    Concerned

    It probably would be a good idea to prebook 5 days in advance, when you get comfortable with your daily walking rate, given it is a Holy year, and somewhat of a post-covid year., It gives you a destination to work for, rather than depending on providence.I have a friend on the Camino...

    Took the Plunge and Booked for July 2021!!

    Spain is scheduled to drop the mandatory 2 week covid-19 quarantine on 1 July. So, if it is not extended, you should not have to quarantine if arriving on 1 July. Hopefully, Spanish provincial closures will be over in July.

    Sleeping in a dorm room where there's someone with a CPAP

    A CPAP is *much* less noisy than snoring. But, I've had complaints from my snoring, and had one guy complained about my travel Cpap.

    What's your favorite sello (stamp) from the Camino?

    Favorite sello on the Camino Frances was a melted red wax sello, with a ribbon and a dangling pair of feet. Somewhere between Palas de Rei and Melide - La Huell Don't remember the exact location.

    Completed Camino Frances May 23

    Istvan and Barbara, a Hungarian couple rented the building and ran Corazón Puro for many years, but had to go back to Hungary in 2017 because of some family health problems. Corazón Puro is a trade marked name, and apparently an Argentinian then rented the building and stole the name...

    Starting Camino Frances the 2 May, 2019

    Hello. This Michigan native will be walking from Santiago to Finisterre starting on June 4, and then on to Muxia. May see you on the road, if you take 34 days to get to Santiago. Roots and Boots in Santiago is a very good albergue. Buen Camino.

    Walking the CF for the Second Time?

    Took four summers for me to finish the CF, as I only had 2 weeks at a time. Will probably be going back in 2021, to walk the entire CF at one time.

    Arrived in Santiago June 2018, after walking for 46 days, split over four summers. Here I am crossing into Galicia. Drizzly rain that day, only 2 days of rain out of 46. Buen Camino, Scott.

    Best time of year - Santiago-Finisterre-Muxia

    It is about 90km from Santiago to Finisterre, so walk at what ever pace is comfortable. Some people do 30km a day or more, some people only do 20km a day. So 3 or 4 days would get you there. Remember, it is not a race.
