    Age to Check In to Albergue?

    I’m so sad to hear of your wife‘s accident. The night before our last day into Santiago last autumn I slipped and broke two ribs and like your wife had to take a taxi to Santiago via the general hospital there. It’s heartbreaking when it happens. I wish you all well. That’s the Camino.

    May/June or September/October on the Camino Frances?

    I walked the Camino Frances in September/October and the Camino Portuguese in May. I preferred the autumn Camino. The memory of starting to walk in the darkness of the early morning and then watching the breaking of the dawn each day will live with me for ever.

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Camino Frances

    We did it yesterday and it’s absolutely fine. I was dreading the long walk on hard pavements but it’s much easier than the walks into Logroño or Burgos. Hope that helps.
