Hey everyone,
This sight is absolutely incredible and reading everyone's experiences has convinced me this is going to be more than just an experience of beautiful sceneries and intensive walking. I think the more I know, the better prepared I will be for the trip! I am really excited, but also scared about all the unexpected things that could happen along the trip- especially because I have not organised much of it apart from the flight there and back..
1) I am arriving in Burgos on the 3rd September and hoping to get to Santiago de Compostela by the 20th September: Does anyone think this is impossible timing?
2) I going with two other friends.. will we be able to cycle a part of the trip? Perhaps rent some bikes from one village and drop it in another?
3) What time should we aim to reach each village to look for accommodation? I have heard that by midday most people are already looking for hostels..
4) And a very vague question: For anyone who has an interest in architecture, public spaces or design, which villages would you recommend staying more time in? Or are there any places that are perhaps not mentioned in the guidebooks that you would recommend going to see? Any responses would be greatly appreciated as I want to get as much out of the trip as possible!!
5) Also, which parts of the camino have the highest amount of abandoned villages which are starting to revive as a result of the popularity of the camino?
I will be so grateful for any responses as I am doing this trip partly because of my interest in travelling and architecture but mostly as a internal, spiritual experience. I am really excited but also a little scared of my lack of preparation..
