    Booking hostels ahead or Not?

    I suppose that's your philosophy.
  2. RoamingTheWorld

    From California to Camino! Starting June 1st, 2015 :)

    Perhaps my list will be helpful. http://www.roamfarandwide.com/camino-de-santiago-travel-tips/ I wrote about my journey everyday here: http://www.roamfarandwide.com/camino-de-santiago-posts-day-by-day-index/ And I'm not proud of it but I didn't train, didn't organize and still everything turned...

    Do I need to learn Spanish?

    No, you don't need to learn it but any effort is appreciated by locals.

    Booking hostels ahead or Not?

    I see booking accommodations as counter to the "the Camino provides" philosophy but I know I am in the minority. And I did have some hellishly long days (http://www.roamfarandwide.com/camino-de-santiago-day-38-villafranca-del-bierzo-to-alto-do-poio/) because of my personal stance. It all...

    How much cash to carry?

    I also carried about 200 euros and had no problem finding ATMs in the bigger cities. Make sure you let your bank know you will be in Spain so you don't have a problem at ATMs.

    Fear

    Perhaps the whole point of your Camino would be to face these fears. It's fine to be afraid, but you must also be afraid of a life un-lived, so go forward! Observe yourself from a distance, see that you are afraid, and continue on in spite of it. You will soon gain a bit of confidence and...

    30 days or longer?

    You can certainly do it. Many do. I was so happy, however, to have more time so I could explore Spain a bit and didn't HAVE to walk when my blisters were so bad. If you have the luxury of a little more time, I would certainly encourage you to take it. Pressure is not something you want to...
