I'm starting my 2nd Camino on June 19 from Astorga to Santiago. Unfortunately I could not get the necessary vacation days to do it completely but it will be nice as well as my wife and my two sons are doing it with me.
By the way, my son Lucas Curssi Sixto is starting to walk on May 28th from...

We stayed yesterday at the Meeting Point Albergue at Hornillos del Camino. Pretty new Albergue, and the hospitaleros Lauro and Flor, and their son as well, great people, great place. 8 Euros well spent.
Gerard, what a coincidence, starting at the same day. I am leaving Weston, FL, USA on Sep 27 to Madrid, from there to Pamplona by car, then getting the ALSA bus to SJPdP and arriving on Sep 28th around 7:30pm, going to get my credencial and then to a hotel, starting to walk also on Sep 29th...
I am starting to walk on Sep 29, 2014 - I have everything ready, actually, I have been ready for a couple of months now - it's going to be my first Camino, walking with my 19 y/o son ... I am not worried with what I will experience, as I firmly believe in being 100% open to new things, but what...
Tks ... I imagine that those few days were the first ones crossing the Pyrenees right? I do prefer cold rather than hot weather - I will be prepared for that. Thanks!!!!!!
Fred, we will start walking on the 30th from SJPdP, few days later, but it would be a pleasure to meet you guys somewhere along the way ... Have a Buen Camino!!! Thanks for the suggestion, I will check it.
Thanks Falcon269 - actually, it might be ok for me because I am not planning to stop anywhere between Madrid and Pamplona - actually, the office of the rental card company is located 2 blocks away of the Bus Station in Pamplona ... Thanks!!!!!!!!
God bless you all!!! I will start my first Camino, after years saying to myself I should do it. I am planning to be in Madrid on Sep 29th in the morning, get a rented car from Barajas to Pamplona, then the ALSA bus from there to SJPdP. Getting my credentials, sleeping in a little hotel, just to...
Nice - I will arrive at Madrid on Sep 28th, go to St Jean by car and bus and start my walk along with my son on Sep 29th. .... Buen Camino!!! Hope we can meet there.
I am going to do my Camino with my 19 y-o son in Oct 2014, I am very anxious as well. Started practice but unloaded - I will do it soon with my backpack on.
All the best for you .... Buen Camino
Dear Pano, well understood since the beginning - it was really fun to answer to your "Any opinions!?" - sad that people cannot simply play with that ... Tks!!!!!
Hey, nice one - I will start my first one in Sep 30th of 2014 from SJPdP, so I will probably review my comments then. For now, those are my remarks for each point:
1. No discussions - it depends on how you take it. I do prefer to believe for now that I will start my Camino when I leave home and...
Dear Rebekah, agree, but not that much. I am talking without a practical experience as I will do my first Camino in Oct 2014 but I had the opportunity to see miracles in peoples' lives happening when they have to go through adverse experiences. They might not be prepared or exactly fit into the...
