    CF - current budget

    Hi, I walked for 10 days from SJPP in Sept 2016. I think if you can budget 25 - 30 euros per day you will be comfortable. You may find that on 20 euros per day you will be worrying about your budget and not able to be relaxed on your Camino. I will be walking again in April. The way I do...

    March 2017

    Hi, I have just returned from 2 weeks on Camino Frances. I started in SJPP with the idea of walking as far as I could.

    Choosing a camino starting mid-September.

    We had mixed weather but it was still a wonderful experience. It would be my first choice if I had your dilemma. It is really beautiful and interesting. I was fairly fit when I started walking the northern coastal route and after about 2 weeks walking to the Primitivo, I felt strong.

    Choosing a camino starting mid-September.

    Hi If you are relatively fit, I would also recommend the Primitivo. I walked in Sept/Oct 2014 and it was a wonderful experience. I started in Irun on del Norte as I had plenty of time. Alternatively you could walk a section of the Northern Route. I found both routes wonderful. BTW I will be...
