Camino Primitivo 19th May 2017
Starting this Camino from Oviedo. Walked CF in 2013 (Oct/Nov), 18 days of Camino del Norte in 2015 (Sept), now taking on the Primitivo. I was too ambitious and didn't train enough on the Norte, so now I hope I'm more realistic, and am also training much more. Buen Camino todas!- bogtotter18

Cost of Camino
Absolutely agree. When I walked the camino a Danish couple ran out of cash because they expected an ATM in a small town, and there wasn't one. Plan ahead for where the ATMS are.- bogtotter18

What causes people to stop their caminos?
For myself, (walked CF in Oct/Nov 2013), I found the pilgrimage to be 50% physical, 40% mental & the 10% spiritual/undefined. The physical bit got easier after 2 weeks when the body became tuned.

I walked the Camino Frances in Oct/Nov 2013, so it will be good to remove some cobwebs from my legs with closer coastal stretches. Hope to meet lots of fellow pilgrims, the amazing local Spanish who are just incredibly hospitable, and the yummy seafood! Booked into Irun on 19th September...- bogtotter18

Very good video, really enjoyed it. My crossing on 9th Oct 2013 was misty, with 10m visibility at the top, so this video showing sunshine makes a pleasant change, and brings back all the memories of the first of many days.- bogtotter18
