OH YEAH! Plan to continue on to Finisterre. I am so depressed that I did not go. I had time, but not to do everything, I chose to hug the apostle and attend mass instead. Wish I would have done it all.
Also if your iPod is a touch there is a Camino App by Eroski Consumer, it has maps...
3. Do people bring walking sticks with them? Or do you pick up one along the way! :D
You can do whichever. I did not carry a stick but only did from Sarria to SDC. Two of my friends used sticks and two of us didn't
4. Looking into trousers- was thinking light combats, have the added benifit...
you are my hero! I will be walking from Ponferrada to Santiago in August. I have saved your info and will compare with my plans and I will be all set :-) Good work! I am planning to do the same, log where I stay and post when I return
My dad and I were just discussing me spending a few more nights with family and cutting the trip so now I should be walking from Ponferrada to Santiago from August 13-25 :-)
One of my favorite sites for this is
http://caminodesantiago.consumer.es/los ... o/frances/
It is in Spanish and extremely informative :-)
Hope it helps
First I want to say there should be a folder for months walking so people can connect, and if there is I would love to be pointed in the right direction :-)
Is anyone thinking they will be between Leon and Santiago in August. I am looking to start walking from Leon on August 11 or 12 and have...
If only you were there in August. I am walking for my first time starting around Aug 11. I would love to have someone to practice my Spanish with. I am sure I will find someone. Have a great time on your camino!
Thank you everyone for the wonderful advice! I agree the Camino Will Provide! I have a new question for veterans, I have found several towns with campsites, any idea what the rate to sleep outside is? I am definitely taking my sleeping bag (It is only 1 lb)
Thanks!
I will be walking from Leon to Santiago in August and my family in Spain is worried that the albergues will be full and I will have nowhere to sleep... I am not afraid to sleep on the ground if I have to, but is this really a problem? I know it is Holy Year... what do you think?
Will anyone...
I definitely think that people over estimate shoes and forget about socks. Your socks are just as important as your shoes. You want to change your socks in the middle of your walk. As far as buying make sure they also have good support and are cool max/wicking.
I am considering taking a pair...
So, maybe I should have started with saying my father is from Spain. A small town just North of Leon. Also, he did not tell me outright no, which was good. I have lots of respect for my parents and I think it is because I know to overshoot when I ask for things and that we always come to a...
I have never walked and am in the process of gathering information... Did you eat breakfast in the albergue, or just outside somewhere? How much did it cost you?
Gracias
