    Which part to choose between Lisbon and Porto

    Dear all, I have done Camino Frances, Norte and Primitivo and would like to ask about Portuges. I have some soul-searching to do and would love to walk a part of it, unfortunately only a part because of work commitments. I will have about 8-9 days in May and would prefer to walk between Lisbon...

    LIVE from the Camino Struggling with fitness and mood

    Dear all, I want to thank you again for all the responses and encouragement! It helped a lot and I was reflecting all the answers and advice which made my Camino so much more enjoyable. I also met some wonderful people and had couple of REALLY nice days towards the end of Camino. It was so hard...

    LIVE from the Camino Struggling with fitness and mood

    Dear all, you are amazing group of people, thank you so much for all the responses and encouragement! It really just helps to know that I’m not alone 💛 At least by now I feel better physically, I did couple of shorter days and just gave myself time to rest and be whenever my body needed it. I...

    LIVE from the Camino Struggling with fitness and mood

    Thank you for the replies. Indeed, as Suzanne put it, I feel depleted and alone (which is really bizarre since I am walking with my partner who is happy, fit and enjoying it). Walked part of Norte and starting Primitivo now, hopeful but dreading the mountains.

    LIVE from the Camino Struggling with fitness and mood

    Dear all, I am currently doing my 3rd Camino (actually part of it, for 3 weeks), I planned it for months ahead, and was really looking forward to be on the Camino again. Yet I am struggling sooo much more than other times. After a week of walking I still feel exhausted every day, almost to the...

    A warm greeting

    Greetings from another Estonian ;) I’m equally obsessed with planning my next Camino in May 2022, can’t wait! Whenever I feel that life has more gray shades than colors, I’m remembering how much happiness each of my Camino has bought me :)

    Albergues with private rooms on the Norte

    Albergue-Casa Rural Intxauspe in Markina (http://www.intxauspe.com/pub/en/portada/) had a really nice private room (and also an albergue part), had my best sleep there and met other pilgrims. Buen Camino!

    Which way to walk next to the sea

    Thank you Peregrina2000! Meeting only one or two pilgrims sounds a bit concerning, I would not want to walk all the way alone (even for safety reasons). On some stretches of the Camino, when I didn't feel 100% safe, I always used to wait until I saw another pilgrim from far away and then kept on...

    Which way to walk next to the sea

    Thank you for all the responses! After reading the replies and doing some more research I think I'll go for the coastal route from Porto. I have walked from Santiago to Finisterre and then to Muxia, all this part is beautiful! Cami de Cavalls sounds really nice, but since I walk alone I am...

    Which way to walk next to the sea

    Hello Peregrinas & Peregrinos, I have walked Camino Frances and would like to walk a part of a different route next to the sea. I really miss the sea and I know I can go to some beach holidays, but I also REALLY miss the Camino and I am wondering if I can combine Camino with seaside and with...

    Same credencial, different years

    Hi everyone! I started my Camino last year from SJPP and walked until Burgos. This year I will walk from Burgos until Santiago. Can I use the same credencial I used last year (less than half of it is full)? Does anyone know what will be counted as my starting point once I get my "Compostela"...

    Arch pain while trying on shoes

    Hi everyone! The staff in hiking store didn't know what to advice me about my feet, so I thought I'd ask here. I am still selecting hiking shoes for my camino starting in a month and I have a question about how the hiking shoes should feel for arches. I tried on several shoes in the store and...

    No time to prepare for the camino

    I have finally decided to start from SJPdP and stay in Orisson or take the Valcarlos route, depending on the weather. I will start at the end of May, I am not sure yet about the exact date but by the next week I will have figured it out:) I will still have to work most of May but will try and...

    No time to prepare for the camino

    Thanks again for all the encouraging and useful responses! I know about the other caminos, but I thought that Frances is a good option because I am doing it for the first time (without much preparation as you know), and as I have understood this is the most "well equipped" in terms of getting...

    No time to prepare for the camino

    But if I walk slowly and break it up to 2 days? Roncesvalles is another option :)

    No time to prepare for the camino

    Wow, thank you everyone for the extensive feedback, you people are so nice!!! I definitely became excited about it again and got some good advice, I will try to include some little activities into every day and let the Camino itself be the training time if needed! I think mentally I have been...

    No time to prepare for the camino

    Hi everyone! Walking Camino de Santiago has been one of my dreams, it sounds amazing and the right thing for me in so many ways. Now I will finally have a longer break from work and the first thing I thought was "finally I can do the camino!". Then I started to read this forum and got a bit...
