Shells replied to the thread Camino Ingles - how immersive an experience have you found it?.The Ingles was my first Camino. I did no research, no training, and had no expectations, beyond thinking it would be an adventure and give me time to finally figure out what I should have said and done differently, during one of the worst years... -
I'm the one who can't remember which is my left or right! Just as likely to step in front of the bike as away from it.

Shells replied to the thread Monasterio de Santa Maria de Carracedo.Thank you so much for your suggestions.

hi @Shells I absolutely would recommend Santa Maria de Eunate (very small detour after Alto Perdon, once getting into Muruzabal there are signs to your left advising you to move that way). To some chagrin the Web Info suggests it is temporary...

Shells replied to the thread Monasterio de Santa Maria de Carracedo.Oh, please let me know what it’s like! I ended up deciding to pass on Carracedo because the website says that it’s closed on Monday, which is the day we’ll be the vicinity. So now I have another reason to go back!
