    LIVE from the Camino Californians on the Camino!

    Just arrived in Colunga after a beautiful walk along the ocean cliffs most of the day. Fantastic weather the entire time with constant ocean breezes.

    Camino legs

    With not training in advance and going on a "whim", I would add to all of the above great recommendations to remember to stretch and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate everyday to assist you in alleviating tightness and soreness. Buen Camino !

    Valcarlos/Napoleon and start date

    Valcarlos. -I would tend to error on the side of caution due to the volatile weather on the Napoleon that early in the season. The Napoleon will always be there. Tackle it on another trip, later in the season. Been Camino!

    One Day or Two? Walking the Camino from St Jean to Roncesvalles at 72

    Age is not a factor if you cycled the route you mentioned! That's really impressive. I prefer 1 day, but it really is beautiful and worth making it in 2. Buen Camino
