Started the pilgrimage yesterday (23rd March), walking from Ise Jingu Naiku to Tamaru. Took the train back to accommodation in Ise as there's nothing available in Tamaru. Was raining the whole day. Very easy and straight forward route all paved...
I can also vouch for Caminofacil. Based on our experience, they are more expensive but they have an English-speaking contact that can be easily reached on Whatsapp, they're very efficient and will do their best to accommodate your request. We...

I agree - it is a shame when people just simply cannot behave... and for crying out loud it REALLY DOES NOT...
The pilgrim started being unpleasant at the café in "town" (Villares de Orbigo). He started drinking really early (I arrived early since we had done a moon shine walk that night) and was drunk before dinnertime. Nothing directly towards me, but...
