    First Camino Frances - Starting 2nd week Oct. Fall advice please!

    thank you for engaging with all my questions! I guess it's not the hottest year on record like last summer :P so I know you're right about taking it as it comes- just wondering if there's any gear I can get away with not taking but it sounds like I need clothing for wet and cold for sure...

    Non-Camino walk with short, easy stages?

    I did some lovely walks in western Sicily - Zingaro, Monte Cofino, Erice to Trapani and around the island of Levanzo off the coast of Trapani. I flew into Palermo and discovered the amazing Palazzo de Butera. I booked it through an Italy based company that specialized in walking tours (car...

    Albergue in Canfranc is closed

    The donativo albergue in Canfranc is not closing for good. They closed a month earlier than foreseen, on 28 September 2024 instead of 30 October 2024. This has apparently been decided because of the mudslides on the French side of the Somport pass due to recent bad weather. There are threads...

    Camino Primitivo in October -- feedback requested

    It seems incredible that mere humans can walk 18 miles everyday...how is it that your feet and body don't get injured or worn out?

    A first timer

    Hi Nina, I have walked on the section between Santillana Del Mar and Baamonde, which is where the del Norte approaches the Frances route. It IS a beautiful camino and I also walked in October (2021). Keeping in mind that Covid 19 may have depressed the numbers, it was not overly crowded, or...

    October Camino - shorts?

    My wife and I splurged on Fjallraven hiking shorts and pants. Each time we hiked Camino Frances (4 times) from mid-September to late October, we alternated between shorts and pants and this worked well for us. Never know what the weather will be like, but hiking in shorts in sun or rain was...

    Minimum age for children to walk on 800km Camino Frances

    I know the weather can change but I started 1 year, from SJPD or Roncesvalle on Sept 27, thinking I would have cooler weather. Wrong!! It was very very hot. Mid Oct it began to get better but still very hot. You may want to google average monthly temperatures for some of the cities along the...

    Questions regarding Ponferrada to O Cebreiro

    When I arrived in Villafranco del Bierzo, it was really too early for me to stop for the day. So after a nice lunch in the town square, I hiked on to Trabadeo (only 10 km). And even though parts of that section were along the highway, it wasn’t a bad walk at all. Trabadelo was a nice village to...

    LIVE from the Camino They are recommending the Valcarlos route tomorrow, how foolish would it be to go Napoleon?

    Thank you for sharing your experience. There is no authority in Spain or France that closes the pass of the Napoleon route during April to October. This myth makes people wrongly believe that they will be fine “when the pass is open”. It creates a wrong sense of security and safety. The pass is...

    Camino del Norte

    We hiked Del Norte last Fall. Started in Irun Sept 30 and ended Santiago Nov.10. In October we noticed that most Albergues were closed. It didn't affect us because we prebooked boutique hotels and B and B's all the way. Last year it was in the 80's for our first few weeks. So the 40 - 60 degree...

    Camino Inglés in October

    Hello everyone! I’m preparing my next Camino, the Camino Inglês. It’s my sixth Camino, so I have a bit of experience, however it’s going to in mid October, which is a time of the year when I usually don’t walk on Caminos. I have a few questions for you : • what kind of weather do I need to...

    Irún to Bilbao in March or October or wait for another window?

    Hola a todos. I currently have two windows to do the Irún to Bilbao section of the Camino del Norte, in mid-March and mid-October with 7 walking days. It's a stretch that I really would like to do as I have friends in Bilbao. I've heard the weather can be pretty bad in both and it could be...

    2nd camino in October 2024 - del Norte or Frances? General questions

    Just my opinion... I like the beach/coast. The Norte is my favorite Camino. Other than the scenery, it is cool because it is less crowded than the Frances but there are still other walkers around. My favorite aspect of any trek is the people I meet... watch me get ripped for this one but the...

    Performance Fabrics - Truth or Myth?

    As an experienced New England hiker, I have to disagree. Any time you go above 4000', you need to be prepared for cold weather any time of the year. That happens 3 times on the Frances: Pyrenees, Foncebadon-El Acebo, and O Cebreiro-Fonfria. When we walked through O Cebreiro (full disclosure...

    From Sarria to Santiago - safety tips and tricks in December

    I finished Camino Ingles (similar route length of Sarria to Santiago) October 31. It rained every day. Yes, there were still pilgrims. People walk Camino at all times of year and in all sorts of weather - there was snow at Cruz de Ferro 6 days ago. We don't usually get to choose the weather...

    Camino Verde trail conditions?

    Perhaps wait until you are in Lugo to decide. The weather would be a major factor for me. More pilgrims will have walked it by then- it’s becoming better known- and hopefully one or two will have written about it on here
