Hi Cliff!
and thanks for your note - appreciate the invite.
How long is your walk from Madrid to Santiago de Compostela? :)
I walked in November and loved it. Unfortunately I had to depart earlier than expected but do want to go back and walk the rest of the way. I was by myself which I...
Than you Tincatinker! Thats teh info I was looking for. Wont bring any but it also sounds like I can get great cured meats there.
Im walking in November-December and now starting to think of some of the little things.
Ho Robo, I love it on hikes here in the states and would probably miss having some in my pack. But never having been to Spain, I did not realize what other choices there are. :)
Can anyone tell me if there is beef jerky in Spain - Ive searched on line and haven't found an answer. If not, does anyone know if I can bring jerky into Spain (coming from America)?
Hi Jim, Ill be walking about the same time but from Burgos to Santiago de Compostela and hopefully on to Finisterre. If you have a smart phone with you, you can download an app such as Camino Pilgrim or Camino de Santiago in Play Store. It may not be the most up to date info but I have it just...
Hi Borja79 - since we both are going in November-December, we may run into each other along the way. I'm using a guide book but walking my own Camino and may not walk according to the pre-printed schedule that most guidebooks have. Buen Camino to you.
Thanks for the affirmation Kanga!
I don't feel it necessary to keep with a pre-planned schedule so I plan to walk as far as I feel works for me and stop. If I surpass a printed schedule, great - if I come short of a printed schedule, that's great too. Ill get there when I get there. :)
Im...
Hi Daniel - I'm doing my first Camino in November and have been studying up and feel pretty ready at this point (as ready as Im going to be) :)
Look below at The Most Liked Resources - there are several downloads to get you started. The one that really helped me at the start is the profile map...
Thanks Jozero! I do have Brierley's guide book - wasn't sure how up to date since things change fast sometimes. Good to know you didn't have any issues other than 1x.
Would anyone happen to know if there a list anywhere that comprise of just Albergues open during the winter months? SO many I look at close by November 1.
Perhaps there isnt,, but I thought I would check before I walk starting mid November.
Hi! As I continue to check and re-check my packing list and I think of you and all your great advise - ok, how about meet me and we walk just a short camino from Burgo to Leon together? Its ok if you cant but I thought I would give it one more try. I am just so please with all your worldly...
Great advise - Thank you Adrian!! I will get into Burgos pretty early and have given thought to what will I do with my pack when I get there. Im anxious spend time looking around and would love to do it "pack free". :)
