Camino Portugues (June/July 2020)
Hello Everyone,
I am planning to walk the Camino Frances with my daughter to begin the day after she graduates from 8th grade (June 19th) starting in Saint Jean. I would like this to be a bonding experience for us as she and I have a somewhat strained relationship and would also like to have a shared experience with her before she starts high school. Some German friends are warning me of how crowded and difficult it will be to secure beds during this period and I am worried that this trip will turn into a stressful situation and only lead to more conflict between us. Due to the school holiday, this is the only time of the year we would be able to go. Also, my son and husband might join us early July for a week and I am concerned this might make securing beds even more difficult. Will it be possible to anticipate the distance we plan to cover a day or two in advance and call for reservations especially as we get closer to Santiago? Also, I have read a few posts about walking with teenagers, but if anyone has additional advice to add, it would be welcome. We completed a four day Inca trail and other hikes in Peru that she enjoyed last summer to give you some idea of her level of persistence. Thank you everyone.
