    My first camino with (a) kid(s)--> need help!

    Read what I say about Covid in my post. I ask for advice about strollers than you can give advice on strollers. If my stance on Covid is not clear, just ask. Unsolicited advice doesn’t have the impact you want it to have. Even if your intentions are noble.

    My first camino with (a) kid(s)--> need help!

    You didn’t ask me any questions pepi. Realize that’s why this is your ego talking, not mine. Maybe you are worried about the safety of my children, maybe you even think that i’m an egoistic dad. It’s all good. Just ask questions. I take your worries into consideration. Thanks!

    My first camino with (a) kid(s)--> need help!

    Thx so much. I will do some practicing with my oldest. If she can walk 5k without problems then this is a valid option!

    Thanks! I searched for a lot, but not on 'chariot'!

    My first camino with (a) kid(s)--> need help!

    This made me think. I could fly on Santiago with the whole family. Maybe bring my sister in law with us. Then take a bus with my oldest to Sarria and walk with her to Santiago, while the rest wait for us over there. So a trekking pushchair would be sturdy enough? Hahaha and the apologies are...

    My first camino with (a) kid(s)--> need help!

    Thx for your input David! That's just it David, I don't care too much for the memories. It's the experience you'll give them. Two examples: - Noya, my 'baby' of 2yo, says hi and waves to eveybody when she sits in her stroller. I like to think that that's partly due to me, because I say hi to...

    My first camino with (a) kid(s)--> need help!

    Hi all, I call myself a camino veteran. I hope to walk my 14th camino this October (fingers crossed with Covid). I know the Frances really well. Walked it alone, with friends, with my father and sister, with a colleague, but now the time has come for a camino with (a) kid(s). Just for a week...

    First Camino Route planning by town and km

    I use it for all my Camino’s. Really good planner. But beware. Last June I was using it on the Via de la Plata and the albergue on my list was closed for more than a year. This meant I had to walk another 15k without water in 47 degrees. So, if the stop is important for you, check availability...

    The differente between doing it by foot or by bike?

    Has anyone done both. I've been on the camino several times, always by foot. This year I wanted to do the same. I am going to walk with my father, my sister and a friend from Pamplona to Logrono ( last year we did st jean - Pamplona ). After this I wanted to walk from Logrono to Santiago in...

    The Race of The Pilgrims

    I have to agree with you. The posts here seem a little snobbish. I assume that noboby means it in that way. For me it doesn't matter if you do YOUR camino by foot, on a bike or horse, by bus or in a wheelchair. I met them all. It doesnt matter If you do it for a week, a month or even two...

    There is one last thing I'm worried about: albergues filling

    A few times I had to sleep on the floor in a gym. Only one time we slept under the stars. It was fun, not scary at all. Just don't worry... Grtz Marcel

    May 14 and counting!

    I've been on The Frances à few times and 5eu albergues are the exception. Keep in mind that it will be between 8 and 12 euro's. Most of them are 10. I was on the Via de la Plata in 2011 and was surprised by the 5 eu albergues. On the other side. I met a lot!!! Of pilgrims on a budget. I bet...
