    Is it okay to have no plan for the first Camino? 🌙

    My first time I walked from Lisbon and stayed on the Central. As I had previously written I really loved it. The infrastructure is far better from Porto than from Lisbon to Porto so you should have no problems. My biggest complaint with the Central was the amount of cobblestone roads. I have to...

    Is it okay to have no plan for the first Camino? 🌙

    Here is the link to the forum pages on the Variante. There is also alot of information online about it. I know that the Buen Camino app has a section on the variante with a GPS map and information. I believe the Wise Pilgrim does also. There is a boat you need to take at the end of the Variante...

    current status of albergue bed availability on CDN

    Yes and try to get to the donativo in Irun early. Last year I walked the Vasco but it starts in Irun. It was my second time in Irun as I did the Norte in 2018. I was there about 45 minutes before it opened. Gronze says it opens at 4PM but i think it opened at 3 but I could easily be wrong. Even...

    Is it okay to have no plan for the first Camino? 🌙

    I think you have received some good suggestions regarding routes. I have not walked the Invierno or the Primitivo but I have friends who can tell you that they are beautiful and caminos you may enjoy. I have walked the from Lisbon in 2017 and loved the CP. I think that the people of Portugal are...

    Is it okay to have no plan for the first Camino? 🌙

    This is not meant to be insulting but it is definitely a criticism. How can you possibly make a judgement of what you will see, feel, experience or people you meet even if you are walking the same camino that has been walked before. I think it is irresponsible to comment on what will happen to...

    Definition of a Pilgrim 🤣

    I knew it was a joke. But at the same time the amounts of money people spend blows me away. Thanks for your comment. You always have something positive to add.

    Definition of a Pilgrim 🤣

    I am not so sure what you mean? I am considered to be a funny guy by those that know me. I know your quote is funny, but at the same time, my personal belief system tells me the money that people spend for camino clothes borders on the obscene. As always, my opinion is as worthwhile as the paper...

    Definition of a Pilgrim 🤣

    I don't have a thick wallet and I know for a fact that everything I bring on the camino I have been wearing for years on my caminos. If you go to closeouts on websites and amazon you can pick up things super cheap. For example, I have an REI backpack that I bought 4 years ago in their outlet...

    If You Are Sick

    I have stayed in at least 30-35 donativos minimum on many different caminos and there are just as many municipal and private albergues that pack people in as much as any donativo. If you reference this study done by the National Institute of Health flu particles can travel to 6 feet and cough...

    The Shell Toucher hat

    You want to see people get emotional when they see my hat. Just look at my kids who see photos of me on the Camino with this hat on and they scream with embarrassment. :) You can take the hood off and it is just another baseball cap. Very light and cool. That is why I like it. But you are right...

    Is it okay to have no plan for the first Camino? 🌙

    I think you have a great attitude for what you need. To be outdoors, breath, walk and hopefully meet some really nice people. I know there are well meaning people who have responded who have no experience as a pilgrim. I read what they write and I know what they say today may be so, so...

    Dentist in Burgos

    I would call ahead to wherever you may be planning to stay. The hospitalerio/owner/manager whoever answers may have a good recommendation for you.

    Stage 28

    Not to get into a pissy match about this. If having a little fun with the person is such a capital crime and my stunt his/her emotional and spiritual development, there are far more profound issues that what I said. By the answers the OP is getting the inexperienced folks may just learn how to...

    Stage 28

    Is it stage 28 on the CF, Norte, VDLP, Vezelay, Le Puy? The answer is who knows and it is fun to have some fun while he can easily post where he is and where he wants to go. Learning to be specific, especially on this forum can cut down on needless information because the OP has not made their...

    The Shell Toucher hat

    You want a great hat that covers almost everything from Your neck up? Is cool and if you need to cool your head off just dunk it in cold water and put it back on? Here you go: https://www.outdoorresearch.com/products/sun-runner-cap-300299

    If there are too many pilgrims, what is a pilgrim to do?

    Yes those little trees have gotten taller. My first camino was right around your camino. The woman who introduced me to the Camino walked in 2002, She was advised even then to skip the Meseta. What I remember was village after village that seemed almost deserted as I walked through. Often times...

    If there are too many pilgrims, what is a pilgrim to do?

    Every idea or perspective that is expressed without absolutism is fine by me and just as valid as anything I may think or say.

    If there are too many pilgrims, what is a pilgrim to do?

    I am glad you got this. But I think you completely missed what I was trying to say but that is ok no worries. Buen Camino
