    Spring has sprung?

    I walked the Camino Frances between April 28 - June 5, 2022, and I chose that time of year because of the very reason about which you inquire. It was gorgeous. Everything was in bloom, and I fell in love with the Flanders poppies! One caution, though... the competition for beds was fierce...

    May/June on Camino Francés

    I left SJPdP at the end of April and arrived in Santiago on June 5, 2022. Quite busy the whole way. In particular, the segment from Sarria to Santiago was nuts. Easily three times as many people, overnight.

    St Jean to Muxia in 20 days - or less!

    I can well imagine! An image of tires burning rubber on the pavement comes quickly to mind. Good luck and Buen Camino!!

    St Jean to Muxia in 20 days - or less!

    From one who had major foot problems on my Camino last year, ultimate respect, Gentlemen!! Amazing accomplishments, all. Just curious, Tiger Mike, what kind of shoes did you wear for this marathon event? I'm sort of assuming you wore no shoes at all, but rather had wings on your feet!

    Foncebadon!!!

    Thanks, Chrissy! I might not have done it at all but for the fact that before I left for the Camino, my 14-yr-old granddaughter, who was an avid follower of my journey, gave me a shiny rock and asked me to place it for her at the base of the Cruz de Ferro. Mission accomplished! It was...

    Foncebadon!!!

    I had quite a different experience when I walked my first Camino last year. I had originally planned on spending the night in Rabanal, but decided instead to push on to Foncebadon, with the thought of "splitting" the stages and making it easier to find a bed. I'll quote from my blog on that...

    Peregrina in wheelchair robbed near Melide

    Unfortunately, bad things can happen to good people anywhere, at any time, even on the Camino. There really is no "safe" place anywhere, but it is particularly sad and egregious when it happens to someone so vulnerable. What a cowardly thing to do! I'm glad the perpetrator was apprehended...

    Flora and Fauna along the Camino Frances

    I began my Camino Frances in SJdPP on April 30th of this year and finished in Santiago de Compostela on June 5th. I chose that time of year specifically because I hoped to take advantage of the Springtime floral display, and I was not disappointed! The Flanders poppies always brought a smile...

    I made it!!

    Congratulations, Mananath! I completed my first Camino the first week in June, so I can definitely identify with your emotions at the end of the journey! I, too, had foot issues, so double congrats!!

    May/June or September/October on the Camino Frances?

    Loved your picture of the meseta in the Fall. Here are a couple of counter-reasons why I'm glad I went in the Spring (May-June, 2022):
