On my first Camino (Francês) I was in doubt until the last day. I was almost decided to walk to Muxia. But when I worke up in Olveiroa, the friends I made there decided that it was a hard walk to Muxia, and I had a very injuried knee, só we all headed to Finisterra and it was great. In mid May...
My idea is to start my Mozarabe in mids february, in order to avoid walking the last part of it in summer - people should be aware of the high temperatures in Extremadura, which can be almost deadly, even for me, used to brazilian sunny beaches! So I guess it is really going to be my most...
Thank you so much for sharing! There are still little information about mozarabe. I plan to walk it from Almería also. But I intend to go further, al the way to Santiago de Compostella and Muxia and Finisterra (through Trujillo and then to Sanabrés-Ourense). But I am aware that it is going to...
It is a wonderful thing to do sketchbooks through Caminos. I, myself, am a urbansketcher. Every Camino a cary tiny wattercolourset, a small brush and a sketchbook. Infortunatly, I never did a complete travelbook as I intended. First, there are days in which I arrive late in the albergue, having...
Well, it is a hard question to answer, because I think there is no objective answer. It depends on the context. For exemple, when it comes to lodging, I kinda understand the volunteers position (as long as they where respectful when they talked to the women): when someone are doing turism, there...
Thank you. I like solitary routes, and I do speak french, so it's going to be a good opportunity to meet some time with local peoplo and experience a bit of normandy culture. For now, I have one more question, specificly about the bay crossing. I would deffinetly book a guided tour, I already...
I plan on doing Rouen to Mont-Saint-Michel on Spring or on Autum 2025. I know that on can never be sure about the stanges of a route until it is acctually done, because so many things can happen; planning never equals reallity. That's part of the charm. Anyway, we must have some parameter to...
Hy, the only route experience that I have in France is my first night in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, in 2019. I mostly walk inside Spain, through different Camino de Santiago routes. But now, I plan to walk for about a week ou 10 days strictly in France, to the Mont-Saint-Michel. I did not see much...
Have you always slept in family houses ("chambre d'hôtes", or in "accueil miquelots")? In my others experiences, mostly through Spain and Portugal, I used to stay in albergues municipales or albergues paroquiales. I think family houses will offer a rich experience, especially in a route with few...
Thank you for sharing the experience. I'm seriously thinking about walking Rouen to Mont-Saint-Michel in 2025. As every pilgrimage, I know that there are a lots of itinerarys. I have not decided myself yet. For now, though, I think about this one (Rouen). Others important competing options are...
Thank you so much for that. I did not realise that the problem was only on the english language option. And I actually speak french best. I spend months searching usefull information about St. Michael's Way, and they all came to that website, with its flaws. Only yestarday, after reading your...
How was the weather and the landscapes this time of the year? I intend to walk the mozárabe from almería to Santiago (and Muxía y Finisterra) starting next february or march. Because I know that is dangerous to walk in Extremadura in May or June; it can get unbearably hot. On the other hand I'm...
I decided to do Almería - Santiago - Muxía - Finisterra, starting february or march 2024.
I hope you do walk your Mozárabe this september and post it here, because there is not many detailed reports from this camino. Specially for those who walk it by foot (usually the ones who do it from...
