I was sick in mid March for a few days with Coronavirus like symptoms, though nothing severe. I also completely lost my sense of taste and smell for 10 days during those days. I was never tested because this was during the early part of the crisis here in Spain, and only those needing to go to...
Hi Annie!
I walked from Bilbao to Santander in mid April last year. It was some of the best views of the ocean I have ever seen. I wish I could have gone on longer but I only had a bit of time off from school. I am resident here in Northern Spain, so I would say that you should definitely be...
Hello all! I have e few questions that have been ruminating in my head for a while now in regard to my plans to walk from St. Jean to Santiago in July-August of this summer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
1.) The first thing that I've been confused about is what it is like for you...
Thank you all so much for your help! Clearly the pack I have will be plenty big enough. It's just a matter now of whether it fits me well, which hopefully it will so I can save a small fortune on buying a new one. I just became concerned that perhaps it wasn't big enough when I saw on the LL...
Hello all! What is the current thinking on how large a pack is needed for the Camino from St. Jean to Santiago. My sister has an AT 40 L.L. Bean Day Pack that she has offered me to borrow. The dimensions being 26½"H x 13"W x 6"D. This is the link to the bag description on LL Beans website...
I can most definitely relate to this post right now. I am planning to walk in July/August of this summer. Lately I've been thinking a lot more about it, and have certainly been getting the jitters.
I think with all the extensive research and dreaming of my Camino, I've become desensitized to...
Thank you all so much for your strong encouragement! As of now I am planning to go ahead with my original plan to walk in July. You all have given me lots of reassurance. Ever since I decided to walk, many months ago, it has been an ebb and flow of emotions about my plans to do the camino. At...
Thanks so much for your advice! I will be studying at Universidad de Navarra in Pamplona. Luckily, I will have my two sisters who currently attend there to have to lean on.
So lately I have been having second thoughts as to whether I truly want/should to walk the Camino this coming July. I know ultimately this is a question that I need to answer myself, but I would appreciate any words of advice that some might have (also it helps to vent). There is absolutely no...
Hello all! Last I posted on the forum, back in September, I was contemplating walking in July/August 2017, concerned about being so young (18 y/o). Since then, all those concerns have been allayed with encouragement from the forum. Furthermore, having told my parents my plan, they have been...
Wow! I guess the answer is obvious! Summer 2017 I'll be walking the Camino de Santiago! Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement. I'm so happy that I found this forum community..
I have felt a calling to the Camino for a while now and that call has only been getting stronger and...
Hello all! It has been a dream of mine for many years to walk the Camino! Come September 2017 I will be begining college in Spain for the next five years.. I strongly want to walk the Camino next summer before I begin university in Spain but I will be only 18years old by then. Should I perhaps...
