Hello,
Last year I did a week of the Camino and ended up in Estella. This year I'd like to start from Estella and do another week of the camino!
Is anyone able to help me with the following:
1) Will hostels be open (beginning of November)
2) how do I get to Estella - is it best to fly from...
Thank you for all of your replies!
There's nothing that will stop me from going - even though I'm nervous about it, there's something telling me that it's 100% the right thing to do.
I am excited about the walk itself and what it will do/bring/give to me and I'm excited to get my confidence and...
Hi everyone,
I'm leaving for my first ever Camino (Frances) on the 26th September and whilst I'm really excited, I'm also really nervous.
I'm supposed to be doing the walk with a friend but it's not certain she can come. Faced with the fact I might be doing it alone and I'm a bit scared about...
Thank you! I'm certain I'll see you on the trail and we can practice basic Spanish with each other. So far, I've mastered 'Yo no como pescado' - so I'm basically fluent :P
Just as a general question - how did people go about taking money?
Did you carry all your euros for the trip for the entire walk/did you use card/did you take half out and then get more on the way?
I'm unsure what is a good amount to take and whether to carry it all in cash for the full 6...
Hi Curtis!
I know, I know... I'm just being overly paranoid and cautious because it's such a huge adventure!
I know once I'm on the trail it'll be much better, it's just the anticipation that's making me so nervous.
I am excited, very excited, just a bit scared!
Oh blimey, now I'm all worried that I won't find a bed!
I'm very new to this...what happens if there aren't any beds anywhere - do you just carry on walking until you find one?
Thank you for your reply! I've heard that September is quite a busy time for walkers, but as it's the end of Sept. I'll be walking, I was worried the flow of people might not be as high (which I guess is quite nice and means you're more likely to find a bed!). I'm glad you said about sleeping...
Hi Alain,
I'll be walking on the 26th September - you'll have to keep in touch and let me know your experiences of the parts you've done that I'll be about to do!
:)
Hello All,
I'm leaving the UK for the Camino on the 26th September and was just looking for some friendly advice to some questions I have. I'll be walking from St Jean Pied de Port (hopefully) all the way to Santiago.
- I'll be walking on my own and as a female traveler, was just wondering...
