@Albertagirl it is not a fait accompli that you will get Covid next Camino!
Many, many of us did not get Covid on our Caminos in 2021 &2022. Why? We stayed in private accommodations. We always wore good masks,such as N95s or KN95s indoors. We talked with others along the way, but kept circa 12’ distance. We ate outside as much as possible. Whenever we ate lunch indoors, we tried to eat as soon as lunch was served to miss the crowds. In addition, take a train, rather than a bus. If you can go comfort class, reserve a single seat. Wear Masks on planes leaving and returning to Canada.
We are walking again at the end of September and we will take precautions again.
I am following your progress with interest, as I plan on walking much of it in the fall, including the Vasco Interior, the Invierno, and the Frances between. It is only a couple of years since I walked the Invierno, but there seem to have been so many changes, particularly in accommodation. I have purchased a copy of Brierley's guide to the Invierno, but many of the changes which I have heard of seem to have been more recent. I suspect that I shall be able to find my way, but am more uncertain about accommodation, particularly as I shall be going through rather late in the fall. My main concern at the moment is getting covid, which appears to be common on pilgrim routes and unavoidable. I may stay in private accommodation as much as possible, but at present I cannot see how one can avoid covid on the pilgrim routes in Spain. I hope that the two of you are recovering well and enjoying your walk on the Invierno.
