Return Route

Hello, I walked the Camino Frances in 2007 and, having now had a long rest, would now like to do the return walk this September. I intend to stay, if possible, in the same albergues making use of the credencial I received in 2007. Has anyone encountered any problems doing the same? Thanks, John.
 
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.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
John - I spoke to a pilgrim yesterday who had done this very thing with no problems - but watch the time of year you are going as albegfues when they are full are likely to give preference to pilgrims walking forward to Santiago.
 
Hallo

Last time we were in Melide, we spoke to a pilgrim who was re-tracing his steps back and he told us that it was possible to stay at the albergues.

Regards
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
