    Crazy things people do in the last 100 km

    They are obviously not seeking a Compostela. It would be hard to get a stamp at 3AM.

    Cost - Frances vs. Portuguese?

    A real factor could well be what airport you fly to. Some airports are served by budget airlines others are not, plus the cost of internal transport to reach starting point of either Frances or Portuguese. Apologies if I am stating the obvious.

    Mansilla de la Mulas to León: why bother?

    Experience the lows to appreciate the highs in life? Obviously if you are restricted by time it makes sense to skip a stage. Anyway like an individual it is "your walk" and I wish you the best whatever you decide.

    “Disconnect on the Camino” project - walking without electronic devices

    Nice, Back to the Future, don't look down, look up and see the light!

    Sarria to Santiago the last week in July

    I would suggest choosing somewhere between Pamplona and Astroga on the Camino Frances. This should provide a balance of not being seriously overcrowded, but also not lonely to. Gronze is an ideal resource for learning stages and distances. She has 2 options regarding luggage, either the one you...

    Planning a 10-Day Walk on the French Way: Sights, Towns, and Food for Four Senior Ladies

    Just wondering if you have considered luggage transfer from A to B each day.

    Things I fear

    You listed numerous points relating to potential negative scenarios, but the last 3 or 4 points you wrote give the vibe "what if I like it too much". Even if you don't enjoy the experience at least you know and can move forward with life in a non pilgrim direction.

    Prophetic and beautiful prediction

    Thanks for posting this true and deep meaningful message. I can't claim to have any history of addiction but back in the day I was on the football terraces and rave scene a million miles from anything that resembled spirituality, time moves on thankfully.

    Is this a bad summer to go on the Camino

    Yes, as you say there could be more people walking because they have not been able to the last couple of years. Then again I am sure that there are a fair number waiting until 2023 because we are not exactly carefree yet. If you could find how many people walk in April and May this year and...

    Surplus accomodation planned for mass return of pilgrims?

    I believe that I am correct in thinking that a strong percentage on this Camino forum will have walked by the end of 2022. But, are we a minority in terms of the actual numbers who do walk, in other words a reasonable number of people will not be as eager, some will have been hit hard...

    Plans for 2021?

    I believe most of us have a hypothetical plan when to go. I will wait until June to see if I can book a flight in August having been vaccinated and feel carefree because I am welcomed at the other end?

    Plans for 2021?

    My brother and friends back in London are optimistic that they will be free travel to mainland Europe(non camino) by June. As a Canadian I am 50/50 at best for August. September my daughters post secondary education denies us the freedom to travel,alas.

    Camino this April

    Hoping to travel from Canada to Europe in August, consider my odds 50-50, I will only pay for a flight when I am vaccinated and borders are open as in carefree.

    'Addiction'- an appropriate word for wanting to walk the Camino again (& again)?

    I wonder if a, lets say "obsession", with the Camino has had real life changing status for some people, for example loss of relationship due to partner not wanting to walk? Career sacrifice down to taking too much time away from the workplace?

    Is anyone doing the Camino without any specific purpose

    For me the is Camino has a vibe of simply going back in time, pre intranet if you like? Sure we use apps and this forum etc, but the act itself self of simply just walking, talking and absorbing history, nature, culture really feels like switching off from this fast paced world and go back to...

    General enquiry about the final 100km of the Camino

    I can only give an opinion on the Ingles. We walked late August last year and it had a good balance of meeting others and not being over crowded. We plan to walk again at least 2 times from different directions God willing, probably no greater distance than 150km due to time limitation, for...
