Hi everybody, and thank you for making the Camino seem real even before we have set foot on it!
It's now 20 years since I decided to walk the Camino, and finally it's on a planning stage. But it's almost with tears in my eyes I read about all you guys doing the whole Camino Frances, as I've realised I won't be able to do that for a few years yet.
So this will be us next summer: four adults and six kids aged 9-18, doing about ten days of walking in July or August with its heat and crowds. The kids are all good walkers, the youngest ones completed Hadrian's Wall aged seven, doing the normal stages of around 25km daily. But we don't want the rush for beds as we want this to be a special experence for them -and for us- so has anyone got any good suggestion for such a big group? I've read several views on camping, personally we would happily tent if doable? Or would it be easy to get family rooms along that last stretch? I realise these questions have been asked and answered before, but would really appreciate some help
