- Time of past OR future Camino
- I plan to walk the French Camino Way in April this year 2017
Hello everyone, I'm very excited to be planning my trip and have a few questions. Firstly about flights, I am traveling from Ireland and will be flying into Madrid on 12th April with Ryanair or Aerlingus and believe there are a few airports to choose from, which would be best for traveling on from? I also need to decide to fly back from either Santiago or Madrid - is it easy enough to travel to Madrid airport on a Sunday? Secondly and most importantly I would like to allow time to enjoy all the natural beauty and allow time for spontaneity where would you advice me to begin? Lastly (for now ;-) I'm a little concerned it's going to be very busy at this time and don't want to feel like I'm in competition to get a bed - I would also like to enjoy some tranquility on my journey as well as company along the way, any tips? If it is very touristy at this time I don't think I would enjoy it so much...what do you think? I am 50 years old this year, relatively fit but do plan on physically preparing for the challenge. Thanks for any advice
