There isnt any set/correct schedule, each person walks their own schedule, but my 2 cents worth:Hi all,
I’m new to the forum, and I’ll be going on the Camino Francés (my first Camino) on July 6th. I haven’t really been able to find any good recommendations online so far for a daily time schedule. I’m sure that everyone has their own preferences and pace, but generally speaking, what is a good time for the following?
• Waking up
• Starting to walk for the day
• Stopping to eat
• Completing the day’s walk/checking into an albergue
I would imagine that you start and finish rather early in the day to ensure a bed and have time for dinner and socializing, but I’m happy to hear all opinions.

Husband's timeline:
Sleep through the noise of others until 7 am.
Poke around as long as possible. Leave albergue at 8 am.
Talk to everyone he meets. Stop when he feels like it. Takes variants. Looks closely at plants and birds. Adjusts shoes and socks often.
Arrives in town. Drinks a beer. Checks into albergue. Showers, washes clothes, takes a nap.
Talks to everyone he meets at albergue using Google translate if needed. Walks around town, goes to church if available.
Fixes or eats supper with others. Helps wash up. Attends evening spiritual time. Goes to bed by 10 pm.
We are on a different timeline, but same routes.
Men are from Mars, women are from VenusMy schedule:
Up at 5:30.
Out walking no later than 6:30.
Find coffee at first possible place. Eat my last night's dessert of fruit or yogurt if I don't find anything early.
Stop walking at 10-12 miles.
Buy a cold beer.
Shop at store for lunch and maybe supper.
Check in at albergue, shower, wash clothes, take nap.
If I am up to it, write in journal, email home, explore town, talk to others, watch people, go to church if available, eat supper with others (either prepared together or as a community meal), help wash up, community spiritual time if available, sleeping before 10 pm.

My wife says I have alcoholic constipation - I can’t pass a bar.A good rule to live by is: Never walk past an open bar on Camino, unless the last one was less than an hour ago. Stop in, change the fluids, stretch out, nibble on something, suit up, pay up, and carry on.
I never planned anything. There were days I awoke early and there were days I awoke to an empty albergue (How did I sleep through the morning rush?) Never planned where I'd stay, just looked at the guidebook around noon and picked a stop around 2 hours out. Never ate breakfast, rarely had dinner, but, I had a huge Spanish lunch like only the Spanish have. I did carry one of those very large chocolate bars in the pack, just in case. I never went hungry and never was without a bed.Hi all,

IWake up when the first person in the dormitory switches on their headlight and starts noisily packing their gear.
Start walking once you’ve given up on sleeping and packed your own gear.
Stop to eat at the first opportunity you encounter, the next one might be further than you hope.
Check in to your Albergue when they’ll let you.
I just finished the Primitivo and learned through one of my walking mates is to try and reach or destination by 2-3pm in order to be able to eat the Menu del Dia. Otherwise you'll miss the meal and have to wait until 8pm for dinner. I found that was a good standard to go by so we would see how many km we were going to complete the next day and start appropriately. I always like to start around 6-7am. I don't want to stereotype but in my group I was the only American everyone else except for my Brit friend were from Europe and didn't start walking until 9-10am. Don;t know if that was a cultural thing or not. Just an observationHi all,

Wondering if you have gotten to play golf yet? Should help your golf walking game!I get up with the others in the albergue. Not a breakfast man, i walk past the breakfast bars, eating a Slim Jim if the previous dinner was vegetarian.
My original plan was to take it easy, 10 miles a day. Trouble is that gets you to 10 or 11 o'clock. Nothing opens for hours so you just sit on your pack. Boring. Best keep going
Are you renting your clubs or shipping them? Are you carrying balls, tees, gloves, shoes etc? Very interesting camino you are on hahaOh yes, I played in Logroño and just today in Burgos. The courses here are in beautiful condition and the players so willing to pick up a single into their group.
Club Golf Riocerezo included a delicious dinner with green fees of 36€, a Russian salad and trout stuffed with ham. My new friends would not let me pay for drinks.
At Logrono I rented clubs, that plus green fees and a sleeve of balls was 98 euros, walking. I brought a glove, hat and tee with me.The course is very nice but crowded so you have to wait for a threesome. Taxi from town (recommended) is $20, and then $20 to the next town.Are you renting your clubs or shipping them? Are you carrying balls, tees, gloves, shoes etc?

I never played during the camino but I have played in Wales, Ireland and Scotland. I played outside of Barcelona once. It was the course Seve grew up on. The clubhouse was an homage to the great Seve. The track was pretty weak. It was more like a glorified par 3. Saint Andrews it wasn't haha. (Never played there either) They made you rent a tiny 3 wheeler golf cart as I remember. I found it odd because everywhere in Ireland and Britain it was walking only. Carried my clubs too. That was about 25 years ago. Prices everywhere were really reasonable. There were some great courses I played. There was a muni in Wales that was about 8 pounds that was so interesting and challenging but fair that I will never forget although I have no remembrance of where it was.At Logrono I rented clubs, that plus green fees and a sleeve of balls was 98 euros, walking.

In Burgos Club Riocerezo I got there at 9:00 and there was no one working till 11:00. Luckily some members saw my plight and scrounged up a bag and some sticks. I caught up with a threesome and I ended up having a great time on a really nice course for $38 which included lunch. $20 taxi there and back.
Leon Golf was around $80 and was in bad condition, had almost no customers and long dry walks between holes. I played 9 by myself and then, down to two balls, quit.
