I understand your sadness because I feel it too. That said, I wait in the USA to be eventually allowed back in your country to walk in relative freedom again... and without concern.My plan had been to travel from home near Seville to León yesterday and begin my camino today by bike from León to Astorga. Instead I'm out on the patio doing some essential bike maintenance. Feeling rather sad.
Sorry to hear @rafikiphoto. One day you'll get out there!
So very sorry to read of the loss of your wife and the postponement of your Camino in preparation for a new chapter of life for you.I share your disappointment. Today would have been my last day in Santiago after six weeks on the Camino Frances. It was supposed to mark the end of a chapter in my life, having just lost my dear wife and a new beginning. I am determined to go whenever we get the “all clear” and the infrastructure opens ip again - all in God’s time. I know many people have suffered far, far more than my cancelling my trek, so that helps me keep things in perspective. I hope you get to go soon.
I was scheduled to fly out today to begin my third Camino.My plan had been to travel from home near Seville to León yesterday and begin my camino today by bike from León to Astorga. Instead I'm out on the patio doing some essential bike maintenance. Feeling rather sad.
Thank you Lexi. I’m not the only one. I know there are many people who have planned for and dreamed of going on the Camino for years only to see their hopes dashed. This is so much more than the average holiday. It is truly a pilgrimage. When we all finally get to go I know how much more precious and worth it the Camino will be.I can’t imagine such a loss. I hope you get to do your Camino soon Michael and when you do that it brings you peace and gives you strength.
I was suppose to start on June 8th and am still in USA waiting for Spain to be able to walk as well...I understand your sadness because I feel it too. That said, I wait in the USA to be eventually allowed back in your country to walk in relative freedom again... and without concern.
If you do, make it the VdlP/Sanabres from Sevilla - a majestic ride. And you can interact with the walkers without feeling that you're often a nuisance.Being avid cyclist, I think I would like to bike at least a portion of a future Camino at some point.
That must be very disappointing, I'm sure your time will come soon. Maybe, by way of a small consolation and some pre-camino training, you might be able to walk or cycle on parts of the Camino Mozárabe within the area that you're permitted to move in. I know that won't be anywhere near the same, but it might help test the bike, the gear, the legs etc.My plan had been to travel from home near Seville to León yesterday and begin my camino today by bike from León to Astorga.

Hopefully you may be one of the first to get back on the Camino from Australia I can’t see anything happening this year. Mine was supposed to be Sept.My plan had been to travel from home near Seville to León yesterday and begin my camino today by bike from León to Astorga.

Today would have been the middle of my 5th Camino, arriving into Santiago on my birthday June 6th. Hey ho! It’s the strangest of times but lockdown is like a stationary Camino. Enjoy.My plan had been to travel from home near Seville to León yesterday and begin my camino today by bike from León to Astorga. Instead I'm out on the patio doing some essential bike maintenance.
