    Best 100KM route ( max 15 km per day -7/8 days max)

    ...be under 8 days, and each walking day should ideally be between 10-15 KM. The shorter walking distance is due to the fact that I am not in the best shape & don't want to hate the experience by overdoing. I will train for at least 6 months in advance, but I'm no athlete. The time of year will...

    Best Time of Year to Walk Madrid Camino

    Any thoughts most appreciated. I struck lucky with the VdlP last year (April) and managed perfect weather the whole way. No rain, not too hot. Dawn starts were about 9-10 C. Reaching 22-25C by mid afternoon. We certainly prefer warm rather than wet! I tease my wife that she is like a Cat...

    Best week or two weeks on the Frances?

    I am planning to walk parts of the Chemin du Puy and Camino Frances this summer (having done the Norte/Primitivo and Portugues), but I will not have time to do all of both.

    Best Albergue ever but it’s empty-hidden gem in Camino de Fisterra

    I’ve been the Albergue San Roque twice and it was amazing. The hospitality, cleanses, community food, donation based…all 12 out of 10, and it’s empty. No one’d like to walk in to check the availability because they don’t accept reservation?

    Best way to walk near unfenced cows/cattle

    Are there Spanish* phrases used when walking near cows? In America, you might hear "hey Bessie," or at least I think that's a thing! What soothing, friendly things might this practically city-slicker say while trying not to convey nervousness to the much larger animals? *And, on the Norte, I...
