    Texas Pilgrims?

    Re: Texas Pilgrims? I walked the camino from Leon to Santiago in early May 2013. My best advice to you would be to do a lot of hiking in hills with full backpack on before going. I trained a lot before going on flat land, and was unprepared for the hills in Spain.

    Question about Food and Water on el Camino Frances

    Re: Question about FOOD and water on el camino frances We finished our walk from Leon to Santiago on May 17, 2013. We were normally on the road by 7am. The first week there were no bars open at that time, so there was no place to eat breakfast. However, you pass through several small towns...

    the hardest part

    If you haven't trained walking up and down hills, the hike will be extremely hard. We are from Texas, where there are no hills to train on. The hike was a killer for us every day. Hiking on flat ground is practically worthless, other than to get you used to wearing a backpack.

    Class of 2013

    I'm Bill from Dallas, Texas. I will be traveling from Leon to Santiago in early May 2013. All of the posts are a great help in planning the trip. I've been recruiting friends and family to travel with me to no avail, so I will be going solo. Hope to see you on the trail.

    Class of 2013

    I am Bill from Dallas, Texas. I will be 68 when I start from Leon in the first week of May 2013. I have been recruiting friends to make the trek with me, but so far no luck. My wife says I can't go alone, but I figure to make friends along the way. I have already started training.
