    Hello 😃

    Before I forget: Program 112 into your phone labelled 'Police/ Fire/ Ambulance' . Then should you ever need to use it, it will be super easy to find! Alert cops is an excellent app, they speak English, you can send them photos, report any type of crime, even request assistance - it's not just...

    Hello 😃

    Very good points: training and poles! You've only got a few weeks so keep the training easy, don't go pushing and injuring yourself. It's more important to walk regularly than to walk long distances. A few kilometres three or four times a week will benefit you far more than one day on the...

    Hello 😃

    Nita, welcome. Hopefully by the time you read this you have already booked, I'd hate you to miss out on a fantastic experience! I walked the Primitivo mid July last year, so the same timeframe as yourself. It's a wonderful Camino. I am a seasoned traveler but I still also occasionally book...

    How To Prepare for Camino - First Timer

    Samantha, welcome to the forum. As mentioned above, a quick answer based on the minimal information you've given isn't really possible. It very much depends on what exactly you are looking for. You don't mention which Camino you wish to walk next May, how long you intend to allow yourself, your...

    @KiwiBob , that's stunning! Glad you're enjoying. Shame that you felt forced into booking but so along as you enjoy the camino that's all it matters

    Le Puy Camino Starting May 27th 2024 - Anyone else walking then?

    I recall reading this thread so there's at least one person! https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/accommodation-on-le-puy-route.84992/ You could always pm them

    Buen Camino!

    Welcome to the forum! 1/ it depends a little on which of the many Camino's you're meaning but as regards the Camino Frances: Albergue costs tend to vary between 8 through to 25 euros per night. As regards a donativo, that comes down to what you can afford. As a general guideline you should...

    1st May at SJDP , anyone ?

    You are in for a real treat! A few nerves are healthy. Hope you have a great journey!

    Nervous first timer

    @garlicbread , you've now got the first part sorted, you'll be fine. Some good advice above. Two things that nobody has yet mentioned: 1/ in your phone contacts load the number 112 under police/ fire/ ambulance. That way in an emergency you don't have to think, it'll be there for you. Secondly...

    1st May at SJDP , anyone ?

    @AsmaAli , with your start date now in just 3 days time you must be excited, perhaps already travelling. Buen Camino!

    Pelgrims from Czech Republic?

    @JanusDT , a friend of mine from Czech republic ( ironically we met on the Primitivo last year) just got back to me about your salary. Her reply: "Well it depends on the circumstences- if you have to pay a rent,if you live alone or with someone, in a big City or in a village.. but i think you...

    Pelgrims from Czech Republic?

    @JanusDT , I'm biased, I loved the Primitivo, I would start walking it again tomorrow if I could. Beautiful Camino

    You had me wondering too! 9kg is still pretty significant, but if you’re comfortable with it, that’s all that really matters. You could of course spend the evening jettisoning 2kg, and swapping the boots for trail runners… :) Or just enjoy a good meal, a nice glass of wine, and put your...

    Introducing myself--hello from Philadelphia!

    @JGardner , welcome to the forum! There's loads of great information on here, and a bunch of interesting personalities to boot. A thousand and one rabbit holes to go down, and many, many hours of reading. If, after a little research, you can't find an answer to a Camino related question, ask...

    Solo Female Traveller?

    @shortwander, firstly, welcome to the forum! I think it’s good that your family and friends are cautious, it shows they care. But they’re needlessly concerned. Being male, my viewpoint is of course not the same as yours. But nearly half the people I met last year on my two Caminos were single...
