- Time of past OR future Camino
- 2019
My husband and I have been walking the Camino Frances in stages since May 2018. SJ to Logroño in May. Logroño to Castrojeriz in October. Planned Castrojeriz to Pontferrada in April. We have enjoyed every step (almost!) and have had the most amazing time. We have placed all our trust that the Camino will provide and have therefore not made plans for accommodation or had any expectations of distances. This has thrown up a few surprises (mostly good). We would love to finish the final part of the journey with our 3 daughters, all in their early 20’s, in July and celebrate the finale of this amazing journey together in Santiago. However, after reading posts on this board, I am worried that the magic will be lost. Will it be too crowded in July? Will we get by without booking accommodation ahead? I doubt if our daughters will appreciate getting up at an ungodly hour to beat the crowds - it is not their usual idea of a holiday.
Would we therefore be better off doing the Portuguese costal Camino? If so we have 11 days, flying to and from Santiago so where should we start?
