When I arrived in SdC, i was surprised how many rainbow and LGBT comunity I saw in that old catholic city. Did not expected that. What you think about that?
Agree. And language knowledge does not affect it.
And Im not complaining. I just wrote my experience. The most important aspect for me in the whole Camino is walking/hiking in the nature. Other just a minor things that i dont care much about...
Yes. Once a week I did a walking of 50 - 90km. It takes me between 9 and 17 hours. Depends on how many stops I did. In that day usualy Im not doing my other trainings like running, boxing, cycling, swimming or gym. I posted my Garmin statistics before in some post, you can check there. Soon I...
My Camino was best trip of my life. I can not imagine something better than this. Hmm... Actually i can, a trip like this but a much longer. Too bad im studying right now. Just want to walk forever.
Its ok. Little English is enough.
One of my camino friends started in Le Puy and he said he never had a problem with comunication in France. He is only English speaker (from US).
Thats one of my things in backpack i never used 🤣
About a language. First thing, all my life I recognized English as an international language. In Israel all people know English and it's hard for me to imagine that in some countries a big part of people doesn't know it.
Second, if someone...
When i was walking from SdC to airport, i saw like a 42 milions of kids with camino tshirts and small backpacks. I didn’t even understand if it was the pilgrims or some kind of walk from school to Santiago.
Oh, totally forgot about that. Thank you for reminding me.
Before my flight i took 300 euros, and when i came back, i had 204 euros. I saw only one place that dont accept card. A few places preferred cash, so i payed with cash. Most places accept cards. I think in few years all places will...
Two days ago I finished my Camino (Ponferrada ->SdC -> Finisterre -> SdC -> Airport). Did it in 10 days. In total it was like 440 km. I did some training before camino, so this pace/km per day was good for me.
Where I stayed? I don't remember almost all the towns and albergues names. I just...
Wearing right now Lone peak 5, did 170 km in 4 days and it feels great. Walked 2 days in rain and this shoes dries super fast! I strongly recomend this shoes.
Ok, now i can answer to my own question 🤣
Today i did my first day of Camino. From Ponferrada to Trabadelo (started at 8am and finished at 3pm. There was a lot of rain, but i just walked in rain and it was good exierience. Just have a good rain clothes. Btw, i used some plastic poncho over my...
I have a good rain clothes (Pants, Jacket, cover for backpack). Only shoes dont have rain protection (Altra Lone peak 5). Also will buy umbrella when i arrive to Spain.
No :( i have exactly 9 walking days for Camino Invierno. I think, if it will be heavy pouring rain all that days, ill go Frances instead of Invierno. Less km per day, more time to hide in shelters.
Starting in tuesday in Ponferrada and saw the weather forecast for a week :confused:
Is this a "walkable" weather or better to stay in albergues for rainy days?
What people usualy do, when its 90% of rain and thunderstorm?
