I don't suppose there will be maps of these one can get ahead of time?
There will be hopefully feedback on this forum from people who complete in March / April, before I go I suppose. Really looking forward to it, despite any possible hardships anyways, that's part of the fun, isn't it?
I'm a Canadian who's living in China, is it possible to pick up the credential in St. Jean, where I'm planning on starting my trip? I think it might be difficult to get my Canadian Chapter to send me one in China.
Does anyone know if the Spanish government is providing extra facilities for pilgrims knowing this will be a busy year?
Although it seems like no one who's done the Camino before is worried about accomodation..
My only concern is accommodation as well, I have the feeling I'm just going to "wing-it" - making sure I have a good Brierly guidebook and a working cell phone. I'm still debating whether or not to bring a tent.. we shall see.
Hmmm, ok.. I definitely want to be able to have somewhere to sleep. Are the alberges cool with people camping on their grounds? I think the private hostel thing could add up pretty fast.. I'm not sure what the usual prices are?
It seems like even when it's been crowded, there's a place on the floor or what have you that you can crash right? I don't really want to bring camping gear along the camino.
I too am a bit worried about crowds during the Pilgram year. It sounds like experienced people who've done the Camino (I've never done it) have seen the refugios fill up. Is this common?
I'm also planning on going in May.
If I bring a tent is it ok to camp anywhere, or something are there...
