OK, you can see the obvious link with a previous poll 🤫

I'm just curious, for those who used a travel company on their First Camino, where do you come from? i.e. Live Now.

By travel company, I mean primarily they arranged your accommodation. (probably luggage transport as well)

Might be an interesting correlation...

And the debates about the 10 selected zones and where you were born v where you live now were all had on the post linked above ;)

Not MY first camino, but it was the first camino for the 15 people in my group.

They wouldn’t go alone, so I organized it all for them, but I’m not a travel company, and they paid cost price.

I booked all their accommodation for them, but they each paid the suppliers directly when we got to them.

They bought their own air tickets, and carried their own packs.

Do they count? If so, you can tick Africa 15 times 😂.

First in the alphabet but last in the list 😟.

I took care to use the same list as the other Poll ;)
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

The correlation, whatever one can see in this poll, will only represent the members of this forum, and out of these, only those willing to cast a vote.

The results of the poll about "Where do you come from", ie where do you live now, show a huge discrepancy between the proportion of where people come from on this forum and where all the people come from who walk a Camino.

I've no experience of my own to share, I didn't even meet many camino walkers who were on an organised tour, and if I did, it wasn't something I recorded in any notes or gave prime space in my internal memory banks because frankly, despite the rants on here and the anecdotes, camino walkers who had booked with a tour agency, especially if it was on what is called a self-guided tour, are not particularly discernible when you pass them or chat with them on the way or at a rest place. And I'm glad that this thread is back on course! Don't turn this into rants and justifications.

My money would be on "Western Europe", btw, in this case mainly France, Germany, UK, Ireland and so on. It's the largest "feeder area", apart from Spain obviously, and it is where I noticed a remarkable increase in the offer of walking tours on the Caminos, whether self-guided or guided, during the last decade or so.

I understand your points. It's hardly representative. Just a bit of fun...

Is this the same curiosity that other members seem to have been struck down by recently, Polentellus 🤠
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
