    January/February Camino?

    I love winter caminos! I have done st Jean to the sea three times in the winter and am starting my fourth on Jan 11. Never had a problem with an albergue or a place to eat. I live in Florida USA and found the temp on the winter camino to be very comfortable. See you in Jan!

    Alternatives for evening footwear, including autumn/winter

    I have three winter camino Frances under my belt with number 4 coming up in January. Crocs are the way to go. Light, warmer then sandals and you can walk in them if you need a break from your boots. I walked with a pilgrim in early March who wore them the entire way instead of boots

    Euros - how many to take for the Camino Frances?

    On all three Caminos I took 2000 euro in all 20 euro notes. Divided them into 4 bundles of 500 euro each and heat sealed them into empty candy bar wrappers. I kept each bundle in a different location. No problems.
