    LIVE from the Camino They are recommending the Valcarlos route tomorrow, how foolish would it be to go Napoleon?

    I walked the Napoleon yesterday in somewhat miserable weather (but no advisory from the pilgrim’s office) and felt it was worth it. Even with cloud cover and steady drizzle, it was still scenic to me and limited visibility added to the sense of adventure. But I don’t know how the Valcarlos compares.

    Unfortunate, but true... I need to skip some sections

    I was thinking of biking through the Meseta (but didn’t go through with it) and started to explore rental companies, including the following: - Bike Iberia: https://www.bikeiberia.com - Cycling Rentals: https://www.cycling-rentals.com - Burgos Bike Rental...

    Unfortunate, but true... I need to skip some sections

    It looks like you have 4 full weeks, How about biking a segment of the CF (say, from Burgos to Leon or Astorga), which could shave off a few days (versus walking)? That way, you wouldn’t need to skip any part of the CF.

    Packing - edition one

    I did that for the first time today. Loaded my pack to weigh 7.5kg (including water) and walked for 10km (including up a few steep hills) and now I am determined to bring the bare minimum and travel lighter.

    Packing - edition one

    Aah, got it now. I also went looking for small stones today. Picked up 4, now need to decide which one to take with me.

    LIVE from the Camino For those worried about beds...

    Hi Sarah. I start on the 29th. Depending on our relative speed, perhaps we'll meet up somewhere along the CF. Buen camino!

    Accommodation - to book or not to book

    Thanks, Anne. Too late for me to change my plan - also, May is the most feasible window for me to do a full camino this year.

    Accommodation - to book or not to book

    Out of curiosity, why do you think so? Is there a place where I can find data on this year's traffic? I ask because I will start my first camino from SJPP on 29 April (perhaps I am contributing to this issue!). Thanks.

    Strategy on staying more than one night in a town

    For my upcoming camino, I have booked private rooms (mostly small hotels/pensions) when I am planning to stay in a town for more than 1 day (ie rest days). However, for Santiago de Compostela, I have decided to stay in a private albergue because I thought it would be nice (even though I will...

    How many days

    Thanks again. I am looking forward to meeting people but dislike crowds so my plan has been to stay overnight in non-"stage" towns and condense the number of days on the Sarria to Santiago stretch. The Sanabres Camino sounds great but I'd like to "faithfully" complete the CF, as this is my first...

    How many days

    Thanks so much. Really helpful. I have shortened my CF pilgrimage to 30 walking days (plus 4 rest days in Logrono, Burgos, Leon and Ponferrada and an extra buffer/sightseeing day in Santiago) but wasn't sure the 29+ km days that I have planned (Pamplona - Cirauqui (31.8km); Cirauqui - Los Arcos...

    How many days

    Hi. I am walking my first camino (CF) in late April. Which stages did you double up or walk 1.5 stages in a day? Thanks.
