    My 2 cents: Walking without plan is probably the best choice. However, if you come from Kyiv, perhaps the costs of accommodations and food in France will be high... from another hand, the main Camino in Spain (Camino Frances) seems to be...

    Hi everyone. My name is Nika. I plan to take my backpack, and go on Camino in the end of the next week. I still don’t know how will I get from Kyiv to France. And what city should I come to… I feel like I just want to run away and spend some...

    davejsy replied to the thread Pilgrimage - selfish?.
    The OP has a point. Getting to the Camino is going to be in some way detrimental to our planet - how much is just a guess. Walking past concrete buildings with screaming animals in as happened to me in Galicia should never fail to affect you...

    I want to say, I do understand your questioning and dilemma. We cannot exist in a vaccum and the Camino doesnt exist for us to escape from the difficulties and complexities of the world, and even the grief (my opinion, I realize others' may be...

    Day 11 It rained today steady for an hour, so we added our umbrellas to our rain gear. An hour doesn't sound like much of over 6 hours walking, but it is when navigating a variety of trails. The weather has been slowly getting warmer, so we...

    Day 10- We didn't leave our very nice lodging at Casa Blanco Conde in Laza until 9:00am this morning, and our walk was a very average 19.2k to Vilar de Barrio. The first portion is mostly uphill and was on quite a bit of stone shale and scree...

    Day 9- (part 2) We walked through a couple of very small villages and I am always intrigued by quirky, stone properties in ruins through the passing of time and neglect. We had a couple of nice views of the new AVE train bridge and even saw a...

    Day 9- We went from Campobecerros to Laza today. It was a shorter day at 14.4k and still kind of coldish, but intermittent light rain would come and go with periods of sunshine to warm us up. Best of all, no fog got in the way of looking around...

    Day 10 - Comillas to San Vincente Short day today. Wonderful views of both the beaches and the mountains. My heal is acting up a little bit, and remembering how bad it got on the Portuguese last year I will have to pay attention. Rolling and...
