  If you are competent at using trekking poles there really isn't a single part of any Camino to 'dread.' For those that don't use or like trekking poles, extra caution is needed in the wet as much of the soil in many parts are heavy clay...

  Walked the CF during lent this past March-April 2024. Experienced all seasons of weather with 30cm of snow leaving Rabinal del Camino to Foncebadon through Cruz de Fierro. Amazing journey. Had to take the road down to Molinaseca. Thank be to God...

  Hi Lawrence My old friend is walking right now and should be in Leon in about 4 days. He says there are not many pilgrims on the trail right now and he’s not booking albergues as there are so many free beds, he’s actually had three albergues...

  Michele. The Camino does provide. Companionship for me was probably the most important on my last year's debut. You will embrace your odyssey after taking your first tentative steps, enjoying each moment as they magically turn into hours, then...

  Hi Michelle The main part of the Camino is very different than starting in Sarria. You will probably meet more pilgrims in the final 100km than the rest of the Camino during October. There is an excitement that first morning leaving SJPDP along...

  The decent is extreme, in combining jagged ruts carved into the stone path compressing your feet between rocks while you are hiking down hill, which makes it a challenge even when the stone is dry or moist. When there is a rainstorm, the ruts...

  Hi wanieta The decent to zubiri in dry weather is very difficult last year I took a massive tumble and ripped open my forearm and elbow, luckily for me Fabian who I was walking with managed to catch my arm otherwise my head would have crashed...

  Michelle - you're going to absolutely smash it. All those fears and doubts are just a reflection of how much you care and how much it means to you to walk the Camino. You're going to meet unbelievable kind and open people who will only want to...

  Hi Michele! Great to hear that you're giving solo travel a try. It will be a different experience for sure. I'm 30, female and currently walking the Camino solo. I'm from Singapore and have 0 Spanish. I use Google translate liberally. There's...
