    Which Camino route best suits dysfunctional knees?

    Totally agreeing with Trude above!!! I get why people still consider the CF as a good option, I really do - it does have good support! However - if you want to avoid hammering joints, then the Coastal Portugese from Porto is as good as it gets imo (ofc people can disagree 😀 - or have...

    I might have gotten this wrong, and if I have - apologies... You will have responsibility for children that are not your own. I think this adds stress as one wants to reassure parents that it will be safe... You can always book private albergues/hotels etc in advance and without a travel...

    Planning to leave in just under a month - All help gratefully accepted

    If you can afford it, I'd suggest getting a room in a hotel or a B&B, whatever fits in your budget and has availability should do it;). It will give you a chance to explore a bit of SJPP both in the evening and in the morning and you're likely to get a decent nights sleep. This will mean that...

    Planning to leave in just under a month - All help gratefully accepted

    Pay attention to backpack and footwear... The rest will fall into place:) If you already have a backpack that you're comfortable with - use it, even if it's large. Likewise with shoes - if you already have runners/trainers that you're comfortable with - use those. You can expect temperatures to...

    Many that do intercontinental flights seem to fly in to Paris, but as Skye suggested Madrid is a good alternative, too. If you fly in to Paris it means that it will be easier to start your camino in SJPP, but more awkward getting back to Paris at the end. If you start in Madrid it will be more...

    Hi there, new here so thought id say gday :)

    You might find that stopping at a town is not your preferred choice once you get started:) You will meet people from all walks of life, different countries, different ages. You might decide to mainly go solo, you might find that you meet people straight away and that you "gel". When I walk...

    Another newbie...

    Forgot to mention - if you're doing the Camino at the same time as me; I'll be the one with a pair of knitting needles. I'm doing a hat at the moment, and thought I'd finish the scarf on the Camino. Margrete :-)

    Hi :-) Jacqueline - I hope it will be a fantastic journey, but then again I've found over the last few years that if you approach 'new things' with some enthusiasm and a positive attitude; then what might be a negative to others might be turned around as a positive for yourself if that is how...

    Another newbie...

    Hi all I'm planning to start my Camino around the 20th-25th of October (depends on estate agents as I'm selling up). I feel (a bit?!?!?!) nervous, but also very excited. I've been lurking in the forums for a while, but figured it was time to de-lurk. I bought new hiking shoes a couple of days...
