Time of past OR future Camino
Planning on startting first time at e d of april start of may
Having just walked from sjpdp to logrono, i understand the advice about booking rooms etc and certain route distances, however having just arrived home in the last two days i regret

1) not properly taking everything in properly i.e the scenery and taking more pics than i actually did etc as i was too busy head down and walking
And
2) not swapping contact details with a lot of the people i met along the way too keep in touch and hear how they got on

Buen camino
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Buenos Dias Antomuchacho - think about all the good experiences and memories too, not the regrets. Although... it sounds like your Camino is not over... unfinished wishes, business and searching? Good luck. Love Light & Nature, Keith
 
It is, of course, a rather singular experience to have walked along this Way and to be reminded of how to “walk” through each day back home, as a continuing Camino. Your comment is a good reminder for me to keep my head up, eyes, heart and mind open each day, to be in awareness and wonder of what’s around me and to value the people and experiences, pleasurable or difficult, that come my way. Thank you. Ultreia!
 
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
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.
