    ?Starting Sureste in early March

    @Maxie Thank you very much, seriously that is for me some great news. I think I will start the Sureste as I will be in Alicante for work and see if I like this Camino, if I don't I will move to Norte. Thank you a lot Maxie!!

    ?Starting Sureste in early March

    Hey @Maxie may I also ask you if the Sureste is doable if you are like me on a strict budget? I was getting information about the Camino del Norte and I saw there are many albergues or municipales that cost less than 10€ per night, I was then trying to find some info about the pices on the...

    ?Starting Sureste in early March

    Thank you very much @Maxie I had ordered the Sureste guide from the Asociaciòn de Amigos de Santiago en Alicante as due to work reasons I will be in Alicante till the end of June. However I think the Sureste might be a little too lonely for me (I am an introvert but I also need to meet and talk...

    ?Starting Sureste in early March

    Hey @Maxie thank you very much for the invaluable information. Walking the Sureste, did you find its landscape boring or not? I can't decide whether walking the Sureste as I will be in Alicante in July or get a bus to Irun to walk the Camino del Norte. I saw you have also walked the Norte...

    Can I take my trekking poles as carry-on baggage?

    Hey @Cbflores It depends on the Flight Company. I will fly with RyanAir and I asked them just to be sure, they told me if they can fit in the carry-on luggage, they are allowed. I am using a 40L and they can fit inside. To be sure try to contact the Customer Service of the Company you will fly...

    Maybe its me

    I totally agree with you Sporkie. I had chosen the Camino Francés as my first camino in Spain and I liked it, but I wouldn't be able to walk it again. Too many tourists and loud obnoxious people. But everyone has a Camino that suits his present life, I had a time for the CF and now I need less...

    Info request about starting point

    Thank you very much Mike! I had downloaded those tracks already, just in case I choose to walk the Azahar at the last minute, thinking about it it shouldn't be hard to follow the arrows. Problem (anyone can confirm this please?) - I have read that on the Azahar there are not pilgrims albergue...

    Info request about starting point

    Thank you very much MikeJS I have read your post thoroughly and is full of useful information. Surely Cartagena is tempting however I am afraid the CAmino del Azahar to Pétrola is not well marked, that is my main concern. Thank you very much for your opinion!

    Info request about starting point

    Hello, I have decided walking el Camino del Sureste in July (I know, it will be hot :') ). I have read the previous threads and and full of useful information, for that I thank you so much. I am opening this thread because I am in doubt where is the best place to start, as before walking the...

    Free camping with tent, is it possible? Also a question about nudist beaches

    @Tincatinker I get your point but imagine this situation: You get to the destination of the day but you don't like it for whatever reason, so you decide to continue even though is getting late (when I walked the Camino Francés I never walked less then 33-38km a day, except for the first day...

    Free camping with tent, is it possible? Also a question about nudist beaches

    Thank you all very much for your messages and sorry if I reply only now but I don't use the computer so often. @CaminoJoy123 Thank you very much! I called it "free camping" as english is not my L1, but yes mean camping in nature, so "wild camping", ok. :) now I know. I have already decided to...

    Free camping with tent, is it possible? Also a question about nudist beaches

    @Kanga I am sure it is beautiful, just looking at the pictures got me goosebumps, however I am not looking for a walk - albergue experience, I did it in the past already. I was thinking about my past camino experiences and at the end of the day I must say it is not very different from rural...

    Free camping with tent, is it possible? Also a question about nudist beaches

    Thank you @Kanga =). When I looked at the pictures I was thrilled to walk the C. del Norte, however by what I am reading here I am starting to think it is very far away from my needs, so I think I will have to plan another route with less tourism involved, that maybe parallels the Camino de...

    Free camping with tent, is it possible? Also a question about nudist beaches

    Thank you all for the messages, sorry for my english, but maybe I wrote wrong, I wasn't asking "permission" to camp, I will camp. I was asking if someone did this kind of camino with a tent. I also walked 2 times the frances and once Via de la Plata and stayed in albergues. It was an awesome...
