    If you had 45-49 days for the Camino Frances, how would you spend it?

    Great and valuable advice!

    If you had 45-49 days for the Camino Frances, how would you spend it?

    45 days to plan between SJPP and Finisterre? Its indeed a very subjective Project Planning! And, if I might add: A wonderful project with lots of one of the mains resources (usually scarce for most pilgrims) — time— available (the other major resource is, of course, money). Personally, and...

    Which route in January

    I love this "winter walking" topic so much that I just feel compelled to give my two cents. With internet being present virtually around 100% of your Camino nowadays, it makes a low season walking a piece of cake! The best months I have walked were BY FAR NOV-DEC and late FEB-APR. Yes, you do...

    The Solution to Toilet Paper for the Camino/Outdoors Anywhere!

    As much as I appreciate seeing new and innovative ways to answer questions that already have answers for, I believe that if "people"cannot understand the common sense and easiness of just just "picking up and carrying their own waste" ( at least burying your No 2's and carrying you TP with you)...

    Alternative Route - Camino Frances

    As a matter of fact, the Camino Aragones is much longer than the "equivalent correlation" stretch on the Camino Frances: SJJPP - Puente la Reina = 93km* Somport - Puente la Reina = 160km* *given or taken... It's a LOVELY camino! Some looooong streches between villages here and there but a...

    Walking in November

    November/DEcember was one of the most amazing caminos I walked. End of Autumn is just lovely! You shouldn't find any problems finding accommodation... Weather-wise. Not too cold, and not as wet as end of winter. I'll most definitely do another late autumn camino!! :-)

    Favorite Pictures of Animals on your Camino

    I have several (provably hundreds) of pictures taken from animals on different Caminos but... This is one of my favourites! Animals just living their lives, not repressing their wants and needs!

    Bedbugs

    I'm so envy of people that do not encounter bedbugs... And people that apparently have something on their bloodstream that make bedbugs not want to bite them! During all the Caminos I've walked, the ONLY one that I did not meet bedbugs and was not bitten was the first one, 17 years ago...

    Camiño Frances in 20 days

    Hey @Jose Neto just another two cents for you to not limit all your options: there is no such a thing as a "whole camino"... The start SJPP is merely a convention that became over hyped due to books, movies, etc... The Caminos come from way before these more known "starting points"... Before...

    One of the best video blogs I have seen!

    I've watched all of them.... My feelings towards this are on a bit of a duality here! The photography is amazing and brings back a lot of good memories from a different perspective! But, I have also to agree with criticisms on the Drone! Maybe this is going way too far! :eek::D:p The final...

    Camiño Frances in 20 days

    Hi @Jose Neto ! I take from your Shirt that you are a Brazilian sufferer (Fluminense's supporter!) am I right?? ;):D:p I'm a brazilian myself and I can tell that 20 days (if you are fit) is very feasible! I know everyone has a different opinion on if you actually should as "this would be...

    Camino Finisterre/Muxia - Late November 2017

    Hey Raymond! As Already mentioned, this is completely doable... No road blocks!! Last year I arrived in Santiago around dec 21st, and headed to Finister the following day. There was no problems whatsoever apart from the expected lack of choices to sleep: deep in winter, as soon as you enter...

    Col du Somport in October?

    I crossed the Col du Somport end of november last year... It was one of the most gorgeous days of my entire life! The sun was up, and also was the moon! Snow in the peaks above but not even close to the paths... It was a lovely, beautiful journey that day! I guess in october, as mentioned...

    Ethical question in the Albergue

    I would say it was probably crazy Sinim walking back from Elvis bar and stopping by to ask for spare cigarettes :D:D Jokes aside, I guess I'd probably have done the same as you did... We never know... Vagner

    Is carrying your own backpack a thing of the past?

    Hi everyone; Sorry I didnt had the time to read all the comments for the thread. I`m trying to come back to the forum slow and steady but with all the things going on here in "real life" Florida, it`s being hard to keep up. That said, I`m not sure if someone has already said the same thing ( if...

    Three weeks from Pamplona?

    YEs, You can do it.... I have twice averaged Pamplona-Santiago in 20 days without any "I need to" plans.... It just happened... I`m not sure this would be true while in the august heat though... Things are much harder during summer time... Lots of feet problems that just wont go away ( at...

    I`m [was] Off again!! [now back with some narrative...]

    Hi everyone! I'm overwhelmed to think that it's already been 6 months since I have started my last Camino, back in nov 2016. Most of you might understand that every time we come back, sometimes it takes us a considerable period of time for you to be able to sit down, and really talk about (or...
