- Time of past OR future Camino
- Del norte, french, Portuguese, via dela plata. Sanabrese, Murcia and finestere
I am due to travel to Bilbao next friday to mainly walk the start of the del norte until Bilbao when I started it 3 previously. Before heading off to the primitivo.
In preparation for covid19 I had bought a small tent to use if albergues are full or dont seem safe enough. I am also not too keen on walking long stretches without any other pilgrim in site, like i did mainly last summer on the via dela plata.
Where sometimes I spent days alone. So I would like to spend a balanced amount of time alone and also with other pilgrims for safety. So watching Ivar's video today was slightly assuring but also sad because Santiago looked desolate.
So ten days to my departure I am still undecided if I should make the trip and I am a devastated and have been tearful since hearing the UK government's decision on travelling to Spain on Saturday.
I dont know what to do. my none pilgrims friends and family think I am selfish for wanting to travel and they dont understand why I am besides myself or the pull to the camino. They feel that I am putting myself and others at risk. I am so torn. I cant literally decide, because I would never want to intentionally harm anyone.
To me each year going to the Camino is like coming home. I am really devastated that I might not come home this summer. As it seems that the UK government's position keeps changing every couple of hours.
I cant gauge how prevalent it is, or if it is worse than here in the UK. I would greatly appreciate any advice or words of comfort or wisdom from fellow pilgrims.
