At Granon 2008 4th of July "Mrs Crumble " from Corsica enlivened the meal with a great "Apple treat". As there were several pilgrims from our former colony, a great evening was had.
Not a wilderness walk! take those things you think you need! In Santiago people leave behind liquids that cant travel in the cabin, so for many years I have showered in a kingly manner for the last few days .
I throw away old items as I walk and buy bits and pieces from markets, keeps the...
Put together all the things that you are told that you need!
Try then, to get rid of all the things you think you really don't need *, then add about litre of liquid PLUS! Warm clothing for the Pyrenees in April? Find weight add food snacks for full day.
Look for a rucksack that fits you and...
I have walked and cycled quite a few caminos since 1999, now at 73 years of age have slowed down a bit.
I walked inland this April from Lisbon and this coming year intend to cycle the coastal route from Lisbon to Santiago on the same folding bike that I did V.d.plata then St jean in 2013 and...

May and October are the peak visiting months in Fatima...
Cycled Via Plata on a mini folding bike in 2013, getting to and from London airports was a pain. Will might have to use late season flights as June-August major gardening. EasyJet is a very good firm so thanks for your posting.
Two weeks gives you so many choices, I am in my seventies. last year Porto to Santiago solo along coastal route 10 full days while in 2015 the same but inland took 9 days so plenty of time .
The French route is really a must and I walked it several times as well as taking a folding bike from...
research! don't look at adverts. try using!
Or see what others are using! I have done quite a few hikes all over Europe and a little beyond. But the camino stjdp to Santiago needs no tents or heavy loads. A Sack size of 40 litres will carry on as hand luggage and be easily big enough for your...
Lisbon -Porto- Santiago using coastal route is about 2-3 days more than inland route. Porto-Santiago coast well served with hostels and quite well signed. Be aware that the ferry across to Spain is closed on Mondays.
The friends you meet and walk will sort of set your rhythm, with some days...
