Hey All.
We are planning to walk the ingles in June 2024. We prefer to not carry our backpacks but will hope to forward on a nightly basis. Might anyone suggest which company can help with the transport ?
Hey Laurie

Great as we plan to stop in Bilbao this year and then start from there in 2020. Very much appreciate your advice and taking the time to reply. We are a tad nervous as first week on El Norte does look challenging so was keen to make sure after a demanding days hike that there would not be...

How wonderful then that you are heading to the best place to combat this. My camino ingles was my challenge but one that brought such clarity and such a sense of accomplishment. Add to that the time out simply to enjoy the moment,to not to have to think beyond placing one foot in...
Heyt Tulle Good on you. I just completed the Ingles last week. I walked solo and so totally understand the pre trip nerves But having walked over 6 days I loved every minute of the journey from Ferrol to Santiago. Buen camino and if can be of help just let me know. I did write...
A huge thank you to the forum members for all your help and advice on my recent Camino Ingles. It was a wonderful meaningful 6 days which went far too quickly. My initial fears were greatly assuaged by the support and sensible approach of the members here and I cannot thank you enough for the...
