    Need any advice for an inexperienced student group hoping to hike 4 days on their first camino

    The students said that the small section of the Camino they hiked was really good. It was a time of reflection and learning for them. The next group that comes will be arriving in April, and will get to spend a bit longer, about a week, on this section. Thank you to everyone who has helped in...

    Need any advice for an inexperienced student group hoping to hike 4 days on their first camino

    Hi! Well, the goals of the program are to expose the students to a wide variety of activities. The yoga studio was just a convenient, and beautiful location for the group to do their orientation upon arrival.

    Need any advice for an inexperienced student group hoping to hike 4 days on their first camino

    Hi! Well, I have a route planned yes, and I hope it all goes well. I'm trying to find ways that the group can get a ride partway should they not be able to walk an entire stage. I'm hoping it will go well though! Thank you!

    I appreciate your help and advice! Yes, I agree, this is not something to be approached lightly, as just another trek. Our leaders will give lots of framing to the students before heading out.

    The group will be studying migration in many forms, illegal, legal, from rural to urban and religious. Yes, Spain has an infrastructure for refugees. The students will be learning a bit about this in Tarifa. Thank you for your reply!

    Need any advice for an inexperienced student group hoping to hike 4 days on their first camino

    The container experience into Madrid would be extremely experiential for sure, but I'm guessing the parents would be a bit displeased with me :) I am ok with the route being challenging to the group, I want them to be tired at the end of the day and have good discussion and learning about the...

    I like the way you think, and this is a great point to be honest. Migrants and refugees receive no choice often with where they have to go, and its usually not pretty. Thank you!

    Need any advice for an inexperienced student group hoping to hike 4 days on their first camino

    Thank you for your reply. The group leaders are very experienced with long distance back packing trips, and have led many groups in longer situations. That is good! The students will have light backpacks (day bags) and good shoes. The leaders have been involved in these discussions as well...

    Hello friends, I'm seeking any information about the refugio in Pinos Puente. In particular, I was wondering if anyone knows if it would be able to hold 10 people? I can't seem to find any information. Thank you so much for any help!

    Thank you for the help. I'm hoping it wont be as hot as August. They would probably start walking around the 24th of September. I will not be accompanying them, but there will be two leaders with them who are very experienced with groups in outdoor situations.
