    Mass at Pamplona Cathedral

    I don't recall it being a very long walk, fwiw. I wish I could help you out more. Buen Camino

    Tour Groups

    I'm going to get close to begging...but please don't use a tour operator. I always say "hike your own hike" but you can't fathom how great it is to go with not agenda and no plan...you might want to wake up earlier (happened to me) and go longer (happened to me as well) on different days. I...

    Dull, boring, urban and sketchy (sketchy?)

    ditto on Saria to Santiago...But I loved the Astorga to Sarria section...loved it.

    Dull, boring, urban and sketchy (sketchy?)

    great post. Camino time is good time. I've heard people complain about the first day...it was my favorite day. The hike from Najera to Logrono...I get it, but if you skip it, you miss the great lady right before Logrono who has a great dog. San Juan de Ortego to Burgos...that hike into...

    A Pre Camino Angel Story

    Your preferred sello (stamp)

    great question...I'd say my favorite was Albergue de Boni which is in Salceda.

    Does my plan for mailing some supplies ahead to myself make sense?

    No, it does not make sense Take a broken in pair of shoes (not broken down)...they'll last the 25-30 days you'll hike. Trust your Camino and "hike your own hike", but this feels an awful lot like you're overthinking this. If your shoes are in good shape, they'll be okay (and the broken down...

    Route suggestions once you've done all the obvious caminos?

    ever thought of doing the Via Alpina. It's not the Camino, but does seem to be an incredible hiking journey. (not trying to take you out of "pilgrim" mode. It is worth checking out

    How many days walking from Porto to Santiago?

    I'm likely heading over this summer or next summer to do so...I would imagine it's a 8-9 day hike. Try godesalco.com to see a calculator https://godesalco.com/plan/portugues that might prove helpful. And try Google flights. There are some flights from the US into Porto. I had a chance to...

    Samos to Sarria how long will it take to walk average.

    I think it's about 4 to 4 1/2 hours or so

    Which Camino would you do next?

    Were you happy with the timing on the Portugues route in May? I'm considering going over to do a Camino and am considering it late June early July (from Porto...doesn't seem like it'd be long)

    Walking a Camino is a Very Selfish Act - Isn't it?

    I don't know if I'd call it a selfish act, but certainly an act you do for yourself. I hiked the first three days with my daughter ending in Pamplona (2016). Like you, I'm in business and I won a deal that I really shouldn't have won...it was a big one. I ran such a perfect process...
