I understand your frustration! I walked my first (so far only) Caminho before I discovered I have MSA (Mixed Sleep Apnea). I probably kept others up and didn't even realize it.
On my Caminho, I stayed one night in a dorm-style setting albergue. That was enough for me. It's not my "thing." I...
I'm so very sorry to hear this. I hope your friend recovers quickly mentally. The effects of such things are individualistic, so whatever she decides to do is what's best for her (i.e., continue her Camino or not).
I no longer post on social media (and wouldn't here, either) when I'm traveling...
Hi Stan. Gosh, this sounds perfect. I so wish we could join you. However, a family emergency arose, and the girls cannot walk this year. It is still my plan to bring them to Spain next year, and everything I've read about this route makes it sound like a perfect "first" for them. Sorry to miss...
I had no idea. This is very sad indeed. I guess people actually miss the whole point of the journey they are on. Thanks for the heads up.
Bom Caminho!

Hi! Would you recommend this for me & my almost 13-year-old twin nieces of June this year (2015)? I want them to have an authentic Camino experience (their first/we're doing the 100k only on this one) and yet not one that's mostly frustrating, you know? Enjoyable, memorable, but not punishing...
How was your Camino last year, Kevin? I was considering taking my twin almost 13-year-old nieces on the Primitivo in June 2015. But I think I've read enough that it might not be the best for a first one for them. We're doing just the 100K for our Compostela as they've never done anything...
My twin almost 13-year-old nieces & I are walking a 100k Camino right after they get out of school in June, too. Not the Frances, however. I want them to have a more "remote" experience! Wish we were seeing you along The Way :-)
Have a wonderful Camino. I am already guessing before this one is...
Hello IndyRem. So sorry for not responding to your post until now! As you can see, I'm not a 'regular' on this site!
I grew up on the near North side of Indy, in a neighborhood just behind the Humane Society on Michigan Road (once a road I rode my bike on but wouldn't dare now!). I attended...
Hi Stedds! I'm planning a late June Camino in 2015 with my then 13-year-old twin nieces. We've not yet decided on our 100k route, but we've narrowed it down to include this one - Ferrol to Santiago. What do you think? Enough people on the route to be interesting but not over-crowded? Beautiful...
Hi! I'm considering taking my twin nieces in late June 2015 Lugo to Santiago. We're going on a 100-k Camino for certain; still researching routes. Anyone done this route recently and can fill me in on the basics? Terrain, people, places to stay. I'm not looking for the perfect experience, just...
Hi Terry!~ I'm considering this for my twin nieces in June of 2015 - about the same time you walked a year later and the same route for our 100K! They will just have turned 13. It sounds as if the route may be a bit unpopulated? I don't want them to be in isolation, but I'm avoiding the Frances...
Hi Stedds: Could you fill me in if you think this a good route for me and my twin nieces in early April of 2015? They will be just shy of turning 13. We are so excited about our upcoming adventure, and we are still choosing a route. This is one that's recommended, as we have a goal of the 100+k...
Thank you ALL for your feedback. Absolutely what I needed - and everyone with varying pieces of input. I LOVE this! My nieces will have much fun choosing.
I appreciate your support, knowledge, and willingness to share.
Buen Camino! Perhaps we'll meet out there somewhere :-)

Hi M. Yes, isn't the coast in Portugal magical? Unfortunately all my days on the coast in October were in rain! Can you believe that? It hadn't rained in many months, then I arrived in Porto, and the rain began the following day. *SIGH* At least it was a warm rain!
I would love to return and...
