Hi Guys. I plan to walk the Camino (811km) next spring. I need suggestions from pilgrims who have walked and are still walking the Camino this April. How was the weather? Did you have too many rainy days? I am now thinking of setting off early instead of May. I am thinking of the start of April...
Hi everyone. I know that Camino Frances is mostly done in 33 days but I have 45 days to complete the walk next summer. I would really appreciate it if pilgrims who have completed the full walk can suggest cities or towns along the route where I can spend more time exploring. I am into...
I am a female in late 40s and weigh 125 pounds and am 5 feet tall. I have been reading so much about backpacks on this site and am still undecided as to which one to buy. I am short and do not want to invest in a lightweight backpack without going to the store and trying them. A few seem to...
Can someone suggest how light was your backpack? I am thinking of not exceeding 3 kg. Is that possible? I would love to hear from those who had travelled with around that weight. I am not getting any company to carry by baggage for me as that defeats the purpose of going on the pilgrim.
Hi Guys. This question is related to Camino Frances. I will be walking the full distance next spring. How much cash do I bring along on my camino? I will be bringing along my credit card but have heard so many pilgrims say that the hostels only accept cash. It doesn't make sense to bring along...
Hi Guys! I am in my late 40s and have a weak bladder. I know how important it is to hydrate myself while on the Camino. However, I am terrified of feeling the urge to pee regularly while on the Camino. Is there anyone else who faced a similar situation? How did you handle it when there was no...
Hey wonderful people. I am walking on the Camino for the first time in May 2025. I love Brierley's maps as they clearly outline the different routes available and the paths the pilgrim can take to avoid the traffic and the main roads. The pilgrim's route is marked in yellow dots and the scenic...
Hey Guys! I am reading Brierley's book and he mentions that it is essential to bring along a sleeping bag. I am wondering if it is really necessary to bring along a sleeping bag. If i am going to be staying in hostels all the way, why the need for one? Brierley mentions that our baggage should...
Hi Everyone. I am planning on going on my Camino in May 2025. I am a single woman in her 40s. I intend to do the entire 800 km. My question is this: Is May a good time to travel on the Camino? Also, will I meet a lot of fellow travellers at that time of the year?
