Hello Peligrinos, I'll be walking my first Camino in April 2024. I've chosen to walk the Frances. I'm so grateful to have found this site. I'll be asking ALOT of questions, pls bear with me.

Well, if some of your questions include "what shoes should I wear" or "what backpack should I use" that's all been covered to a great extent previously on this forum. Just search for the answers.

Welcome @Ishtaar10 . Be careful, this Forum, like the Camino, can get addictive

 

[Kirkie]

Welcome. Ask all the questions, and search options. And, please, why are you choosing to walk a camino? If I may be so bold as to ask...That might help the relevance of the responses you will receive.

Welcome @Ishtaar10 .

We all remember when we were preparing our first Camino. I was very happy that people here were so forthcoming in answering my questions. And see...so many years later I am still here...

I'm good with all that. Got all the best gear. I work at REI and have been outfitting customers for the Camino for about 6 years now. I guess my questions are more about logistics and tips on which app and alburges are the best and which to avoid.

Sorry - I see you are wanting to know about albergues and logistics. Logistics you can ask about here. Try Gronze.com (goggle will translate from Spanish to English). It will give all the albergues and also has reviews of the same.

 

[MARSKA]

Also if you look on this forum under "resources" you will find a list of all the favorite albergues.

Distances between towns, booking albergues, alternate routes, making sure I don't get lost, and where to find water, food etc...

Try Wise Pilgrim, Buen Camino, Camino Ninja. Gronze.com is a great resource. Also godesalco

Have you watched the video tutorial?

I use both Wise Pilgrim and Buen Camino apps - they both have their strengths.
