    Starting 80k before SJPdP…..

    We have walked the CF twice - and during October we would like to start about 80k before the Pyrenees - kind of ‘taking a run at them’ if you will? Then we would walk out averages 10-12 miles a day until we run out of time. We are struggling to find a straight forward travel route from UK to...

    Walking and campervan?

    We completed our 2nd CF in July - walking for around 60 days. We are addicted and planning the C. Portugese for next spring. We are also considering taking a campervan to Europe and walking some favourite or new Camino routes in sections over 3 months. But the logistics of this is quite...

    What did you wish you had known before your Camino?

    I am right at the end of my second CF - flying home tomorrow. I was amused that this time I never left behind a decent serviette/napkin in a cafe - decent size tissues are hard to find right? 🤔😃. It led me to wonder what others have learned from experience on their Camino ……and perhaps wish...

    Luggage transfer options to Finisterre & Muxia?

    We arrive in Santiago in 4 days and now planning to get to the Atlantic Coast - Finisterre then Muxia. What would the hive mind members recommend for baggage transfer?

    Left or right…?

    So slightly ‘tongue in cheek’ but are we the only people who forget which way to turn when leaving an Albergue in the morning? What is your strategy for handling this micro-navigation? 🙃🤔

    Mosquitos on Frances in May… June?

    On my last Camino Frances in September 2018 & 19 I had no issues with being bitten except by the canal in Fromista where they ‘got me good!!’ This time Im starting in May, a wetter time of year - will there be more or less mosquitos then? 🤔😬🥾👣🙏🙏

    Buying Meindl boots along the Camino?

    Hi - I have a pair of Meindl boots that have life in them yet - they did half the Camino Frances from Fromista in 2019. I don’t need to replace them yet. But I’m wondering if I could get Meindl boots in a city s along the CF if I needed to when walking the whole thing this year? (I can wear...

    90 day tourist limit - Schengen countries

    Hi - given a 2 year hiccup in our Camino plans we were hoping to ‘fill our boots’ this year 😊 However it seems as Brexited Brits (🙄)we can stay for 90 days on a tourist visa in any 180 days - meaning our plans to fit in 2 Caminos this year may be scuppered. I was reading that travel ‘for...
