What pushed or invited or drew you to set off for 'The Camino'?
As OnHellas says above, during various motorcycle tours of Spain I saw many people walking and did comment several times to my friend about it, such as "What are all these people doing wandering about in the middle of nowhere?" Given our tours were meandering we never got a sense of their...- David61

How the Camino can change your life: Personal experiences and expectations
I took a short sabbatical to walk the Camino in 2019. I left expecting nothing more than a small adventure similar but of a different nature to others I have enjoyed since turning 50. For me I walked alone mainly, allowing for much reflection and contemplation of the bad parts of my life, loss...- David61

is this too crazy?
Crazy is as crazy does. Back in 2019 I met a Belgian who had literally walked out his front door and began his Camino. This was end of June and he had started beginning of April if I recall correctly. We worked it out if he had walked the most direct route he would do 1800km but he was not a...- David61

Do your own Camino
For the record the OP wrote "I love long distance walking and if staying in hotels and having my luggage transported ahead makes the experience more enjoyable, then so be it." Pretty sure that is backpack transport but what do I know?- David61

Do your own Camino
2016 a friend and I were doing a motorcycle tour of France and Spain and one evening we arrived at our hotel, checked in, shower, outside having a beer. The lovely lady who checked us in came out got in a car and drove off, returning a while later with two women with rucksacks. At the time I had...- David61

Camino with the most animal encounters
As you walk through Spain, particularly Galicia you will see storehouses raised on legs called horreo. They are often quite large but many are in small holdings and even gardens. They are to keep the millions of rodents away from the grain. Sorry- David61

Camino with the most animal encounters
On the Chemin St Jacques (Camino de Santiago in France) we stayed at a lovely gites owned by a French couple and we were having dinner in the garden and the English ex pat from next door joined us.

Hire car from Santiago that I can leave in Ponferrada.
Around 140 Euro. Put your dates up on the forum and you could well get car share buddies, even if its a small detour to say Sarria. Would offset a lot of the cost for you- David61

Daily cost of the Camino?
Unfortunately no one can say yet what future costs will be. There will undoubtedly be extra costs involved for albergues and hostels if they try to improve standards in terms of social distancing and hygiene. Add in the fact that some albergues will not be re-opening after experiencing some...- David61
