    Dilemma - please weigh in (all opinions welcome)

    Good luck with whatever route you decide to walk! My personal opinion would be walk a new route; where there are no previous emotional triggers for you. New walk new day new you:) Buen Camino Woody

    First time in Camino and will be traveling solo.

    9 Doing it yourself is part of the fun ; planning your stages, booking your stays, sorting your gear and booking flights all help you get through the months of waiting for the day you start Camino!! It's so much easier than you imagine. Use a company and it costs shed loads of cash for...

    Trouble with Hospitaleros

    A large latte at a Costa Coffee in Benidorm, Spain costs around €8. Some say that Costa Coffee prices are slightly higher than in the UK. In general, So i agree five euros is absolutely extortionate for a bed, shower, a toilet, hot water, somewhere to cook and a roof over your head it's just...

    What’s your favorite Camino?

    The Portuguese was my first and it changed my outlook on life ; this forum has given me the tools! I won't stop now ; there is so much more! Robo's reasoning's are the same ones i have carried my whole life. If i take the time i have to do the same adventure again; will i be missing the...

    Sticker Mania?

    For me they are the same as covid masks, boots hanging in trees, burning clothes and any other nonsense! Leaving your mark only satisfies you;;;no one else cares it's another form of toilet paper. You wouldn't want it in your street outside your home so why is it OK to do it in someone else's...

( i did for my...

    Trekking poles

    Like Trecile i buy cheap from Decathlon about thirty euros the pair and donate them when i fly home! Don't buy the twist to tighten they are a pain. I brought an expensive pair in SJPP for over 60 euros they broke after three days;i repaired them but bent one like a banana when i fell of the...

    Coastal Portuguese - Porto to Santiago but less distance walking

    Hi Michiain! Just to confuse you more i did the Coastal Senda and Spiritual in 2021! Porto is worth a couple of days great place and atmosphere. The second comment i would make is don't miss the Espiritual Variant it was the icing on the cake of the Camino beautiful walk. Make some space so you...

    Walks in Spain or Pilgrim.es????

    Hi Sasha and Welcome to the forum! You get comments for and against using a company to sort your Camino! I agree with all the posts above; sorting your gear, planning the route, booking your stays and the little research you need is all part of your Camino experience! I walked my first at 66...

    Buying an Apartment in Spain?

    HI Robo! I wish you well with your plans! I know this is not Spain; but has some relevance! I think Anhalter has given some insight at what trying to maintain a place thousands of miles from home can be. If you only intend to be in Europe initially for 2 or 3 months a year long term rent it's...

    Camino Frances calls more strongly than the other caminos

    Hi Justjack! This is only how i feel; you and i may want different outcomes from Camino. The Portuguese Coastal and Espiritual Variant was my first Camino! I was excited to go all was new to me and an adventure! The subsequent walks have again given me that feeling! Not knowing is the...

    Anyone ? Experience with Hoka Anacapa

    As in Peters post above i wear Hoka Stinson's as my only shoe ALL the time they last about 1000km maybe more but i don't count!! Indoors, outdoors, and in bed 🤣

    Anyone ? Experience with Hoka Anacapa

    I cant give a recommendation on the Anacapa's; shoes are an individual thing to each person and their feet!! Get the shoes right or they can finish your walk a lot earlier than you want. I don't know which path your walking Coastal, Senda or Central? The Coastal and Senda are more or less free...
