    Newbie in need of advice!

    To my knowledge wild camping in Spain is illegal. If you are really good in bushes, it may work, but otherwise you need to negotiate your pitch with a land owner. If the privacy is a primary concern, you always can get an individual accommodation elsewhere.

    How many Caminos ?
