which camino route?

Hello everyone, I have walked the English Way back in September '15 and have the most pleasent memories. Great landscapes and woods, scarce road segments, amazing people, and easy to find a bed in Public Albergues. I will walk the Camino again in late August 2021 and wanted to know your...

Hello 👋 We are planning on walking some of the Camino portugués from Porto. We are unlikely to complete the whole thing with our timetable. which route would people that have walked or recommend? The costal or the interior? Thanks in advance!

So with our current status of not traveling here in Western Australia, We are planning our next Camino (later in 22 or early 23). I'm torn between the Morzarabe and the Sureste. We have done the Norte, VdPl and the Portuguese routes previously. Does anyone have experience with the above 2...

Hi there! I'm embarking on my first Camino in August if the situation doesn't go south with the covid-situation. It's going to be a 14-day'ish trip since that's about the time I got. I've been planning on starting in St. Jean Pied Pe Port and perhaps ending in Burgos, thereby doing the first...

We are planning to walk in Sept/Oct of this year. We have approx. 3 weeks and would like to begin in SJPP. Very much want to experience crossing the Pyrennes. Would like input on what part of the Camino Frances to leave out and be able to finish in Santiago.

Hello ☺️ Apologies in advance if these topics have been covered a lot. I'm super uncertain given 2021 changes. Starting my camino 17 July 2021. This is my first camino. I'm 30, fit, and have trained with my pack. I'll be walking solo. I'm very content alone but like to be social now and...

Hi All. I'm new here and hoping to do the Camino this coming August. I'll have 2/3 weeks to spend in Spain so could do a 11-14 day camino. I have read many posts about two week caminos and what route is recommended but none with my specific question. I'll be going alone and hoping to meet some...

We have walked the CF twice, both winter, both via Valcarlos. I wouldnt mind doing the Madrid, however, I was out-voted for the Portuguese (not coastal as again, this will be a winter walk) I started planning but my heart wasn't totally, completely in it. I figured because it wont be for...

I did the last 100 km of the Camino Frances with my son a couple of years ago. Now I’m taking my daughter this summer. Should I try something different? I wish I could do more but alas it will have to wait til retirement? Should I do the last 100 km of the Frances again? Or something...

Hola, I was looking for insight as to the difference/pro's v cons of walking the the Norte vs the Primitivo....... I won't be walking all the way to Santiago as I only have 10-12 days to walk......

Hello fellow pilgrims- I am thinking of taking a few months to hike from Portugal to Italy (Lucca) I can follow the route from Lisbon to Santiago, then Santiago to SJPDP but then the way though France from there seems fragmented. As far as I can tell, all southern French routes end at Arles...

Hey everyone, I live in Valencia, Spain, so I'm already in Spain. The official state of alarm ends on May 9th, and my plan is to (hopefully, assuming travel restrictions ease internally) head up and do 7-10 days of one of these two hikes. I don't expect albergue's to be open yet, so I'll...

I had my 77th birthday on the Camino Francés in 2019. I'm now contemplating another for my 80th year in 2022, but I'm not sure I could manage the Francés again. Any suggestions? James

I wondered if anyone had done one Camino after another at anytime and how it felt mentally and physically. Was it too much, did it get boring, not enjoyable etc! Last year I did the Portuguesa (from Porto) ending 06 July and then started Frances on 26 July. The Frances was unplanned and I...

Hi, I have been finding my way around the forum, learning and enjoying all the helpful and diverse opinions and suggestions shared here! I have been a hiker for most of my life and stumbled upon a virtual Camino app during the pandemic, and my interest in walking a Camino pilgrimage has been...

I have 12 days to walk. I’ve already walked Astorga to SDC with my wife in 2016. Now I get to walk alone, my way. I would like opinions/suggestions on how to best utilize those days. Start at SJ and walk or Start at Oviedo and walk....but again I only have 10-12, days of walking and a total of...

To mark my 70th birthday I would like to walk 700 km, starting from Pamplona. I have walked several times for 2 weeks on the Portuguese and from Leon. I do not want to walk to Sarria to Santiago section, and am looking at a) Pamplona to Ponferrada, then bus to Ourense, then Ourense to...

A handy website for planning purposes. What others would you recommend?

Since there seems to be an uptick in optimistic potential pilgrims on the forum, I thought I would raise this issue for broader discussion. It has been discussed before, but fresh eyes and thoughts might be energizing. If you are a newbie, and if you are like me, when you started planning...
