    My first camino with (a) kid(s)--> need help!

    Read what I say about Covid in my post. I ask for advice about strollers than you can give advice on strollers. If my stance on Covid is not clear, just ask. Unsolicited advice doesn’t have the impact you want it to have. Even if your intentions are noble.

    My first camino with (a) kid(s)--> need help!

    You didn’t ask me any questions pepi. Realize that’s why this is your ego talking, not mine. Maybe you are worried about the safety of my children, maybe you even think that i’m an egoistic dad. It’s all good. Just ask questions. I take your worries into consideration. Thanks!

    My first camino with (a) kid(s)--> need help!

    Thx so much. I will do some practicing with my oldest. If she can walk 5k without problems then this is a valid option!

    Thanks! I searched for a lot, but not on 'chariot'!

    My first camino with (a) kid(s)--> need help!

    This made me think. I could fly on Santiago with the whole family. Maybe bring my sister in law with us. Then take a bus with my oldest to Sarria and walk with her to Santiago, while the rest wait for us over there. So a trekking pushchair would be sturdy enough? Hahaha and the apologies are...

    My first camino with (a) kid(s)--> need help!

    Thx for your input David! That's just it David, I don't care too much for the memories. It's the experience you'll give them. Two examples: - Noya, my 'baby' of 2yo, says hi and waves to eveybody when she sits in her stroller. I like to think that that's partly due to me, because I say hi to...

    My first camino with (a) kid(s)--> need help!

    Hi all, I call myself a camino veteran. I hope to walk my 14th camino this October (fingers crossed with Covid). I know the Frances really well. Walked it alone, with friends, with my father and sister, with a colleague, but now the time has come for a camino with (a) kid(s). Just for a week...

    COVID New start dates?

    Beautiful, I can feel and understand your emotions. I walked 10 years in a row. 2019 was the year I didnt walk because my daughters were in the hospital for 4 months. You feel incomplete. But Biarritsdon, I walked in two holy years. By head, 2010 and 2014 (an extra holy hear). I didn’t feel it...

    First Camino Route planning by town and km

    I use it for all my Camino’s. Really good planner. But beware. Last June I was using it on the Via de la Plata and the albergue on my list was closed for more than a year. This meant I had to walk another 15k without water in 47 degrees. So, if the stop is important for you, check availability...

    Minimum time to get that Camino-feeling

    For me, there is no minimum time. Since 2009 I’ve been on Camino’s 11 times. Last year I went twice. First in June with 47 degrees from Mérida. I only had 5 walking days. It was awesome. In November I went with my father to the Francés. 4 walking days. Perfect.

    Eating vegan diet on the Camino

    You are talking about (political) ideology. Why? Actually what you say to me in other words is: "live and let live". I would ask you to do the same and think about more than human lives. ☺

    Eating vegan diet on the Camino

    “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” -Maya Angelou This june will be my tenth time on the Camino (arrived 3 times in Santiago). I will be walking from Merida for about a week (cannot miss my baby daughter any longer). I'm a vegetarian and becoming a...

    4 days SDC> Muxia> Finisterre
