Am so sorry to read this Anja22. And your tale of other folk losing their possesions. All I can say is that when I was in Santiago in March I saw lots of rucksacks and sleeping bags at the side of buildings with no-one near so obviously it was safe then. Presume other factors come into play...
Hi Lorentz hope you enjoy your Camino. From what I understand the albergues arent too full. I couldn't get hold of anyone at the albergue in Pontedueme on my journey but that was early March so I'm sure they will all be open in July. Buen Camino
I hope it goes well. I pre booked in March -very quiet as expected and hoped. Beautiful walk, the trek through the eucalyptus forests should be fantastic in August. Sufficient shady spots to rest. Have a wonderful time

Having spent so much time concentrating on one step at a time.. or stopping to admiring the scenery, rivers and forest, I'm now packed and ready to home. And realise I have no photos to share with those at home. Does anyone recommend a photo book of the Ingles?
I've just walked the Camino Ingles in just under a week..Never done anything like this in my life. Unfit, sedentary job.. some of it was very demanding some blissfully serene. From towns and little villages, farms, forests, and even a beautiful bay, all sorts of scenery and terrain. Possibly the...
Oh something I have learned... when you're wearing your headphones don't dance like a crazy person because although you haven't seen another person for an hour , there's bound to be a whole troupe of school kids looking at you ....
