Good question!
For my first Camino I wanted to get the Compostela-- that was important to me when I was planning it, and it turned out that collecting sellos along the way was one of the highlights of the journey. It made it a totally different experience than any other and got me to go in...
I just returned from walking the Camino Ingles and wanted to circle back to this forum to post some thoughts on it, in hopes it might provide useful to others.
Unlike many on this forum, I hadn’t ever really thought seriously about doing the Camino, although I had heard about it. But when my...
I'm glad to hear this was a useful thread for someone besides me. I was so grateful for all the thoughtful responses I received.
I really struggled with this decision and changed my mind more than once before selecting the Camino Ingles. I still wonder if perhaps the Camino Frances...

We're sneaking in 6 days on the Camino Ingles after a work trip to Madrid. We'll have business attire that we want to store for a week while we're on the Camino. Does anyone know who might securely store our luggage for a week? We don't want to lug around more suitcases than necessary...
I'd love to hike on the Camino for a few days. But we don't have much time- my husband is working in Madrid through the afternoon on Thurs/June 4 . We could catch a train/ plane that evening. We have to be home in the US by June 12. That leaves barely one week to get to/from the trailhead and...
