Personally, I'm hoping to walk again in September. I don't see widespread vaccinations happening before the summer. I won't be traveling until I have been vaccinated and the majority of the population where I'm traveling to has been vaccinated also.
I'm hoping to do the Norte/Primitivo, but have no idea exactly when, so I won't be making reservations this far out.We are planning for September 21 too! Apparently so are many others judging by the difficulty getting rservations in good private establishments in larger towns along the CF.
If you are planning to walk the Camino in September, I suggest you consider making reservations! If the Camino opens up and travel bans are lifted, I think there could be a surge of walkers and insufficient beds on the CF....Here is why.
Even if we are all vaccinated by then, according to the CDC the virus will still be around and we will continue to need to distance and wear masks. Therefore, albergues, which currently, have less capacity than before the pandemic, may still not have the overnight capacity they had before the pandemic. And will some of those albergues that closed due to the pandemic be able to reopen? In addition, it is a Holy Year! Many private establishments in towns like Portomarin are already fully occupied on certain days in September.
I know you already know about the CF, Trecile! I was trying to alert any Newbies. Hope you can get to do the Norte/primitivo in September!I'm hoping to do the Norte/Primitivo, but have no idea exactly when, so I won't be making reservations this far out.
I think that's a very wise approach, both for one's own wellbeing but also for that of those around us, fellow travellers and hosts alike. Without wishing to trivialise anything, some of us (me included) will remember the days when we weren't allowed to travel until we had had a smallpox inoculation. Eventually that paid off.I won't be traveling until I have been vaccinated and the majority of the population where I'm traveling to has been vaccinated also.
It's still all very fluid and situational. Apart from @Sixwheeler's UK based comment, here in Oz my latest understanding is that we are not even allowed out of Australia until March earliest. That's not a comment on when people should travel or not, but simply an attempt to highlight that we are still far away from the thing we used to call "normal".I think that you are pushing your luck if you want to walk in March.
As the post above yours saysI thought a lot of casas are still open? I'm confused by this post. I thought I only need a negative pcr test to travel into Spain? I'm planning on travelling many times to the Camino next year.

Like you, my wife and I want to walk the French Way in September 2021 but we realize we’re rolling the dice. We booked our flight and 1st night in Orisson. We both are Covid vaccinated and are hoping that may help in some way. Went been in hold for 2 years and we will continue to book each year until it’s open. Wish you well and hope it happens for you. Bob from OregonThank U very much. I am very happy to find out for this forum. It would be really nice that this situation settles little bit down so we can take the walk by beautiful Spain
Barney- we booked fir September 2021 but realize that’s a risk. Hope it happens for you (and us). Good luck!Ok so reading the above comments maybe 2022 is a better option... but then thats going to possibly be crazy busy too given a lot of us who were planning to walk Sept 21 will be changing our plans. I guess its just a case of sit these next few months out.. see what eventuates with vax and countries policies and think more seriously about dates after June 22??
But I cant wait to walk!!! And Im getting older gah!!!!
