- Time of past OR future Camino
- Fall 2012, again Fall 2014.
Beth and I are currently in Leon, having just arrived (by car) from Santo Domingo de la Calzada.
There are many pilgrims on the Camino now, more than I or everyone I spoke with have expected.
We leave by train tomorrow , 20 Sept., for Sarria to begin our Camino. And I am glad we have booked ahead.
The 4 albergues in Santa Domingo's Calle Mayor were filled before 2 PM. We just spoke with two American women who have been turned away from several places in the past week. They would give anything for a cell phone to be able to call ahead.
We drove from Santo Domingo de la Calzada to Leon paralleling the Camino, and we were amazed at the number of pilgrims.
Not to dissuade anyone, but be prepared is all I'm saying.
The weather is fantastic. Warmer than normal, and should be good for the next few days. We've had a great trip so far and now the Camino will be the high point, I am sure.
