    A short (7-10 day) Camino over Christmas - which route/section?

    Hi! I'm not sure where to post this but would really appreciate any ideas from experienced Camino walkers. I am a Canadian living in Spain and, due to Covid, will probably not be flying home for Christmas this year but staying in Spain instead. I've already walked the Norte, Primitivo...

    LIVE from the Camino Spot of snow here in the Pyrenees

    I'm in a mountain refuge at 2150m up the side of the Pic du Canigou (hoping to do a camino joining Canigou with Montserrat, two sacred mountains for Catalans). It snowed hard most of the afternoon, probably 10-15cm accumulated here, more higher up. Assume it will be similar on the Route de...

    Requena: a Winter Camino?

    Hi again everyone, For the first time in my life I am planning for a Winter Camino. I was looking for a suitable Camino to spend about 10 days in Spain.

    Winter Camino Frances?

    Extra Precautions - For the Frances in Winter?

    I was prompted to ask, as I saw this wonderful photo. I often wonder what a Winter Camino might be like. Whilst I don't 'enjoy' the cold that much, I was brought up in the UK and lived there till age 40. The winter of 81 was fun. I recall it got to minus 20C! Obviously the right clothing is...

    Walking the Camino Ingles Solo In February or March

    I would like to walk the Camino Ingles sometime in between mid Feb and mid March. I have a few questions if anyone would be kind enough to advise: Am I likely to meet a few other pilgrims along the way? Although I want to walk on my own for some headspace I don’t want to feel too isolated. I...

    Thinking about walking Porto - Santiago this Dec/Jan 2019

    Hi All! I am a veteran pilgrim, however I've never walked anywhere in winter. I am tempted to walk from Porto starting around 12/28/19 and walking - slowly at first - towards Santiago. I would likely need very short days (15km?) for the first two or three days of walking. Would anyone know...

    Walking the Norte in Feb 2020 from Hondarribia - anyone else around then?

    Hi Peregrinos, Walking the camino has been a life-changing experience, and I cannot wait to walk another one (after completing the whole Francés in 2016 and Portugués from Porto in 2017). I am now excitedly preparing for my third camino starting from Hondarribia/Fuenterrabia around 24th...

    I am looking forward to walking the coastal route next year, health permitting. I can literally hardly wait! I have to fit it in between work and I'm musing about the possibility of being able to do it before when I've planned, which is next September. I'm free December and January :) I've...
