Hi C.C.,I’m a 67 woman, walked alone May 2018. No problem
Hi SabineP,Hi SabineP
thank you again for sharing your experience with me.. I will look it up now..
Hi I am going to walk the camino ingles beginning of September. How safe is it and busy is it? I am not looking forward to the masses of the Frances, but I would like to find other pilgrims on the way.. any advice?
Hi C.C.,
Thank you for the reassurance.
In your walking did you also meet few pilgrims,?
Sorry read it again.. and now I get it.My wife and me will start ouer Camino on september 9th I am going to run from neda to pontendeume my wife will continue walking or continue by taxi.
You more than welcome to join us.
I would certainly like to be walking with other pilgrims... So keep me posted..Sorry read it again.. and now I get it.
. You are starting in ferrol too.. and just from neda to pontedeume you will run that part ..
We start ouer walk on the 10th. Sorry .Hi,
Thank you for your post!!
I am starting my in ferrol on the 9th morning..I will be stopping at neda and next day to pontedeume and so on.. I may be following your footsteps...
No worries we may meet in santiago, you never know..We start ouer walk on the 10th. Sorry .
I walked from A Coruna in early July. There were few others until we met the pilgrims coming from Ferrol in Bruma, and then there were small but reliable numbers. You'll meet others in albergues, but compared to the Frances it's MUCH less crowded.
And FWIW, I'm a 60+ YO female and never felt the least uncomfortable.
I haven't walked the Portugues, but given pilgrim arrival numbers, I would guess the Ingles has many fewer pilgrims. Hopefully others who have recenty walked both can give you a more accurate sense of that.I will be happy if it is like that!!
I get the sense is a quieter Camino.I haven't walked the Portugues, but given pilgrim arrival numbers, I would guess the Ingles has many fewer pilgrims. Hopefully others who have recenty walked both can give you a more accurate sense of that.
Just walk.I would welcome any advice or comment
Thank you,Just walk.
There are places to stay and places to eat, and hills and valleys to walk over and through.
IOW, just another camino. Not to worry.
Thank you for mentioning that, @Pelegrin . I guess I thought sometime the "ñ" just wasn't used, I didn't realize that was the Galego version. I always try to use the Galician place names (firmly in camp Sanxenxo!), so thanks again for clarifying!
Hi I walked the Camino Ingles in June. I am 56 solo woman walker and had no problems. I never felt unsafe at all, met lots of people, groups, couples and walked with other solo men and women. I stayed in small hotels, casa rurales and hostals as i like having my own space at night. I carried my 24L Osprey Sirrus and had plenty of space for anything I needed. The Camino Ingles was my first Camino and I did enjoy it however there is a lot of road walking and it felt a little too suburban for me. When I arrived in Santiago, I had arranged to stay two nights and was delighted that I did as I really LOVED Santiago. Then I walked to Finesterre, Lira and finished in Muxia. I really loved this camino to the Costa del Morte; a very special morning leaving Santiago, into the countryside so quickly and looking back at the spires of the Cathedral. Again on this Camino, I felt very safe as a solo woman, didn't meet as many people but there was always someone to talk to if you wished to. I was really pleased with almost all of the accommodation I stayed in and can post details if anybody else wants them.
