- Camino Ingles May 2019
First off howdy -
I'm new to the forum - found it by chance the other day while researching the Camino. From what I've seen so far this seems like a great community with a huge wealth of knowledge.
I've wanted to walk the Camino for years, but never thought I would get a chance (the Frances Camino is a pipe dream) but as I've done more research about the different routes, I realize I could possibly do a shorter walk. The purpose for my walk is an actual pilgrimage so reaching Santiago is my goal I should mention.
There is an off chance I might be about to go the 2nd week in November and considered joining up along the Frances a day or two before Sarria but I feel as though this would be cheating (although I know everyone says you walk your own Camino) since I didn't start in France.
I've also considered the Ingles but not sure November would be a good month for it - weather wise and also I'm afraid there might not be places to stay along the way that late in the season not to mention a fear of not getting my 2 stamps a day!
So not only is weather a factor but so are places to stay on both the Frances and Ingles that late in the year and then there is the limited daylight (I might be talking myself out of this...) BTW - I did find a great site regarding the Ingles - pilgrimagetraveler.com
My other option would be to just hold off until late April or May and either do the Ingles or Primitivo.
It's just flights are so cheap right now to buy for November so it's all very temping and if I'm really going to give it any serious thought I need to start planning now...
Thanks in advance for any help!
