    Where to spend a relaxing week post Camino

    Loving all these suggestions. Definitely some food for thought. Continuing the walk to Muxia would be fantastic but I feel that 5 days walking is enough for the kids and so the plan is to reward or should I say bribe them? 😂 with the notion of a villa and private pool for a week when we finish...

    Where to spend a relaxing week post Camino

    A Coruna and San Sebastian sound perfect. We've done Barcelona, London and Paris and we also did Lake Garda 2 years in a row. Not quite Rome I know. I guess we just love travelling to different places. I want the kids to experience as many different places as possible. There's not much available...

    Where to spend a relaxing week post Camino

    So I walked the last 100km from Sarria with a friend in 2018 and then walked from St Jean PDP to Pamplona with my sister in 2019. I had planned to go back and walk another section this year, but we all know too well why that didn't happen 🙄 My new plan, Covid permitting of course, is to return...

    On the countdown..

    I arrive in SJPDP on Thursday from Dublin with my sister. We dont have the luxury of time to complete a whole Camino so we will finish in Pamplona. I walked the last 100km last year from Sarria, I'm expecting a very different Camino this time. Can anyone tell me how frequently I will come...

    Good backpack for small woman

    I am 5ft exactly, size UK 8 in the waist, 10 on top and approx 55kg in weight. I carry a Montane Yarara 32litre ladies fitted backpack and it is perfect. Maybe not too far off what you are looking for 😊

    Hello. Walking the Camino in October 2019

    Hi there I know this is an old post, just wondering if you managed to get a booking in Orisson? My sister and I have booked a nights stay on the 11th of October. Getting worried now that they may cancel after reading comments saying it was closed at this time last year....

    Messed up my timings...

    I had thought of the extra night in Madrid, but I guess I'd rather have the extra night on the Camino. Leaning towards Orisson. I'm walking with my sister, who really has no idea about the Camino and decided to come with me at the last minute. A short day may be best to ease her I'm. But my...

    Messed up my timings...

    So I've booked flights to Biarritz on 10th of October to walk part way from SJPDP and flying home from Madrid on 15th October. My original idea was to walk SJPDP to Pamplona but in my stupidity I've realised I actually have 4 days walking rather than 3 and will be in Pamplona by the 13th rather...

    Got the bug...

    I Probably should have mentioned flights on either side so basically 3 day walk I'd imagine 🤔

    Got the bug...

    Having walked the last 100k from Sarria last Sept I've been dying to get back to the Camino. Family/work wise I'm on time constraints. Although I would love to, I'm unable to walk the whole route at one time but i feel it's time to go back. I'm thinking of walking St Jean - Pamplona in October...

    Planning first Camino

    Do you have a route in mind that you want to walk? Having only walked the Frances from Sarria once, I'm probably not qualified to answer your questions. But as a mum of kids of similar age and having done HUGE amounts of research, my advice would be if you want to take the family the Frances is...

    Sarria to Santiago an honest account from a first time pilgrim

    I completed my first Camino on 10th Sept from Sarria to Santiago and I can say with all honesty it was one of the best experiences of my life. I was apprehensive before leaving and even thinking of changing routes after reading a lot of negative opinions on this last 100km of the Camino Frances...

    Planning first Camino

    I have just come back from my first Camino. I walked Sarria to Santiago with a friend. I have a 10 year old boy and 6 year old girl who stayed at home with my husband. There were more children on this route than I expected. Including a family walking with a baby and older sister. When I returned...

    Half considering a route change to the Ingles

    Thank you all for the great advice!! I'm still undecided on the route, my walking partner says Frances, I'm leaning towards Ingles. I guess we'll decide when we get to Santiago!! Maybe I need to stop overthinking the experience so much before I get there and just live it at the time :)

    Half considering a route change to the Ingles

    Due to fly out to Santiago on 4th of September. I was all set on starting in Sarria but I've been put off by various comments on the forum and watching MANY YouTube videos. I'm not sure if I will get the experience of the Camino on this route?? And I know a lot of veterans consider the Sarria...
