    My Camino Experience (Ask me anything)

    Hello nicky. April to May is good for walking the camino del norte even though it might be a little bit more rainy and not all albergues might be open during this season. Very good resources for weather are: https://www.ventusky.com/ https://www.windy.com/ And very good resources on the way...

    My Camino Experience (Ask me anything)

    My way on the Camino de la Costa --- Basque Country Hendaye - Ulia: 24 km I stayed in a nice community which is called "Twelve tribes" or "Doce Tribus". It was just before the youth hostel on the hill before San Sebastian. Ulia - Zarautz: 25,7 km I stayed at the municipal albergue in Zarautz...

    Of course, but I'm not sure whether they are open in April already.

    My Camino Experience (Ask me anything)

    I just checked on my Guidebook and yeah, you're right. There are some stages that require you to walk 25km to get to the next albergue. However I was only able to speak for the albergues before Villaviciosa since I left the Norte for the Primitivo there. I will list those over 20km below...

    My Camino Experience (Ask me anything)

    Hello there. I wanted to share a few thoughts and things with you guys. I started my Camino Mid-August (22nd) in Irun and arrived in Santiago on the 23rd of September. During those weeks I met so many amazing people, I've seen lots of beautiful places and it really was an experience someone...

    My packing list - Seeking for Advices

    If you mean blisters, no. I mostly wore them in the evening. I wore them on one day though when it was raining while walking and I didn't stop when it hurt and that's when I kind of rubbed my skin off at that point. It healed already by now though. Just 120km to go, I'm already really excited...

    My packing list - Seeking for Advices

    Everyone has a different body. What might be bad for some people might not be so bad for others. I'll see if I really have to lose stuff but so far I'm perfectly fine. Thank you though!

    My packing list - Seeking for Advices

    Update: I'm on the Camino now. My backpack weighs around 7.7kg + Water. (I included some more first aid stuff to help out other pilgrims or myself if needed) For me, 190m/78kg/18 years I think this is doable. Sadly I got to the camino with an inflammation on my heel. Rip. Walking in my main...

    My packing list - Seeking for Advices

    Should I really drop the fleece jacket in favor of a wind jacket? I already dropped the rain jacket in favor of a poncho. Is it going to wind so much that I should consider a windbreaker since the fleece jacket is currently my only warm layer?

    My packing list - Seeking for Advices

    All Inlets I've found are around 300-500g so I don't think those 200g justify buying a new "sleeping bag" and I prefer having something thick around me I can really close tight when sleeping in unknown beds. I will drop the rain pants and take a poncho with me. Also I'll not take the gel and the...

    My packing list - Seeking for Advices

    Thank you. I will follow your advices. An off topic question, I've heard and read that the first part of the Camino Norte is the toughest. Is there any way I should prepare for it and is it doable for someone who isn't used to walking 20km+ or should I rather take the train to Bilbao?

    My packing list - Seeking for Advices

    Thank you for all feedback! I'll propably ditch the rain jacket and the rain pants in favor of a poncho. Another thing I ask myself is whether one light long pant and one short is enough or whether I should get another long pant? What if it rains all day? And I'll leave the ereader at home...
