I did Norte from Irun just before COVID, It is a beautiful route i am sure you will benefit from the experience. Sorry to hear about the knees I hope they continue to hold you upright for as long as they can. I have been walking the Camino since 2008. I try to keep myself in condition and always...
no matter what you wear, if it rains you will get wet, if there is wind, an umbrella is useless and you will get wet....wind blows rain under you cape and you get wet..if you were waterproof pants..rain runs down your leg into your boot and you get wet....so, if it rains you get wet....wet! wet...
I walked the route in April last year with no accomodation problems, plenty of eating options, excellent signage so you cant get lost... there is a regular bus service from SCQ to the estacion bus in the city (as far as I can recall about 7 or 8 Euros..)...buses from the estacion to...
If you are staying in the hostels along the way you will need about 5€ or 10€ euros per hostal night, let's average it out to 15€ (which is high). So, have a look at the route, estimate how many hostels you intend to use and do the math....if you wish to stay in a nice comfortable snore-free...
Hola, I'm not walking at the moment but I walked Ingles in April this year from Ferrol. It's a wonderful route with some road walking but an ideal first Camino. Plenty of accomodation with some lovely towns and villages to revive body and soul. But just like life it has up and downs, there are...

Yes, 230K+ in 8 days is possible, you will need to walk about 28K+ every day, with no rest day. Your personal reason to attempt the Way in such a short period will sustain you, beware of the unforeseen and Buen Camino, it is a beautiful route....
I did Porto to Santiago in 2019. I had no accommodation problems. Like most paths it has ups and downs...its hard to make comparisons.. I did notice that on the Portuguese way some of the paths are covered with small cobble stones I found that very hard on the feet, perhaps I need better boots...
My walking partner tripped and fell just 2k from Santiago ( just beyond the two stone markers) on Friday 23rd September. We were on the final stage from Padron. I want to say thank you to the local man who rang the ambulance which arrived in about 10 minutes. Thank you to the pilgrims that stay...
I've been walking the Camino, on various routes, since April 2008. Of course, I missed the last 2 years because of the plague. Now that I have 3 COVID jabs, I flu jab and 1 pneumonia jab I'm planning for a walk through Galicia in 2022. I'm 76. The Camino urge is always with me. Here in Ireland...
