    Question about Roman road route from Calzadilla de los Hermanillos to Mansilla de las Mulas

    I also felt nervous walking this stretch(at 72) but really there is nothing to worry about. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Go for it.

    Advice needed on Camino ‘organised tours’

    Try Iberian Adventures. A superb company based in Spain and know every inch of the Camino. They will always book you in places actually in the Camino unlike some other companies.

    VIRTUAL Camino Francés

    I have now reached Hornillios de Campo on my Virtual Camino. Like many I am not aiming for anywhere in particular in any given day, but count my miles and then map it out. Crossing the Pyrenees , I chose the steepest road I could find to begin my journey. It has got easier and although we are...

    Favorite Leg/Section

    The last time I walkied the CF I climbed O Cebrerio without other folk. The peace, the tranquility, the beauty and the quietness is still with me today and I hope that feeling never leaves. Awesome is a word bandied about these days but it sums up eve I described. I hope others felt this as well.

    Orisson or onwards to Roncesvalles

    Really depends on the day. If you get rain then onto Roncevalles. If you get 38degrees, stop in Orrison. It is a hard slog but beautiful. Enjoy whatever you decide.

    Early September, too crowded?

    I started September 1st three years ago and found no problems with crowds however the temperatures hit 38degrees on day one walking the Pyrenees . Be prepared for all eventualities , but most of all enjoy the journey. Don’t be put off by what people say, it is your Camino and how you do it is...

    is the first day as daunting as it looks?

    A lot will depend on the weather. When I walked this in the mist and coolish weather, I never noticed the uphill section but of course. I didn’t see the views. The next time it was 38degrees and everyone realised that even with water it was much tougher. I know I was 72 yrs old but the younger...

    Newbie - Camino Francés + Finisterre and Muxia

    I think you have managed to work out exactly the schedule which would suit the majority of caministas. Your rest days are just what they say REST. Don’t think you have to race around cities and towns to see what they have to offer. Sit back and embrace the feeling and culture by people...

    Walking the CF for the Second Time?

    No two Caminos are the same.the first time I walked the CF with my husband and another couple, the next time I walked by myself. Both trips have special memories and people. I am in no doubt that your experiences will be different but good and rewarding. I think the CF draws you back and it is...

    Does CF feel like a crowded theme park now?

    Your Camino is what you make it. You will find plenty of moments where you can be alone with your thoughts. As for crowds from Sarria, let them move on, chose the NEXT cafe for coffee, they will appreciate the fact that you didn’t stop at the first one you came across. Buen Camino
