I am planning to walk the Camino
Hi Claudette here from South Africa. My husband and I are planning to walk the Camino in June 2016. Any advice as to which route to take, which time is best to walk the Camino? How does the visas process work. as you can see I am a rookie at this. Any advice will be welcome.

Welcome Claudette! I am also from South Africa. Do you plan to walk the Camino Frances? How much time do you have to walk? If you do a search on the camino question section you will find a wealth of information. You can join the Confraternity of Saint James South Africa (email them on camino@csjofsa.za.org) they are most helpful and will send you letters that will assist you in your visa application. You are welcome to pm me.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
