    signage along the route

    It is impossible to lose the way, because the signs are very visible. In France, signs are white and red, in Spain these are big yellow arrows. In Spain, the only problem is that the arrows are visible only in the sense of going to Santiago. So if we lose we must be careful to find the yellow...

    signage along the route

    For me, it's better to talk about duration to run per day instead of distance per day. 6 ou 7 hours walking or running it is enough to keep little a time to eat, drink, wash, sleeping and meeting others pilgrims. So if your speed average per hour is 7 km you can do 50 Km per day for 16 days...

    Skip the middle??

    My wife and I were hiking on the camino francès in 2010 and 2012. If we were in your situation, we would start around Leon. 470 km hiking to reach Santiago. It is better for relations with other pilgrims to walk in one portion. In fact, you will make friends before Pamplona and then you have to...

    46 days to walk!! where do you suggest she starts?

    The best start is SJPDP. The first stage is the most difficult, for this reason she should sleep at Orisson her first night on the camino. 46 days, it's enough to walk shorts stages for the begining of this long way and she will be able to go to Fisterra and the ocean. Follow this link to...

    Elephant in the room (forum)

    I'm sure that most people walking the Camino aren't religious. They are not practising Catholics, neither Christians. A lot of them do not practice any faith at all, but everyone still find a spiritual connection with the Camino . When I was young, I was a Catholic and I remain influenced by...

    I will walk the Camino with “NO” money

    I will never do such a pilgrimage. Christian charity or respect for people who welcome us is to participate in the local economy. Spain is in great financial difficulty and especially the regions crossed by the way.

    A tent... your opinions please

    In my opinion, the tent is not usefull because : - camping is expensive in Spain - there are a few campingsite and they are far of the camino - when you sleep in a tent, you are not with the others peregrinos The accomodations and albergues on the camino are many and cheaper than camping. My...

    The first few steps.

    I look straight ahead faraway but my gaze does not see very well. In other words, I fixed my gaze far ahead in front of me but I look on the sides, I focus my mind on peripheral vision so I feel that I don't move but it's the sides that are moving. excuse me for my bad english.

    An unholy year on the Camino Frances

    You have the conviction to be right, you think it is imperative you see your past accomplishments and future on the way to Compostela, you argue that tourists have no place on the way, you can not stand snorers or not hikers or promiscuity or in shelters or in the cathedral of Santiago, which...
