    Making friends when starting the Camino later

    I think we covered it but I was concerned about the camino family question in advance too. I met people I was still with in Santiago stage 4 or 6? A few later much later than that! You'll have no problem meeting nice people. SJPP to Burgos would make for a great return. Walking journeys are a...

    Is 42 days for SJPDP to Finisterre too long?

    You'll be fine! There's some uncertainty but you'll find the rhythm of it. I did 36 to Santiago (33 stages + 2 rest days and a little day). The Brierley says 3 stages to Finisterre which could easily be 4. Plus a rest day in Santiago. That'd be 41 right there. I didn't meet anyone in a rush to...

    When do most pilgrims feel like quitting the Camino de Santiago?

    Was also thinking about what Kiwi-family posted. Many people on here have done more than one walk so we might be missing why people decide it's not for them. It was my understanding a fair number of people do stop and abandon the Francés. Is that true? Perhaps as many as a 1/3 from SJPP? I...

    The Two "Chickentown" Paradores

    The Parador de Santiago de Compostela is great. I can't speak to the two in Santo Domingo but I met a friend briefly in the lobby of the Parador de Santo Domino de la Calzada (the more central one?) and it seemed very lush. Consider looking into a visit of the Parador in Santiago? They have a...

    St. Jean to Burgos

    I've done (only) a couple caminos but SJPP to Burgos is great for the social aspect. There's a good crowd from SJPP but a lot less than you saw in the stages close to Santiago. I love the story of the first week from the Pyrenees to Pamplona to the wine country of Rioja. & I loved Burgos...

    Sarria to Santiago an honest account from a first time pilgrim

    It's all the camino so it's all good. That's fabulous to have enjoyed from Sarria. If a friend had a week, I would probably recommend SJPP to Logroño instead for the views and variety of scenery and more peace! I loved meeting the people who do pieces of it then come back. But we all have...

    Scam outside of Sarria

    Not online much while I’m doing the thing.. but did want to say I saw them this very day past Barbadelo, about 5k on from Sarria.

    One of the best video blogs I have seen!

    Thanks for mentioning this video. The drone footage is great. I'm not walking till next May so I'm sticking to the first video. I've told myself I can look at stage 1 stuff and leave the rest as more of a surprise!
