Time of past OR future Camino
2013 CF then a few more. Plan May 24 Primitivo
Not for me to tell anyone what to do But if I hadnt read all advice here I would not have coped as well on my Caminos. Easy things. Dont expect cafe bars for morning or on many days any stops. This is difficult as you have many long stages and also no shade. You cant predict weather. I should have been starting 29th April expecting Spring. I had to bringforward my start and expected showers. It is very hot for me. I hear others who are not Irish liking the cool breeze! There wo t be as much company or choice of people to walk with. You need some Spanish. People are correcting me or telling me correct words.Iwish i learned more. There is not same spiritual religous culture. I will add more if anyone is definitely going to go. Any questions welcome. Had lovely Holy Thursday mass in con cathedral here in Merida last night. EARLY Easter is a vefy good time to be here.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
