    Camino Frances? Via de La Palta?

    Hello! I walked the Via de la Plata from Sevilla to Santiago in the spring of 2015 and am looking to go back for seconds - this time I'm considering walking the Camino Frances, but am concerned about the crowding.

    Hello, I will be walking the Via Agusta December 15-24, does anyone have any experience walking at this time of year? If so, what tips do you have for packing? Are things open? Should I reserve hostels ahead of time, especially given that I'll be walking so close to Christmas? Any input is...

    Walking in Chacos?

    Hello all, I have recently changed my route from the Camino del Norte, to the Via de la Plata route from Sevilla. I am considering doing the entire walk in Chaco sandels--which I regularly hike in at home in the summer time. This might be stupid, as I'm walking 1,000 kilometers. My other option...

    Feminine Hygiene on the Camino

    Hello all, I am in the midst of creating my final packing list (I'm leaving on March 19th for my Camino along the northern route!) and I am wondering what women have done in the past when they are on their period on the Camino.

    Camino del Norte--starting on Easter?

    Hello! I am wondering if anybody knows if public transport will be running at full capacity during Semana Santa? I want to travel to Seville, then to Irun to start my camino on Easter (April 5) but feel this may be a bad idea because it's an important holiday in a Catholic country. If it is...

    Camino del Norte in April/May 2015

    Hi, I too am considering walking the Camino del Norte solo next year. It seems that the distances are doable, but I am worried about the weather as I'm going in April/May. I have heard that Alberges are open from Easter onwards, so I do not plan to carry a shelter of any type. I can tell that...
