- French Camino (April-May 2017)
Hello, my name is Michele (= Mike) and I'm Italian, now living in Brittany (NW France).
After quite a bit of thinking, reading (and worrying), I booked a night car to Bayonne on 4 April, and a bed at a private albergue in SJPdP for the following night (5-6 April).
I see that the Route Napoléon may be closed and may be snowy anyway, which would make the Valcarlos variant an almost compulsory choice for me. I do like walking but have never done any long-distance hiking. I am not very fit but think/hope I can do the whole Camino at my pace.
I have read many threads on this forum, but I thought I'd start a new one to gather any useful insight or suggestions you would like to share with me.
Since I am going to walk the Camino with a religious purpose, alongside with a personal one, I wonder how/when I will be able to attend Holy Week and Easter services (considering that pilgrims usually leave early in the morning).
Any practical advice or experience will be very welcome.
Thank you!
