    April/May '19 - Three weeks - Which route?!?

    I miss walking the Camino. A lot. So rather than continue my walk through Germany and France to get to Spain in the three weeks I can take off next Easter/start of May, I'm wanting to fly down and spend that time in Iberia. I've walked about 1400km on the Camino so I wouldn't consider myself a...

    Advice on coastal route from Porto versus internal route

    Having walked the Camino Frances in 2017, the same group of us are planning to walk the Camino Portugues starting in Lisbon in third quarter 2019. From Porto, we are trying to decide whether to take the internal route, or alternatively walk the coastal route (Porto/Vila do Conde/Esposende/Viana...

    Crossing from Primitivo to Norte - the Camino Verde from Lugo to Sobrado

    Just to let folks know that I have completely updated the resource - José Manuel @xmsg and I walked the route in August and have updated all the directions, and refreshed the green arrows. It was fabulous. If you are planning the Primitivo and want to stay off the Frances as long as possible...

    Bitten by the (idea of walking the) Camino bug - 5/6/7 days. Need some advice.

    First off howdy - I'm new to the forum - found it by chance the other day while researching the Camino. From what I've seen so far this seems like a great community with a huge wealth of knowledge. I've wanted to walk the Camino for years, but never thought I would get a chance (the Frances...

    @Wendy Werneth and I are in the early stages of deciding which camino to do next year. We have two windows of opportunity and are thinking of doing either the Camino Mozárabe from Almería to Mérida from mid-March to mid-April, or the Camino Portugués Central from Porto to Santiago, with the...

    OK - Which Camino would you Pick if you were me?

    OK this is not scientific, but hey, polls are fun ;) Please READ this post before 'voting' so at least we get some semblance of the right 'direction' in the result. So. I'm thinking about my 4th Camino, and which one I might try. Of course, like many members here, I could try a different one...

    Start in Gibraltar or Almeria?

    I'm contemplating starting the VdlP before Sevilla. I just like the idea of starting at the Coast. Which would you pick and why? Via Serrana or Mozarabe? If I walk the Mozarabe I miss Sevilla.

    3rd time on Camino. . .struggling to decide. . .

    Hola peregrinos(as)! I walked the Camino back in 2003 (alone - fantastic!) then again in 2007 (with a partner - TERRIBLE) and I am now 40 and looking to walk the Camino again (was going to last Fall but life got in the way). However, I hesitate to walk the French way again as it seems to be so...

    Del Norte, Primitivo, Portuguese or Francesco

    Hi all, My partner and I are looking to walk our next Camino in August 2018, after having previously walked Francés in 2016 and 2011. We’d like to explore a different route and we are both fit and open to something a little more challenging the Francés. Our favourite things about the Camino...

    2nd Camino - Repeat CF or try something new?

    My wife and I completed CF from SJPP in 2017 and are talking about doing another Camino. I kind of want to do CF again to relive some of the best moments and experience some new things we might have missed. She thinks we should take on another route like CP to experience something entirely new...

    Best 3 week route for October?

    Hi Forumees, Given last year's Oct bushfires, is there a route that would be preferable for mid October 2018? This is my second Camino following a 2 week central CP/VDLP in 2016. I thought of the CF but don't want huge crowds - like Pitt Street as we say down here. Thanks :)

    How would you rank the Caminos by difficulty?

    This will probably generate as many wildly different opinions as socks or blister prevention, but for those of you who have walked multiple routes: How would you rank the Caminos by difficulty, from easiest to hardest? (If possible, please distinguish variations like the Portuguese Interior...
