Yes, sections :) Since we don't have time to do the entire trek, we are trying to narrow down our path. Just looking for favorite areas from folks who have walked from Porto.
I completed the Frances from St Jean in 2016 and made a wonderful friend from South Africa. We want to do a Camino reunion walk but only have a week. Since we're not able to do the whole route this time around we'd love to know the best sections from Porto to Santiago. Thanks & buen Camino!
This year I walked the Camino Frances March 15-April 15 and the weather varied but wasn't bad - of course there are always crappy weather days anytime of year. If you don't mind it being on the cooler side, you'll be fine! I also really loved the smaller amount of pilgrims.
And yes, the quality...
20 DAYS until PARIS
25 DAYS until ST JEAN
and the beginning of my Camino
I am profoundly excited. I love taking photos (not professionally!) of my adventures. While I plan to be mostly disconnected during this trip I will be snapping tons of photos and uploading occasionally. I'd love for some...
I love the leggings - I found some great Polarmax leggings (Comp4 Stretch Tight) that are technically a base layer but can be worn alone. The are great in the rain, still warm then quick dry. I also do just a basic New Balance light/quickdry legging that's great. Agree that it is nice to have...
Hi Lisa & Hanne! I'll be starting from SJPdP on the 15th so I may run into you during Holy Week! Lots of lovely things going on I'm sure...looking forward to it! Buen Camino!
Hi Sue! I will be setting out in March too, the 15th from SJPdP. Thanks for starting this thread, some good info here! Maybe I'll see you along the way -
Buen Camino!
Hi Professor - would be great to say hello along the way! I see you're from TX...I'm a Bostonian now but spent the majority of life in Little Rock, Arkansas. Depending on my pace, I may see ya! Buen Camino!
I gave ponchos a go but they don't work for me personally. I love my Marmot PreCip ( http://marmot.com/products/details/precip-jacket-new ) along with my pack cover and interior lined with a trash compactor bag (just in case). Arc'teryx has awesome rain gear but they are not cheap at all (I've...
I will have a day in Santiago. I hope to have some extra time - I don't want to over plan but I'm pretty fast so I hope to have some wiggle room beyond the few extra days I have blocked out for resting & exploration. I appreciate all the info everyone!
Thank you for all your feedback! I don't want to plan too much but wanted to have a place to stay at the end of my journey.
Much appreciated! I'm so ready to go...only 59 days...but who's counting?! :rolleyes:
Hi all! Hoping for some feedback from the group on this...I am walking the Camino Frances in March/April this year and should be in Santiago by April 17 and then I've got two days to relax (travelling by bus) in Muxia or Finisterre. Trying to decide where I should relax for those last two days...
Heading out from SJPDP on March 15th. I am looking forward to the quiet start to my walk and landing in Burgos for Easter celebrations. I'm aware of the weather issues and will be hiking my way through the winter here in New England so I'll be prepared.
I've been doing my research along with...
