[QUOTE="mylifeonvacation, post: 423878, member: 35486"] I'm just so glad that sharing it has been helpful to you [USER=54613]@Irenie[/USER] That's exactly what the forum is for! The Ingles was my first experience with the Camino, so it is very special to me. And we had such a unique itinerary, I'm so glad it'll be helpful for you. Can't wait to hear how you end up - I hope you come back and share! The Gronze site is great for planning. Especially important on the Ingles is to see where the places to stop are at, and bear in mind that the lone café-bar in a town might be closed when you pass by (when we encountered an open café, it was almost cause for celebration!), especially when walking shorter distances. On one occasion we stopped and asked for water from someone out watering their garden (it was the first day, and I hadn't figured out how much water to carry). I've also been thinking a lot about the question [USER=9145]@Tulle[/USER] posed - about being lonely on the Camino. So, it's all a personal thing and everyone's journey is different. I truly enjoyed the time I spent walking with members of my group on the Ingles, but I also spent quite a bit of time walking alone (since I was slower and needed to take more breaks) and I really, really enjoyed the solitude on this beautiful route. Of course, I would meet up with my people again for lunch most days and then see them at the hotel, so I wasn't *that* alone. Then last year I walked the Portuguese route (from Tui) all by myself. Once again, because of my pace, I walked alone at least 90% of the time for those 8 days. I would walk for a few minutes, or maybe an hour with a person or a small group, and chat with people at bars/restaurants during breaks, and those little bits of social time really held me over for the day. With some data on my phone, I did keep in touch virtually with my husband and friends, so it's probably because of that that I never felt lonely. As a matter of fact, the cell coverage was so good that I was able to post to Instagram from the woods, and was being cheered on virtually by friends back here in Arizona, especially on my last day walking into Santiago. Many people like to completely disconnect while on the Camino, but I'm not one of those people. To each his own. I hope you have a wonderful camino!! The Pilgrim House is a wonderful stop in Santiago! [/QUOTE]
