The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
If you are from Kosovo I think you might need a visa to enter Spain, therefore you will have your passport with you anyway while in Spain, right? So you might as well use that in the albergues, although I’m sure the albergues themselves will accept your National ID card too.
 
Yes i have schengen Visa but i am not shore if Spain accept the passport of the Republic of Kosova .I hope yes because i realy dream to do the Camino not for some religion matters because i am muslim but just as spiritual walk like in the movie The way
 
I am from Kosovo .Do they accept national ID what do u think ?
Kosovo is not recognized as a state by Spain, so if you only have a 'regular' Kosovan passport, you are not entitled to travel to Spain, even if you have a Schengen visa. Are you sure that you have a uniform Schengen visa (USV) at all, valid for all Schengen states? Since Kosovo is not recognized by Spain, other Schengen countries usually only issue Schengen visas with limited territorial validity (LTV) for all Schengen countries except Spain to Kosovan citizens.

The only travel documents recognized by Spain for inhabitans of Kosovo are travel documents issued by the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo.

This is what I found.

I think you should call the Spanish embassy where you live and ask them what you need to do to apply for a visa...
Good luck and I hope you will get to do the Camino.

@Astrit there are four main routes in Frances described in the 12th century. The one with the best infrastructure today is the route from Le Puy en Velay to St Jean Pied de Port. Here is a description on the Unesco World Heritage site
 
Thanks a lot . I think in sumemr or fall will go for the Way of Piedmont as i have seen some pictures it has some magnificient views . Again sorry if i dont have many informations about this roads becuae i come from the country that is far away from this culture of walking . So sorry if sometimes i am out for some ways

If you do not want to walk in France you can consider Doing the Portuguese. That is as close to the Spain environment as you can get.

But the Camino Portuguese ends at Santiago in Spain. I think the Le Puy route is a good option as the towns along the way are historic and beautiful and the scenery is magnificient

In the same situation as the original poster I would not go to Portugal. If there were a problem with flights (say another volcano eruption) there would be no legal land transportation back home

Welcome brother. I hope you decide to walk the Le Puy. It will be beautiful.
