    20 KM days possible on the Ingles?

    Btw we found the Johnnie Walker guide excellent!

    20 KM days possible on the Ingles?

    We did the camino Ingles this past August with three of our kids and walked it over 7 days with only two 20+ days. The walking was easy for the most part - a little tough on the hill out of Pontedueme and the hill after Casa Bar Julia, but the rest was easy. We were glad we had short days...

    Walking with large family

    Well here's our journey in a (large) nutshell. If anyone wants to know about specifics I'd be happy to answer. Flew from Canada to Madrid to A Coruna then bus to Ferrol. Overnight at Hotel Silva. Walked to Naron next day (easy) and stayed at Hotel Kensington. Walked to Cabanas, super hot...

    Walking with large family

    Well we're back from the Camino Ingles and it was a wonderful experience. We ended up only taking 3 of our children - age 17, 18 and 24 so it made for quite a nice trip. The weather was horribly hot and muggy though - up to 37 C some days, which is extremely hot for a family from western...

    Quick question

    We pre-booked accommodations for next August only because we are bringing 5 children and must find a place to stay together each night. If it was just my husband and I, I don't think I would bother. Staying in accommodations that can be reserved does add to the cost of the pilgrimage. When are...

    Walking with large family

    Thanks, that would be great! And we have 5 children with us so I'm assuming 2 cabs:)

    Walking with large family

    Well our plans are all coming together and I thought I would give an update for anyone interested. We had booked accommodations and scheduled our walk for 6 days but I was still struggling with the 31 km day even though many of you were very encouraging (thank you!). However, I have a bad knee...

    Ingles -vs- other short route options?

    Love all the positive responses re the camino Ingles as we are doing that in August. I was just at a local camino meeting where I live and everyone there had positive comments about the Ingles. We are doing it over 6 days though and still have one really long day. Although I'm sure you are in...

    Late evening check ins

    We have booked all our accommodations as we have a large family but I was wondering if anyone could comment on checking in later in the evening as well as finding food. If we are going to be quite late should we just pack dinner or eat on the way if possible or do the towns have late night...

    Average walking speed

    Does anyone have an idea of the average walking speed on the Camino Ingles between Betazos and Bruma? I realize everyone is a different age and fitness level - I'm just looking for a speed to target in training as this is a 31 km day to our accommodation just past Bruma. Thanks in advance!

    Sights to see in Ferrol?

    We have about a day and a half booked in Ferrol to get over our jet lag before starting to walk the camino. Any suggestions on sights to see etc while we are there. Thanks Susan

    Hi Tia, I have some questions for you but aren't sure how to private message you on this forum. Can you tell me or shall I just post the questions in this thread? Thanks Susan

    Walking with large family

    Thanks Tia - this was very helpful. I will work on our route and accommodations today and hopefully have them booked this weekend. We had to chose this time of year to hike as 2 of our children are in university. Since August is so busy we opted for the Camino Ingles instead of walking from...

    Walking with large family

    Hi. My husband and I and 5 or 6 of our children (ages 12 to 28) are walking the Camino Ingles at the end of August 2016. We fly into Coruna and have booked accommodations for 2 days in Ferrol to get over our jet lag (we are coming from Canada). Then we want to walk over 6 days but everything...
