    Is it possible to walk the camino primitivo as a vegetarian?

    Overthinking this thing.

    Right on. Yes. The Camino provides. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you 🙏🏽 I've done parts of both, but in July. It was 106 F in Pamplona!

    Would you suggest the Frances or Norte in October? Thank you.

    Suggest a route

    That's a possibility. I like a few days to get on local time and relax before walking and I try not to "double back" to reduce my carbon footprint, but that it a possibility. I'm curious from people who have walked in October and early November how much rain they experienced and how cold the...

    Suggest a route

    Hello travelers. I am looking for route advice. I previously walked the first few days of the Frances, then went to the Norte, then rejoined the Frances in Leon and walked to Santiago. This was late June through July 2019. I have free time starting around Sept 15 and I was thinking of walking...

    Feeling alone and anxious

    Everything you need can be found along the route. It's totally normal to feel anxious, frustrated, and alone. You are in a foreign country far from home. Something inside of you wanted to do this, and now you are there. I hope you can breathe into it and find your groove and have an amazing time.

    Portugal's New Housing Law and its effect on hostels

    Thanks for sharing. I'm not surprised because when I was there in 2019 Portugal seemed like the best place in the world and now everyone wants to live there.

    Help with shoes!

    I'm so sorry you are having this issue. I spent a lot of time trying out shoes before I left and never found any that were great. I settled on a Saucony pair that had a name like Pellegrino because it sounded like pilgrim and I took that as a good sign. On day one walking over the Pyrenees, I...

    Using Trekking Poles

    I did and I loved them. I bought a pair at REI before my trip and used them for a month, then I found the same pair though a store in Spain and had them mailed to a post office there for me to pick up. I was so happy to have them. My arms did not get tired and for me the poles helped with having...

    Coffee in the Morning?

    Absolutely. There would be a quarter of the walkers on the Camino without coffee. 😉

    Any advice for when you want to quit?

    Can you spend a few nights in a private room in Leon? You will feel better with sleep and rest.
  15. VeganCamino

    Any advice for when you want to quit?

    I feel for you because I wanted to quit so many times. I think if you are feeling torn between finishing and quitting that you will feel better a month from now if you look back and know you did finish. But if the heat and environment are really getting to you, of course take care of yourself.

    Am I packing too much?

    That seems like a very modest and well thought out list. You may want one more bra and one more pair of socks. I regretted not having one more of each myself. Is the sleeping bag a sac for the albergues? Does your pack feel comfortable? Looks like a good list overall and not any fluff to remove.

    Hiking poles in Porto, Portugal

    Ha ha ha. I too made that walk years ago. 😉

    If at first you don't succeed, try-try again and again, and again....

    Amazing! I love that you are returning again and again. At age 84, you are having your Uranus return in astrology. Uranus is the planet of surprise and the unexpected. Sometimes when we do brave and bold things, as you are doing, we live into our Uranus in a way that makes this transit easier...

    LIVE from the Camino FRANCÉS: Flies, spiders, isolation & roommates: not what I expected!

    I'm so sorry. Please do not lose hope. I feel you. I walked the Camino in 2019 and my Camino was hard. It was hard until it wasn't and now, with time, my memory of it has faded and I want to do it again. You don't know what tomorrow will bring. The full moon is coming and with it lots of energy...
