I enjoy threads that have a themed topic of pictures, where members can join in with their personal favorites. @David Tallan is in Salamanca and in looking through my own photos of its cathedral, I came across my own of its beautiful organ pipes... -

Greetings, My friend and I walked the CF in 2022 from April 28 to June 1st. We walked for 34 days and added one rest day in Burgos. It would have actually been 33 days of walking but we stayed over at Orisson the first night and reached... -

I walked my first Camino - Frances from SJPD in Sept Oct 2023 - I took around 43 days - planning on walking mostly between 24 to 28 km per day. I was 64 and have a hip replacement but in good shape overall. Used to hiking. I was walking solo-...

Rita Flower replied to the thread How many days off did you take on the CF?.I think June/July are possibly the best months for the Francés. This year for me the weather was not too hot / cold / rainy / windy and pilgrims numbers manageable. Although weather is never predictable- a few days after we left the Pyrenees...

I had in fact tried to book either of those places, but t'was not to be ("no room at the inn"). My suspicion is that the best "guard against failure" option is to hike the first day to The Virgin (about 12km up the mountain, and still on a...

What was your start date? I am going to try to avoid time of year! I am pretty hardy growing up in Wisconsin where was can get 100 degree days in summer and -20 in the dead of winter….but, cold, windy and wet is a recipe for disaster!

Great points. I don't think this will appall anybody on this site (all who are very friendly and helpful). The biggest point to keep in mind about the Camino is "do it your way" - speed, length, stops, packing or portering, etc. There are...

I didn't take any days off until I got to Santiago and I did it in 30+- days. I did have two really short days. One going into Belorado from Granon because it was hot and my friends wanted to stop at the Albergue with a pool. The second short...

Thank you.
I came nowhere near completing the CF, even though I'm in reasonable shape for my age (66), a life-long weight-trainer and had spent months training on hills etc. I had to bail by Logroño, 7 days in. Unexpected, adverse weather in the earliest... -

I took four on my first ever Camino. One each at Burgos, Leon, Ponferrada and Astorga. Actually, I had a full weekend at Burgos, as I needed to seek medical attention for infected calluses on one of my heels. But, I spent one additional day at...
