lex4 said:and not carrying my pack. Will I be excluded and looked down on by 'proper' pilgrims? I hope not, I would love to enjoy the atmosphere and spirit of the walk but this is all new to me and I'm not confident about staying in albergues and managing pack and heat etc...any thoughts?
Kiwiangela said:I am on the camino at the moment. I have stayed in hotels or pensions every night and have had my bag transported every day. I had the same apprehensions about being judged, but I have not experienced judgement from anyone. I am surprised at the number of people who are staying in private accommodation and having their bags transported. Many, many people, some have done it all the way from SJPDP. So don't worry, it is your camino
Olivares said:Along the various routes on the Camino de Santiago, many churches and albergues used to provide the pilgrims with help to carry/transport their baggage on to the next stop. Since many pilgrims used to walk the way BACK, they would help pilgrims on their return trip as well. Likewise, pilgrims with means would be frown upon if they took a bed on one of the church shelters (albergues).
Walk your Camino. Whoever judges pilgrims who stay at private accomodations and transport baggage lacks knowledge on the Camino's history.....really.

Given the current economic situation in Spain, pilgrims transporting and staying at hotels are a BLESSING!!

I plan to be flexible but will most likely be staying at hotels etc.... so thanks for the comments..... I wish my mind to be free of the judgements of others..... doing my own thing helps me ....
I hope to NOt book ahead after Orisson ... but just to stay in hotels I come across as days pass... hoping that works... I will not sleep at all if I am in a crowded room
Do most people find they have to book ahead.... ? I want to walk at my own pace each day so do not know where i will be each day.. so would rather not book ahead to far
