I am in Austin and leaving on April 25 to walk the camino de Sanabre starting in Puebla de Sanabria. Would be very interested in meeting anyone who has done this route especially at that time of year.Re: Texas Pilgrims?
I'm co-coordinator of the American Pilgrims on the Camino - Texas Gulf Coast Chapter. We're in Houston but sometimes we get folks from Central Texas and Corpus Christi at our events.
We started meeting about 1 1/2 years ago. We have quarterly events and generally have 30-35 people at each event. Fun stuff like hikes, happy hours or potlucks. It's a really good group of people and a great way for 'pilgrims in training' to meet experienced folks and ask lots of questions.
If you are interested in getting on our invite list, send me a PM. We have a Happy Hour scheduled for July 30 at 1252 Tapas Bar in Uptown Park. Please join us if you are in town.
I also know some people in San Antonio who are contemplating forming a Central Texas Chapter (San Antonio/Austin). If you are interested, send me you contact information and I will pass it on.
Re: Texas Pilgrims?
My wife and I walked the Camino in 2012. I walked from St. Jean and she joined me in Sarria. I live in Longview, Texas and there is another gentleman from Longview who walked the Camino this year. There are also a father and son from the Dallas area that walked the Camino at the same time that I did in June of 2012. I also walked with a mother-son couple from Marble Falls. If we can be of help let us know.

I walked the last 1/3 in 2010 (from Astorga) & was living on Austin at the time (now live in NM). Would be glad to share experience. Email me at dustylee@sprynet.com if you want.

Hello! I just finished the Camino Frances on June 12th. I'm so excited for you! I'm in Austin and I've been looking for a past and future pilgrims group here, but there isn't one. Personally, I wanted the most organic experience possible, so besides a plane ticket, I only made one reservation in 32 days and just really relied on the magic the camino provides. I'd be happy to share my experience, help you figure out what to pack or answer any questions. It will change your life! Especially before entering 'the real world'.I'm 21 and from Central Texas and have never walked the camino. I plan on beginning in March 2014 after completing my associates degree.

What a beautiful photo! I'm so happy that you're taking their advice, whoever they are! I guess I should start planning for 2018.I live in Texas now (Mid-cities in the DFW area). I am German and did the hike in September/October of 2009 from SJPDP all the way to Fistera and Muxia. I have lots of photos and wonderful stories.
They say you should hike the Camino three times in your life every 5-7 years. I will be hiking again next year in May 2014 once the semester is over.

Hi Susan...looking at your beautiful pictures inspires me more. I'm trying to do el camino in about 1 or 2 years from now. Will start training in a few weeks. Since I'm diabetic how many miles can a bathroom be found or just go around a rock? BlessingsHere are some photos - looking through my almost 1000 pictures gets me all excited for 2014 ... Hope we can meet and share pictures, videos and talk about the Camino

Hola!
I walked from SJPP to Santiago this past sept/oct '12...taking 35 days to make the journey. It was an amazing experience. If you'd like to chat or communicate about the Camino, please PM me and I'll be happy to share my experience with you. I'm not in your age group, but I might be of help in answering questions. .
Buen Camino!

I would love to visit... I have been introduced to several others recently who have completed it in the last year.Hey Brenda! I am leaving April 7th. I live on North Padre. Maybe we could get together?
Awesome! I am leaving town Friday for two weeks, but we could possibly meet for lunch or coffee after I return on March 12th. Are the individuals you've met in Corpus? It would be AWESOME to meet someone who has already walked. I look forward to meeting you!I would love to visit...

Just found this. We're from near Austin and are planning our Camino for late April-May. Trying desperately to get in shape for it and would love to meet up with other Central Texans.Are any Austinites interested in meeting up for a hike sometime? I just got back a few weeks ago, and I am missing the walking and camaraderie.

We've met tons of Texans on the camino this summer, and a Classical guitarist from Corpus Christi is playing two weeks of concerts real soon for Camino Artes series in Carrion de los Condes, Villacazar, Fromista, and Moratinos.
Y'all come!
