Hello
Have you walked the Camino de Mallorca? I understand that it is 4 stages on the island and then continues on the mainland to Barcelona.
Any information is appreciated.
FYI Plan accordingly.....
There is a huge music festival in Monte de Grozo right outside of Santiago the weekend of June 15-17 called O Son do Camiño.
Easily over 20,000 attend. Very limited places to stay in Santiago and surrounding areas and very expensive $$$.
I found out there is a 3 day outdoor music concert in Santiago from 16 to 18 June. Expected attendance over 100,000!! Hence the shortage of accommodation. . So I took a deep breath, regrouped and booked a hostal in O Pedrouzo ($80 euros) 20 km out of Santiago on the Frances route. So I'll walk...

I agree totally with this advice. 20k per day or less for the first week.Sometimes it made sense to plan rest days or take them as needed. Sometimes I didn't need a full rest day and would walk a short day, like 10k if possible.
Listen to your body. It's ok to "lean into your edge". Your "edge"...
Hi,
My husband Rupert and I walked the Camino Frances in June/July 2016. We meet a wonderful family from New Zealand. Sharalynn and Steve(?) . You would remember them, because they were traveling with 6 of their children that ranged in age from teens to young adults. Would love to be in touch...
With all the flooding, I am wondering if the trains are running in Paris from the train station in CDG airport?
I am traveling on a SNCF train from CDG airport to Bordeaux to Bayonne to SJPDP.
Anyone traveled through Paris in the last couple of days?
