    My experience walking with my 10 year old son

    Hi Rachel, that's lovely to hear thank you. We went back last year and walked the Camino del Salvador and Camino Primitivo at the end of September. It was another unforgettable experience. It was different in the sense that it was quieter and more remote, days were longer and the terrain more...

    Hi, i'm so glad to hear you and your family enjoyed my post. It's been lovely to share our experience and to receive such positive and encouraging responses, i certainly did not expect that.

    My experience walking with my 10 year old son

    Wow, amazing the journey(s) you are planning. Very lucky children indeed! I'm living in rural Ireland and on my own with my son. In other circumstances home schooling would be our preference too but i'm grateful that at least the school is supportive and let's us go on our shorter adventures...

    My experience walking with my 10 year old son

    Thanks Claudia i really appreciate your kind and thoughtful response, it really warms my heart while feeling a little 'lost' at home right now, struggling to be present and to pick up where we left before the Camino. Maybe the weather has something to do with it because it is particularly...

    My experience walking with my 10 year old son

    Yes thanks! This route sounds amazing and quite a bit tougher than the other ones, is that so? We're (already!) hatching a plan for perhaps Easter 2018 which be late March/early spring.. wonder is the route vastly different and potentially more treacherous than most? My son would love it but it...

    My experience walking with my 10 year old son

    Thank you David that's very kind! Yes we would love to start from St Jean and complete the Camino Frances one day. But for the foreseeable future we are restricted for time so i'm not sure when we could do it, unless we go during July or August but as a gardener that's bad timing for me and i...

    My experience walking with my 10 year old son

    Hi thanks for sharing your stories and i love your blog.. had actually looked at it a few times before! Really inspiring hearing about your experience with your children and seeing how far they walked and how much fun they had. You're very lucky to have had that amount of time with them! I'm...

    My experience walking with my 10 year old son

    Thanks so much for all your lovely responses, it certainly lifted my spirits on this dreary day back at home. We are taking your tips on board and are already looking at the map which route to take on our next Camino. It's strange what the Camino does to you, we already miss it and nothing feels...

    My experience walking with my 10 year old son

    Hi everyone, We just came back from our Camino last week and are still getting used to our new /old routine.. We walked from Astorga to Santiago and then on to Finisterre from where we took the bus back to Santiago. Altogether it took us 15 days. Apart from the initial hick-up at Madrid airport...

    Looking for recommendation for a place to stay in Santiago with child

    HI, Rachael, i see you walked from Astorga one time, with your children i presume? We will be doing the same.. leaving on Thursday! How long did it take you to walk to Santiago, and onto Finisterre? Any suggestions you may have regarding walking with children on this particular part of the...

    Looking for recommendation for a place to stay in Santiago with child

    Thanks for all the info. My son is 10..I plan to stay in albergues but would look out for quiet, smaller places if possible and if i get the impression people stay up late and party for example i would try and stay some place else. A private room if needs be..

    Looking for recommendation for a place to stay in Santiago with child

    That's reassuring thank you. Would the average price for a dorm be the same as in other towns or can i expect to pay a lot more, even for a dorm?

    Looking for recommendation for a place to stay in Santiago with child

    Thanks Laurie, i really appreciate it. I think we would have enough time to walk on to Finisterre but i'm still undecided whether to stay a few days in Santiago first and then to Finisterre from where we would take the bus to the airport as our flight would be in the afternoon on the 17th pf...

    Looking for recommendation for a place to stay in Santiago with child

    Thanks very much. I just checked for one night 11 days after we start and it's already booked out. I see its about €75 a night, and same for other hostels also. Is that average as to what to expect? If you book last minute will prices have gone up a lot?

    Looking for recommendation for a place to stay in Santiago with child

    Hi, We're leaving next Thursday to start our Camino from Astorga. I haven't booked anything for along the way, apart from our first night in Leon. Is it necessary or advisable to book ahead in Santiago de Compostela? I estimated it may take 10 or 11 days to get to Santiago but i have no idea...
