This summer I'll be walking the camino for the first time.
I've trekked before and we mapped out our route very precisely before we left, on a detailed map. This however, was because we walked in isolated areas where you wouldn't meet a soul in days.
From what I've heard there will be lots of pilgrims walking in July/August, which is when I'll be starting my walk.
So my question is, do I need to carefully map out a route before I leave in order not to get lost or will I be alright following other pilgrims and signs on the way?
If I do need a map, which one would you recommend?
Thanks for all the great advice on this forum
