    When do most pilgrims feel like quitting the Camino de Santiago?

    My first Camino was the CF and I was not prepared as I should have been. Day one, I had to take Via Val Carlos because Napoleon Route closed because of snow. Rainy day and part way through, I ran out of water. First fountain I got to had sign to not drink the water. A woman had to be taken away...

    Is my daily average goal too ambitious?

    You seem to be in good shape so my answer to you would be yes. I did the French Camino in 2017 and completed it in 26 days. I stayed in Santiago for a day and then did the Santiago-Muxia-Finesterre trek. I took my time on this stretch and did it in 4 days. I think you should make out just...

    Starting my camino frances on 28th of may!

    Good day Huub: Hope all the travel restrictions are lifted for you to do this wonderful walk. I can tell you its an experience you will never forget. You will love it and get to meet some great people as an added bonus. I still keep in touch with people I met four years ago on this walk...

    Having a hard time

    I don't think there are many people that walk the Camino and quickly forget about it. I walked it last year and honestly, have never got over it. I continued walking from Santiago to Muxia and to Finnisterra. On my final few kilometers to the lighthouse in Finisterra (end of the line), I...

    How tough is SJPdP to Roncesvalles... Need Advice

    I think you're freaking because you're getting close to the start date. It's a tough day but their are tougher and everyone of them worth while. I am a couple of years older than you, roughly the same weight pack when I walked it last year and I did fine - it was hard but not scary. Keep your...

    Wait or start walking on 28th March 2018

    I started my walk March 30, 3017. Napoleon route was closed and apparently opened three days after I left. You will bind the second half of the via Valcarlos route every bit as challenging. Just make sure you have water. I would suggest you don’t skip this first leg of the Camino just because...

    Camino Frances in March/April 2018

    Hi Kevin. I walked the Camino the same time you are planning yours. Weather does vary as posted by other members. One suggestion for you. I also had to take theVia Valcarlos route because of the snow. I silently breathed a sigh of relief thinking I’d have an easy first day. WRONG!! Starts of...

    My Camino

    Hello Susan. My condolences on the passing of your husband. I walked the Camiño Francais in 2017 starting about a week later than your intended start. Weather was irrational first few days with rain for 2 days, snow one night, blistering hot and then back to cooler weather. Personally, being...

    Camino Frances Daily Mileage

    GoBosco: I completed the Camino Frances end of April, 2017 and did SJPDP to Santiago in 26 days - about 30km per day. Had the advantage of great weather - not too hot, and only 3 or 4 days of rain. There are some great places to stop and spend the day if you are so inclined which would, of...
