Time of past OR future Camino
(2018)
I am a retired teacher and want to do the Camino de Santiago. I am old, but fit. I run and walk a lot. I need to be back in the states for my daughter's wedding at the beginning of April. Do I need to plan for 2 months or can it be less? Will I be all alone on the Camino during February and March?
Thanks.

It can certainly be hit or miss. I had days when there was me and there were other days when there were a full dozen. In general though, expect a more solitary journey. One thing I will mention is that because so few Albergues were open, those of us on the trail generally ended up in the same Albergue at night and if you didn't see everyone that night you'd surely see them the next night! Good luck.
 
Altus Poncho (ATMOSPHERIC H30)
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
And to address your timeframe, 2 months would be very achievable but most fit people could do it in 33-35 days comfortably but nothing wrong with shorter days and using all 40!
 
Hi - I am planning to start out in one of the first days of february from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port
. It is my first Camino, and it would be nice to follow with someone the first days to Pamplona.

No there will be others but some of the albergues may be closed. It’s a good time to go not crowded and it may be cool but ok. I usually go in early March and enjoy it. I’d allow 45 days which is about 20km per day or 12 miles. Take more time if you want to do less miles/day. My last Camino was in 2019 and due to Covid wasn’t able to get back till this year I’m now 75 Go for it.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
