Expect many closed streets throughout the city and along the CF within the city center. The finish of the race is in front of the cathedral in Santiago on September 6. Again, expect...

    Correct Distance

    I finished my first Camino Frances at the end of May. I,too, found the markers in Galicia odd with the distances down to the meter. Then it dawned on me that my stride was approximately one meter long. So I had a convenient way to keep track of step walked since I left my Fitbit at home to save...

    Anyone doing the Camino in April 2016

    Kez I'm on Camino now. Left April 18, in Astorga now, finish about May 25. I booked Curazon Puro via their website. It worked out great. Istvar and his wife were great hosts, and transportation from Pamplona and to St. Jean went like clockwork. And you can't beat the price. 45 euros. Good luck...

    Starting my walk april 2016

    BillyB I live in Central Florida but spent the holidays in Ohio. My training walks had a few days in the 60's, but also many days in the teens and 20's. I've found walking with temps in the 20's is comfortable with layers. For the base layer, I use biking leggings and arm warmers( REI brand), a...

    Mass on Camino Frances

    I'll be walking the CF in April/May. For me this is not just a 500 mile trek across Northern Spain, but it's also a religious pilgrimage. As a Catholic, I'd like to attend Mass frequently, if not daily. Can anyone advise on how convenient it is to attend Mass in the cities, towns and villages...

    Sandals instead of boots

    Jo Jo I found your experience with the Arroyo II's interesting. I'm doing CF in April/May and plan to take mid height boots for wet/cold stretches and Keen Arroyo II hiking sandles for dry/warm conditions and non-walking time. Due to severe pronation, I also need to use orthodics. Do you think...

    Starting my walk april 2016

    sabbott I, too, am starting on April 18th. Leaving Florida on the 15th, overnighting outside Pamplona on the 16th, arriving St. Jean on the 17th. Perhaps we can trade notes on packing for the April/May weather. Maybe we'll cross paths on the Camino. Jeff Zimmerman

    solo journey, or how to tell spouse you need to do this alone?

    I'm a 68 year old male and married 46 years. I'll be doing a solo Camino next April. It was my wife who said I should do it alone ( she knows me after 46 years). She didn't want to slow me down and have me worrying about her comfort. She does plan to fly over and walk the last few km's into...
