Glad you are doing the Camino.

You will find lots of Camino Friends when you start the Camino.
Actually, you will find a walking partner the day before you start out.
Good luck.
Enjoy

Better to find one there...........not take your own untested one

It's like speed dating on steroids.........

You are far more likely to meet a compatible walking companion on the road.
And can exchange them if they don't work out

I can understand your feeling of wanting a walking partner but you really don't need to organise one ahead of time.
April on the Camino Frances is busy and you will find many walking partners - for as long as you want one! Look to stay at albergues that include a communal meal - that's always a great way to meet fellow pilgrims.
Buen Camino

I agree with the others. No need to pre plan a walking partner. You will find plenty of people to walk with, and you won't be "stuck" with someone that walks at a different pace, gets injured, or you get injured, or you just plain don't like!

I agree with the others. You will find plenty of companions especially if you stay in the auberges, I found it difficult to find someone walking at the same pace. I walk slowly but have good stamina. I could walk 40 kms per day with minimal breaks. I would have snacks and coffee along the way and wouldn't stop for a large lunch as many did. I had the pilgrims meal at night which I enjoyed sharing the company of fellow pilgrims. I walked with people who were taller than me one day. They walked so fast I couldn't keep up however they would stop for the night after 20kms. I met fellow pilgrims on route who were doing what I was doing. We would have coffee, conversations, dinner etc but not every night. Remember you are with this companion 24 hours a day. It is not like a 8 hour work day. I met pilgrims who had left very early in the morning to escape a pilgrim who had attached themselves to them.

Need a walking partner

I agree with the other comments... you don't "need" a walking partner, unless there are some special circumstances!
