    10 Quick Questions from a Camino novice

    OH YEAH! Plan to continue on to Finisterre. I am so depressed that I did not go. I had time, but not to do everything, I chose to hug the apostle and attend mass instead. Wish I would have done it all. Also if your iPod is a touch there is a Camino App by Eroski Consumer, it has maps...

    10 Quick Questions from a Camino novice

    3. Do people bring walking sticks with them? Or do you pick up one along the way! :D You can do whichever. I did not carry a stick but only did from Sarria to SDC. Two of my friends used sticks and two of us didn't 4. Looking into trousers- was thinking light combats, have the added benifit...

    August

    First I want to say there should be a folder for months walking so people can connect, and if there is I would love to be pointed in the right direction :-) Is anyone thinking they will be between Leon and Santiago in August. I am looking to start walking from Leon on August 11 or 12 and have...

    full albergues

    Thank you everyone for the wonderful advice! I agree the Camino Will Provide! I have a new question for veterans, I have found several towns with campsites, any idea what the rate to sleep outside is? I am definitely taking my sleeping bag (It is only 1 lb) Thanks!

    full albergues

    I will be walking from Leon to Santiago in August and my family in Spain is worried that the albergues will be full and I will have nowhere to sleep... I am not afraid to sleep on the ground if I have to, but is this really a problem? I know it is Holy Year... what do you think? Will anyone...

    First Camino - what type of hiking boot needed?

    I definitely think that people over estimate shoes and forget about socks. Your socks are just as important as your shoes. You want to change your socks in the middle of your walk. As far as buying make sure they also have good support and are cool max/wicking. I am considering taking a pair...

    Hola Chicos

    So, maybe I should have started with saying my father is from Spain. A small town just North of Leon. Also, he did not tell me outright no, which was good. I have lots of respect for my parents and I think it is because I know to overshoot when I ask for things and that we always come to a...

    Is 16 Too Young?

    I am hoping that your last post means that your parents are coming around. I am a 27 year old female and my parents are worried about me walking alone as well. I have tried to explain to them that no one is ever truly alone on the Camino, and they know this. Have a great time! Buen Camino

    Hola Chicos

    Muchas Gracias... I am in a debate with my parents about how far they are going to allow me to walk. I am worried that if I cave and agree to only walking the last 100km the first time I will be disappointed if it felt too easy. Then I will not know where to go. Or should I start at the...

    August

    Thanks for the advice/information. I guess my new question is will anyone from the forum be walking in August. My parents are worried about me walking alone. I guess if I could say, "well some person I never met but found on a Camino forum is walking", then they could feel a little better...

    August

    Is it too hot in August to walk the Camino Frances? Is it crazy to attempt the entire Camino Frances for your first walk? I am considering attempting the entire Camino Frances in August of this year. Any advice would be much appreciated

    Hola Chicos

    I am hoping to walk for my first time this year. I would like to walk the Camino Frances in its entirety however my father thinks I am crazy :D Any advice on whether I should go for the whole thing or start with a piece would be greatly appreciated. Also it looks like I will be walking in...
