- Time of past OR future Camino
- june 2013
Hi all,
I am planning to walk the Camino around June 1st. I would like to take it fairly slowly because of age and some old injuries. I don't want to end up in Santiago in mid July because of stories I am hearing of extreme heat and crowds. I plan to fly back around the 10th of July. So...I thought of starting in Pamplona to save a few days (and my knees and back). I am walking alone and I am excited to meet people and a "Camino Family" or community along the way. My question is, is there a good place to stay in Pamplona to meet Pilgrims who are also starting there? Or do people have other suggestions of where to start?
I don't want to rush the walk, and at the same time, I don't want to arrive in Santiago later than the 10th. I also don't want to skip sections and leave new friends (if I have made connections).
So excited to be planning this.
Suggestions? Thoughts?
