Hi - sorry. I put the wrong date for the VdLP. I will walk it in January from Sevilla. I like the solitude and the cold. My last Camino Frances I walked in the winter and it snowed in the meseta! Heaven. I plan to walk on the Sanabres. I don't want to go to Astorga. If I find I must, I will cut...
I agree with staying off-stage. I have done this on every Camino and it worked well. Often, I was the only person in an albergue as other couldn't find beds in the stage in the guidebook. Also, as to the final 100 kms from Sarria to Santiago - in September or October, it might be nice to switch...
I wish you safe walking and a cold snap! I'll be on the VdLP in January. I have adapted to the Galician weather. 40+ and I'd be done for. Enjoy your Camino and walk early in the morning. I hear it's doable at that time.
Hi All - I'm Kelli. I live on the Camino Frances at km 59. Thank you for the add to the forum. It's a tough couple of days coming up weather-wise. On days like these we hand out free water to Pilgrims. I'll set up a table for pilgrims to refill their water bottles. Come by and say Hi!. It's...
Yes - and a wonderful place to start! My favorite little city in Galicia. I hope you are able to spend two days there seeing it all before setting off on your Camino. The Cathedral is really something. And the Roman wall is a must walk to see the city as it should be seen. From above.
I would leave the journal at home and write on your phone or do an audio journal. Extra socks you will want. The electrolytes you can get here in Spain at any farmacia in small lightweight packets. But you'll do well with your pack at the current weight - even with water. I don't think I would...
Hi All
I'm an American writer/blogger living in Galicia on the Camino Frances. I just released my debut novel set on the Camino. Spoiler alert. The Grief of Goodbye: Book One in The Camino Family Trilogy is a book that will make you cry. A LOT! More than anything, as a writer I want to hear...
I live in Galicia and several friends and I have started a Book Club. The Santiago de Compostela Book Club. We make nothing but we wanted to create community amongst Pilgrims who like to read and would like to meet the authors behind the books and discuss them. If you want to join let me know...
