Absolutely terrified to start
Maryelle, I an concerned that you won't have a chance to be open to your journey of growth if you carry all those expectations with you. Literally. Pat yourself on the back for the planning you've already done, and then? Let them go. Dump them out of your mind. Get out there and walk...- dbier

High Visibility
...nor free outside of Ireland. I remember reading about Spain's law...halfway through the Primitivo. In late September 2023. Fortunately, I *did* know about the late sunrises, and had headlamps and blinking red lights for those days when I started before dawn. But it's highly doubtful...- dbier

Food
Northern Spain cuisines are not the same as Southern Spain. For example, dishes made with rice (paella, arroz con pollo) are more Southern, because rice grows in the south of Spain.- dbier

new hiker from Germany says Buen Camino
I hope you enjoy whatever you choose, but I'm confused. If you're specifically planning a round trip hike, why do you need a "pilgrim pass"( which I assume is a credencial)?- dbier

Doubting Thomas
And, as my son reminds me, from a Heather Dale song entitled "The Road to Santiago... I wondered what they shared that made such disparate men beloved / As they walked along the road to Santiago?"- dbier

Hello 😃
What Peter and C Clearly and David said, and Camino Ways ( and Santiago Ways) will also arrange for pack transport. Or you could start with your pack and then ship day to day with envelopes from TaxiCamino or Jacotrans, since you'll know where you're staying. Get some euros in country . (Ask...- dbier

Hello 😃
I used CaminoWays in 2021 for myself and my husband from Sarria to Santiago. They were very helpful, though I would recommend downloading and using WhatsApp to talk to them in Spain, should you need to. I've heard good things about Santiago Ways, and not so good about FTC, but that's all...- dbier

Maybe a rude question! How old are you?
Hem. Y'all didn't ask, but given how much time I've been spending with doctors lately, you're stuck. ;) Alzheimer’s took my adoptive mother in her 90s, long before her body gave up. Cancer from smoking took my bio mom right before 78. Adoptive father was the longest lived in his family when a...- dbier

Solo Female Traveller?
...already been a victim? Or how good your instincts are? Or should we tell you what you've read above? Neither are necessarily relevant. What *is* relevant is what J Wilhaus has written above, which may be vaguely what your family and friends are worried about. I doubt that any...- dbier

Making a slide show of my Camino
EvleenMann, I apologize for "shouting* at you. Nothing you posted deserved that response. You already know the answer to your question. If you don't have implied or can't get explicit permission to make their faces/names public, you don't.- dbier

Making a slide show of my Camino
...leave the picture, problem solved. If you choose to try to sneak a picture, I'll move away. At that point, I figure you already know that you *don't* have my permission to make it public. Obviously, what you do for private use is up to you. BL: OP, only you know what circumstances...- dbier

Hi! Newbie, here. Looking for seasoned advice on 100k routes & vacay ideas!
If this is likely to be one and done, then the Frances from Sarria is what a majority of pilgrims would choose. As for afterwards...Santiago is good for a couple of days exploration. Or Muxia. Or Lugo ( tho that might only be good for a couple of days) Or even Madrid. Or, fly back with Tap...- dbier

First Camino, lots of questions
Please get a better fitted backpack with a hip belt. Your back will hate you after 2 days of that rig. It's riding too low, the straps are too narrow for your build, and the CPAP will bounce against your...glutes...with most steps. By itself, that backpack might make a decent daypack if you...- dbier

First Camino, lots of questions
...you know that some word choices and all accents are significantly different in Spain. May want to have a listen before you go. Also, if any of your minor ailments require prescription medications, don't assume that you can get same day refills in Spain. it's *very* dependent on the medication.- dbier

Cheap airline flights ?
...a fully refundable ticket. 3. Do you have a current passport? You need one with at least 6 months of margin past your return date. The airline *will* cancel your booking if that's not the case. Now, I fly from the East Coast , and I love Tap Portugal through Lisbon to Madrid. But...- dbier

...you can add In Vicarie Pro to yours, as I mentioned. The church of San Francisco, just down the street from the Pilgrim's Office walking away from the Cathedral, *will* give you two certificates of their own, which appear to have a Latin version of the Blessing on it. I've attached pictures...- dbier

Welcome back. If you should want to, you can have your Compostela inscribed "In Vicarie Pro" with your wife's name at the bottom. Or not, as you choose. Buen Camino.- dbier

Yay! I am planning my Camino for 2025!
:::chuckle::: Good to know. And thanks! You two should, I suggest, talk out expectations on walking and on meals/accommodations before you train together and/or leave. My husband and I do Not walk at the same pace, so we regularly switched up who led, who followed, whether or not we took...- dbier
