to confirm my itinerary with you guys first to make sure I'm on the right track. There are heaps of posts about this so I want to make sure I have the right info. I plan to fly into Paris around the end...

    Hi Helen, Thanks for all your advise. There is some great info there and some really handy tips! I'm a pretty considerate person anyway which is why I am asking about the alarm because I would hate to be disturbing people. I think the red light bracelet sounds like the best idea for light. I am...

    Thanks for your advice Janet. I don't really have an intinerary or time frame so maybe I will be ok to plan it as I go. I think I'd like to travel around Spain afterwards so I'm happy to take it easy. I'm just thinking about the early starts on the camino.. I saw in another post someone talking...

    Kiwi Newbie

    Hey guys, More questions from me... I am doing a lot of planning about what to pack etc but I haven't put much thought into the actual route I will be taking. I think I'll do the Camino Frances but is it ok to just arrive and plan the journey as I go? I'm very much into going where the road...
