- Time of past OR future Camino
- June 2017
Hi Fellow Pilgrims,
My daughter studied abroad in Santiago de Compostela last Spring, and we became fascinated with the Camino. She and I plan to walk it in June & July 2017. She will be 25 years old and I will be 60 years old next summer. I have knee problems and therefore, I am concerned about the two of us walking alone. So, I am looking for a tour company or group that we could join--therefore, if I had to drop out for any reason, she would be able to continue on the Camino. She plans to carry her backpack, but I hope to only carry a daypack and have my suitcase transported from place to place. Have any of you used the tour companies--were you happy with them, any suggestions about picking one, etc?
We are also looking for recommendations on what type of clothes to wear, what type of hiking shoes are the best, etc.
I think this would be an awesome bonding experience for the two of us and a "once in a lifetime" opportunity, so it is something that we both really want to do.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and for any advice. It would be greatly appreciated! May God bless all of you!
