    Special intentions

    Hi Scubageek, i walked Sept-Oct 2018. I brought a silk liner and light 1.5 lb down sleeping bag. I was glad to have both!

    Help Albergue Santa Cruz in Sahagun

    Come on peregrinos/as! I’ve never stayed there but it seems this is the spirit of the Camino that drew us all to walk! As my mom taught me... every good deed gets you pennies in heaven...Blessings in you all!

    Heat, feet and water

    It’s a beautiful time of year to go. I walked last year around this time only 1 rainy day after I got to Santiago! People and food complemented the nearly perfect weather! Buen Camino

    Did anyone regret walking the Camino?

    I have walked 1 camino Frances last Fall. I had planned for a couple years to walk for my friend who died of cancer (and who would have been right by my side)... and I walked for my mother who passed also of cancer. In the end, I truly walked for me. I had cared for four people all died from...

    Injury 24 hours before flight!

    So sorry Spagirl! This is one of those situations o my you can decide... I’m sure if you went you’d enjoy the trip regardless but would it be what you wanted for a first Camino. Think about the options make a decision and know you’re doing the best you can! Good luck

    Camino Frances - General

    Use Rome2Rio you can put in Paris and your destination. There does not seem to be a late train. My suggestion is you sleep over take a train in the am.
