Wow, such beautiful words!! In a few moments reading this you took me back to my time on the Camino including the tears that I had when I walked into the plaza.
Hello,
Your feelings are so familiar to me as I have anxiety leading up to each of the 4 Caminos that I’ve done. Anxiety comeS from the future as it is the unknown and you may well know this. The Camino taught me to better stay in the present and that is how I deal with leaving for a Camino...

I am also leaving mid September to walk the Portugues from Lisbon. I walked the Primitivo last year and used the guide book show as it have a accommodation and pricing which I found to be accurate. As far as food costs depending on where you are coming from the Euro has lost some value so for...
