Hi all,
A few day before setting off for four weeks of walking, no official camino this year, but two long distance paths on the Balear Island in the Mediteranean. Both with a lot of history, nature and long and winding roads.
I choose these as I wanted something different, a bit more raw nature and also solitude. I'm doing it differently too, I've booked the whole thing and I have luggage transfer too. Why? I'm coming off a long period of work, slightly overworked, and just didn't have the mental bandwith to organise it myself. And I know myself, I get overwhelmed by choices and uncertainty and will just be anxiously standing still. Also knowing myself, I know I need to move, so I booked it. And now I am happy and looking forward to it all. So, yay!
Currently staring at my packing list, and going back and forth over lots of things. At the moment it's still over 25 degrees C on the islands, but things can change quickly. What to bring? What kind of shoes?
Has anyone been there in october/november and have any suggestions as to what to expect? Snow in the Tramuntana? Tips on where to go and stay between the trips? Must do's? Things to forget?
Thanks all, if anyone is interested I can do some updates / trip reports along the way.
Buen camino!
