Hello
I would weigh in with the u derstanding that I have only done the Norte but I did it with others who had done the Frances. I'm sure everything your coffee mates told you is totally true. But if you enjoy a bit of solitude amazing vista's of coast and tiny Pueblo for weeks loads of farms...
Well I'm trying to plan a trip with my oldest son so that makes it more difficult. My other friend rented a house on sardinia in May of next year so I'm being tempted with that too🤣. Have a great walk buen camino
I just bought some salomon low profile water proof hikers and they are really great. I bought them from rei. Used them for a trip in ireland where it's pretty much always raining and my feet stayed nice and dry though the outer shoe was getting lots of water. Recommend these guys for sure. I...
I'm not sure about new zealand but I frequently use Skyscanner app to look for fares and also Google flights can come up with some good #s. From the USA it has seemed for awhile the best location cheapest to fly into Europe is Barcelona? Not sure why but what a great city to travel too then you...
Good morning from California. I am hoping to do the le puye camino next year but I did the camino Norte in 2017. I started May 6th and before I was finished , about 40 days total, I had some very hot days. Walking near the coast the weather was almost always pleasant but as we left the coast to...
Loved all the truth in your post. The fabulous camino adventure is best experienced personally. Others can only take our travel blogs in small doses.
I find that making a detailed record of photos and thoughts is most useful by myself to reflect on in the future to relive a special moment.
It's...
Be prepared for an amazing hike. The 1st week is challenging but the scenery and tortias make it all worth while. My favorite moment is walking from irun then coming around the curve to see the spectacular San sebastian coastline in all its glory. Breath-taking. Buen camino
Hey freewalker
Prepare yourself for a spectacular walk. If oceans vista's on your right and little farm towns on the left for weeks are your ideal then you are in for an amazing hike.
Of course you do pass through some rather large cities but generally is a very scenic and completely beautiful...
Good morning 1st I must say i have not navigated this type of situation before, I expect few people have but I wanted to commend you for being an outstanding human being and parent for doing this. Your kids are so lucky to have you as their parent.
To your point I will say that in my experience...
Good morning totu: yes I had a few moments when doing the Norte when the route was really challenging me physically and my feet were hurting. Even though I was walking through spain and I had planned for so long I was suffering. If your like me I enjoy getting advice and suggestions but I...
Bravo on that decision. I too have been planning for quite a long while to walk the camino with my grown kids. Last couple years saw us buy tickets even to fly from California to Paris but covid slapped us and our plans around and we had to cancel.
If you have the energy and interest a...
