Not allowed to walk....stay at home here.
Just for getting food, pharmacy, bank, post and work if necessary.
I don't think anyone in Spain is allowed to be outdoors except for necessities.I was just wondering if there is still anyone walking the camino at this moment?
Good idea, I was out cycling today and had a similar thought, I was going to cycle to Lisbon via Santiago from Scotland, and will do as you are suggesting a virtual cycle , will help to get fit too.Like so many others I, with a heavy heart, cancelled my flight for April 6 a few days ago, though I had resigned myself earlier to ending my " kid free" Camino time. For a week now our family has been in isolation, as is required of every one. Our only outings are our daily walks which we have found increasing in length and time, especially on the days above zero. And so I have decided to walk my Camino. I will track our daily hikes, and mark it on my route. I will take a picture to add to my "travel" log. I will come home and make a cafe leche to warm up. Perhaps I will reach Santiago by the time the isolation order end.Any others still interested I walking with me? Keep you updated on my progress.
I read that the police in France are checking strava to tell people not to cycle for fun!In France we are allowed individual sport " a proximité de domicile" so how do wé define that? I'm thinking that as long as it's a non-stop loop with no contact that should be OK. Say 10km on foot, 30Km on a bike? What do you all reckon?
Maybe in some really rural areas,I know, I live in Spain myself, but I was wondering, or in spit,e of all, therr are walkers outthere?
@SabineP You can walk in your neighbourhood, meaning taking some air, is not going do a training walk.
It is sometimes difficult to understand what is written (En effet, tous les déplacements non essentiels étant interdits) "Indeed, all non-essential movements being prohibited" ... I live not in the countryside.
Hope we all can walk soon again
That's great! In 2014 I was packed and ready to leave on my first camino but was diagnosed with lymphoma so had surgery and months of chemo - so during chemo I walked - and throughout those long summer months I logged 560 miles on my "Chemo Camino". In 2015 I walked the French route, 2016 the Portuguese, 2017 the Way of St. Olav in Norway, and 2018 the Primitivo. The "Chemo Camino" was a great start to many caminos, and I'm still walking and planning the Camino dos Faros for next year. So, do your Camino wherever you are now and plan for future adventures.

Kelley, it sounds like a luxury to me. I assume than in Spain, under your circumstances (that is, living in an "detached" farm) you could do the same. Farmers can take care of the animals and the crops. Life is harder living in cities.Here we can go out and walk or run or bicycle. I live at the edge of a small village, outside a small city (Ithaca) in the western part of New York State (the Fingerlakes Region). All non-essential businesses are closed, schools are closed, playgrounds are closed. I walk up to the barn where I keep my horse everyday to take care of him, and clean the stall. I take my dog with me. It is a private barn-- owned by a neighbor and we keep our distance when we see each other. I see others walking, some in family groups, and we wave and call out to each other. I told my boys they could throw a frisbee on our field to each other, but not with friends.
Yes, I'm in Madrid and it's like a ghost town. Only people getting to walk are dog owners. I had thought about dressing up the cat to look like a dog, but decided against it in the end (a few fang a claw marks later).In Spain, it is forbidden to walk outside, run, ride your bike or exercise outside in any way. You can only go out to buy food, prescription drugs or other basic stuff. Also you can go to work (if you are still working off-line) or you can go to take care of the elderly if you need to. In any circumstance, you have to go by yourself, unaccompanied (no shopping with kids or in pairs).
Most everyone abides by the rules, and very many open balconies and windows to clap and cheer at eight o clock every night, to show gratitude to doctors and other in the front lines, and to hug each other in the distance. It is quite emotional.
I envy those of you that can walk outside, but I guess it is safer not to, at least if you are living in a city.
Hope this is a short nightmare.

Sorry, not that far. Message from Minister of sport said had to be close to home, 1or 2 km, but not 10 (her phraseology) , but I guess there’s nothing to stop you doing a 2 km circuit around your locality five times; don’t forget your attestation. Cycling for pleasure now prohibited.In France we are allowed individual sport " a proximité de domicile" so how do wé define that?

This website was mentioned in one of Camino groups on Facebook. It works along with Fitbit, Garmin or pedometer to log your distance and tracks your progress as you “walk” on your chosen trail. I might do this when I leave work in 5 weeks to keep me active, especially now that thanks to Coronavirus I can’t get my daily fix at the gym.

Yeah 9.5kg would be no fun!Managed to combine shopping and a walk along the river as shop less than two km away (and I did have my attestation, in case I was stopped by gendarmes). Have decided that I don’t want to carry 9.5 kg if possible, when I walk the Camino.
Oh dear. In that case I shall be green lane to the shops. Nearest shop is 6km and I have saddle bags big enough for four days shopping. As I can do this without seeing a single person, let alone a house, using a little care until I arrive at the edge of our small town, I think I am staying in the spirit of the rules.Sorry, not that far.

The new reality! I remember the first 3D movie I saw (G-Force and don't judge me Coffeemaker!) where in the opening frames a fly carrying a spy camera comes zooming out of the screen and everybody in the audience ducked!Today I walked from Azofra to Santa Domingo de la Calzada on the treadmill in my living room while looking at BK LEE's video Day #9. I walk @ 4km/hr for an hour daily facing a big screen TV set up as a monitor viewing YouTube.. It usually takes me four days to get through each of Mr Lee's daily recordings. It's fun seeing where I walked in 2013 on the Camino Frances. Seeing the occasionally familiar landscape move past as I walk. I have discovered several places where he makes a wrong turn and gets off the Camino. I find myself yelling at him "hey, you missed that arrow". Quite a bit of the time I feel myself stepping up over curbs, and swaying to miss objects in his line of travel. His videos really don't have sound, so I play my own music to walk with. Usually Spanish Guitar music. At the rate I do this I expect to take a little less than 5 months to walk from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago.
Luckily I won't be carrying potatoes and onions!Yeah 9.5kg would be no fun!
This is the new attestation, sadly even more restrictive, but necessary. https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/Actua...-et-justificatif-de-deplacement-professionnelOh dear.

Sue, do you have a link? Because it's what's written down that has legal value, and I don't see any distances on the government web site.
I am walking daily at home too. I live in a rural area of western NY State. So far, I've only been walking a mile or two per day, but your post encourages me to take a few 10-15 miles walks this week. Great idea-- Thank-you.

Yes, there are still a few veteran pilgrims walking in Portugal as they can't pass SpainI was just wondering if there is still anyone walking the camino at this moment?
