Hi and welcome to the forum @Lucasdeval
Even if you don't find anybody here, English tends to be the lingua franca on the Camino and you will have a lot of possibilities to practise it. Buen Camino, SY

Lucasdeval.....what a pity as i will riding the Camino , but from Malaga to hopefully Santiago sometime next March .
I lived in France for a number of years and am always looking to keep up my French language skills ( or lack of them ) . A good way , as i found earlier this year on the Sanabres route with a French guy ,was for us to both speak in the other persons language , then we both benefit
Anyway i hope you find someone to help you .

I have found, over five Caminos, that English appears to be the unofficial second language along the Camino. Most, but not all, pilgrims have at least a little English. If you speak even a little English, you will be able to use it.

Chances are you will end up walking with one or more pilgrims, your "Camino family." Most likely, one or more of these folks will be a fluent English speaker.

Worry not. The Camino provides...

I hope this helps.

Hi John !
Yes what a pity !... But it's possible I will continue the Camino from Burgos next year, and a french friend girl of mine (Monique 65 years old)who lives near Malaga will start Camino from there, I think...
Thanks for all and see you later.
