Hello everyone,
I've been wanting to do the Camino for about half a year now, I'm planning on doing it after I finish school and before I start university. I'd be 17 and a half - is age an issue?
Also, unless I take a gap year, which I'm not planning on because I'm a natural scholar, it would be impossible for me to walk in the Spanish summer. What's it like in october/november? Is the difference in temperature so great that the amount of clothes you have to wear an carry is a lot more? Are the albergues closed in the winter time? (It would be silly if they were.)
Other than that, what sort of budget do I have to have? From Australia to Spain is about $2000 AUD just for a return flight, how much money on average will I need for, say, 5 weeks?
Thanks in advance!
