which camino route?

    Solo trip in 2 weeks?!

    Without divulging my life, I'm having a really bad time and decided last night I want to walk the camino as it's something I have been talking about for years. However, due to my partners deployments and I think it's better for me to do it sooner rather than later, I am looking to start around...

    Which routes to combine?

    I'm planning my second camino from mid March until mid April. I have 4 weeks total, which will probably allow about 25 walking days. I walked the Camino Frances 10 years ago, and skipped the section from Burgos to Leon because I felt a resistance to the meseta. I've wanted to do the Norte...

    Which route to take on Portuguese camino?

    I have done the Frances a couple times and loved it. Now I will be taking my mother along for her first time. I would love your opinions on which route is best to take. We want to start in Porto. I am quite confused and overwhelmed by all the different routes to take! The only thing I really...

    Hello! Can anybody give me advice to help plan a very last minute, first time Camino?

    Hi! Life has recently found me at a slight crossroads and whilst trying to decide what direction to take next I remembered a friend of mine that walked the Camino a few years ago and the thought of a pilgrimage instantly resonated with me. I’ve spent a few days researching on various websites...

    Camino in late October/early November?

    It has always been on my bucket list to walk the Camino. I never thought I would have the time until retirement. I unexpectedly have about 10 days where I could go to Spain near the end of October. I have a few questions about going then. Is this a good time to go, or will weather be a...

    Via Serrana or Mózarabe from Málaga?

    I’ve read the great threads here and sources like Maggie’s blog, but just cannot choose between these two routes. In either case, I will be adding on a second part (Invierno, Sanabrés or Zamorano-Portugués, but I’m leaving that dilemma for later), so that I will walk into Santiago next year...

    28 walking days in March / April '24 - which Camino routes would be possible?

    Dear all, Sometimes you don't see the forest for all the trees, so I'm seeking some advice here. My partner and I have the chance to walk a Camino route next spring but now that - after years of waiting - the opportunity presents itself I feel surprisingly un-enthusiastic about possible routes...

    Contemplating walking the camino mid Sept 23 - Norte or Frances?

    Hi all, I realize since I'm posting this thread on the del Norte thread I might receive some biased comments, but here goes - I feel the camino calling again, and am trying to decide which route to choose. I've previously walked the Ingles in 2017 and Primitivo last fall (2022), the latter being...

    Which Camino to choose if the CF is too crowded?

    If not CF then which Camino? Posts about an over-crowded Camino have me worried. I chose the CF for my 1st based upon the strong recommendations of the experienced pilgrims on this forum. I now understand and agree that the CF is the best in regards to infrastructure, community, etc. But if...

    I need to switch it up!

    Would appreciate some input/thoughts on my desire to switch things up. I’m currently on my 3rd CF and I’m…almost bored (please don’t say bored people are boring, I think I’m merely experiencing a “been there, done that” situation). Last fall, I originally planned to walk a winter Camino and...

    Custom route question

    Hello, I tried to find other postings about this but haven't found anything suprisingly. I'm about to embark on my first camino with my wife and I always like to do things a bit differently.

    Hello! I am planning a first-time Camino starting in mid-September 2023 and wondering from those who have done the Portugues from Porto vs the Frances from SJPDP if you felt there was a significant difference in the experience in terms of time for self-reflection, spirituality and growth...
