Also, one more question for the group - does anyone know if it's possible to do this in 4 or 5 days? or too mountainous to try and deviate from the prescribed stages? I'm struggling to find good maps that show me what's in between the cities in the stops listed in links above
Thank you so much for the information, I really appreciate it! One more question - any idea what elevation profile is like? I'd imagine it's much more like the 1st and 2nd days of the Camino Frances rather than the rest of the Frances (relatively flat).
Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew about the celebrations in Santiago this year. July 25th is a Monday, so I wasn't sure if the celebrations would be starting on Friday, or if they begin Monday and continue on into the week. Any insights are appreciated!
Hello all! So I have all the information I need on the current health/travel restrictions and info in Spain and France that I need. I'm also living in Spain at the moment and have seen that most of the regions are moving out of their covid restrictions if they haven't fully already. That being...

Hello all,
I'm currently working on planning my next Camino, I mean to do the Norte, but I'm trying to decide how I should finish the trail. Should I continue all the way along the Norte to Santiago, or branch off on the Primitivo to get to Santiago? Any differences in terms of feel, terrain...
Hello all :) I have been walking the Camino Frances for about 7 days now. I started out knowing my pack was a bit too heavy, but not so heavy that I couldn't carry it, and I thought it could be a good opportunity to get a bit stronger. In the past 7 days I've had problems with my ankles being...
