    Absolutely terrified to start

    Hi Maryelle, I walked the Camino Francés by myself last year too, and I was in a similar mindset and mental space as you are now. When I first stepped outside the albergue at SJPDP, I froze and stood there for about 10 minutes, completely terrified. But trust me, as the days go by, you'll...

    Sleeping bag for shorties recommendation

    I'm looking to buy a sleeping bag for my next Camino, but since I'm only 1.5m tall (5 feet), I’d prefer not to go with a standard-sized one. I don't want to feel like I’m swimming in it, and the extra 30cm of unused space just adds unnecessary weight. On my last Camino, which was during the peak...

    Christmas Camino

    I’ve never did the Camino Português, so I don’t know about hostels and albergues. But I lived in Lisbon for 5 years and I know from personal experience finding something open on Christmas Day was always a challenge. Christmas is a big deal for the Portuguese and it’s considered a family day. I...

    Are you ready for another round of "I can't find a bed"

    Of course I’m a first timer starting the Camino Frances on September 1st. I really thought July- August would be the busiest months and I was really confident about finding beds until I saw this post and now I’m starting to worry about it a little bit. What would you say is the the recommended...

    My first Camino starts in a week!

    Thank you! Indeed, it’s almost 40°C in Madrid right now, I think delaying it a bit was a smart choice you made. But luckily the forecast is starting to look better for the next couple of weeks. Buen camino!

    Hi all! Just wanted to introduce myself. I’m Camilla, a brazilian living in Spain. I’ll be starting my first Camino from SJPP on September 1st and I can barely wait. I read a lot during the past few weeks - mostly here on the forums, and tried to soak as much information as I could, so thank you...
