Time of past OR future Camino
Francés - StJPP-Santiago May-June 2022
(Thought I’d done this already, but here goes again!) Canadian leaving May 8 for St-Jean, aiming to do entire route and taking it at a mellow (will be newly retired) pace. Right now I’m focussed on my already sore feet but am looking forward to picking my head up and focusing on the horizon instead and having a Buen Camino.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I left SJPDP on May 17, 2019. My thought is you should be very aware of weather conditions on the day you cross over to Roncesvalles. If it's cold, rainy, windy, whatever, please consider starting on another day. The scenes are beautiful, but you won't see or appreciate them if the clouds are low and the cold rain is trickling down your neck. That was my experience and wholly my fault. Don't make my mistake. And enjoy the beginning of your retirement.

Thanks for that advice. I guess I’d have to suck up the paid reservations for Orisson and Roncesvalles if that happens!
