Um, you do realize that the Camino mostly goes through and along peoples' own homes and properties, right? I concluded that every single tree I saw had an owner. (On the Camino Portugues I saw a lot of cork trees that were prominently labeled. On the Camino Frances we walked past a lot of almond trees.) Every "forest" was actually an owned wood lot. And every row of trees that looked thick and private was actually someone's driveway hedge.

It's not like national park back country hiking in the US. They let it look green and don't have lots of fences in some parts, but it's owned property. You would need to get the owner's permission before you camp and build a fire.

The Camino is day hikes, and along many trail segments there are facilities. Like "campings" which always have a friendly bar with restrooms and coffee and snack. (You can rent a spot for your tent at a camping place. And it looks like a number of them will rent a little "cabin" thing to pilgrims or other travelers.)

We met a Spaniard once who had tried walking along the AT. He told us that it was very disappointing to him. The whole idea of hike trails is different in different places.

Buen camino.
 
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.

Yes, pardon me. So I've just read this cool article about the closing of the Puerta del Perdón in the Monastery of Santo Toribio for the holy year (and it is a very beautiful peurta for sure). It...
