Good news for oldies

@C clearly,
Thank you for post. On exercise, I am 55, and off to take my class for professional dancers 40 plus, most of whom are 60 plus.
Buen camino to we oldies all.

Hey @C clearly,
Thank you for sharing this article. I've spent nearly three months, over the last two years, in Spain and while I can speak well enough to reserve a bed and order a meal, I don't have any conversational skills whatsoever. Considering that I've been bitten by the Camino bug and look forward to future adventures in Spain, this article was the kick in the pants I needed to broaden my language skills. The learning begins today!

Hello everyone who has helped with tips re this forum.......and a special Hello to three Scots from Fife [one couple/one single man] who I met 2 years ago this September in the lovely Santander Hostel [right on the front]: at that point I had never walked any of the Camino and it was a delight listening to their stories. My apologies but I cannot remember any names but it was just to let you know that my husband and me are heading off to Porto on Tuesday [12/9], spending a few days with friends and then starting our walk from the Portuguese/Spanish border on Sunday. We decided rather than go back to Porto we would travel by bus from Santiago to Santander so my husband could experience a taste of that lovely hostel. Unfortunately we were too late and its fully booked but a day/night in Santander before we fly home to Edinburgh will still be worth the journey. If anyone of you remembers your time in Santander I would love to hear from you. Mary, Edinburgh

When planning for a bushwalk or Camino I stand by this : 50% of the fun is in the planning and the other 50% is in the talking about the trip afterwards..... draw your own conclusions (Attrib Robert Pallin - for those Sydney and SBW Bushwalkers )
