    What's a Slow Walker?

    Is a sleeping bag or a liner enough for the Camino in April?

    Growth in pilgrim numbers on the Invierno

    I walked the Invierno in 2018, my last camino before severe illness in my household and the covidpandemi. I would like to walk again, preferably my years of planned Camino de Madrid continuing on the Invierno. But I guess so many years have gone and I feel too old to walk alone. On the Invierno...
