[QUOTE="Rita Flower, post: 1072485, member: 98525"] Join the pre nerves club. I was feeling the same. What I have found is that being less supported has led to some mistakes on my part but mainly led to me feeling more confident and slowly building my capacity. I speak a minuscule amount of Spanish but people are generally helpful. There always seems to be someone with a little English when I need it and the young kids are eager to share their knowledge. And I struggle on with Google translate. I think numbers probably range between 0 and 7 on any one day. The Camino is mainly well marked. I haven’t been completely lost yet. It is trickier if you leave in the dark as the arrows can be hard to find - but really it seems as good as the Frances in 2007. Just watch weekends in bigger towns and cities. I nearly got caught out last night in Mérida as the albergue was closed for the night for family reasons and the town was pretty much booked out. I think I got the last bed. The main challenge in the first week is that you can walk 20+ km with no towns in between to encourage breaks. Now that I have started to take more roadside breaks it feels much easier. But you still need to carry more water and food than on the other two Caminos. Am currently having a lovely restful Sunday in Mérida - the Roman ruins here are pretty impressive. Buen Camino [/QUOTE]
