Hi, My husband and I and our little girl (she will be 1.5 years old at the time of walking the camino) are thinking of walking to camino in mid May/mid June 2017. We love to hike and she loves being in the hiking carrier now but might be a bit different as a toddler! We are planning to take...

We are planning to walk El Camino Frances June - July 2017. Any suggestions from anyone who has done this with their children? Can't wait!

At age 53, Fritz Nordengren walked 620 miles in 40 days. Beginning at the base of the Pyrenees Mountains in France, he walked in the centuries-old footsteps of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. - The Way of Saint James. When he reached the Cathedral in Santiago, he continued to the “end of the...

Ola peregrinos! We plan to walk camino portugues from Porto this August with my husband and 11-months old son. We wonder if anybody had done the same with a small child. It would be VERY helpful to get some tips and recommendations according to accomodation, food etc. With a child it is a...

This week's heat is throwing our plans a bit - which is fine -but I wanted some insight into what we are up against so that we can create a 'backup plan'. We are arriving to SJPDP on the hottest day this week - which is predicted to be 101 degrees and we have Orisson booked for the following...

Hola! Well we are booked and preparing for our first Camino in September this year. We are doing the Camino Frances from Sarria to Santiago and we are bringing my 3 yr old along. We've decided to bring a hiking buggy to use to push my son but are not sure if our normal pram ( a jogger with 3...

Super excited that my dream of taking five of my six children on the Camino is finally here! We will be leaving the first two weeks of August and actually will stay and travel around Europe for four months total . I have in the past few years walked the Frances, Finesterre, Muxia...then the...

Hi planning to walk Porto to Santiago with my 9yr old son. It this doable? Anyone who has done it with a child? What should we consider for this trip? Thanks

Hi - I very much want to do a leg of the Camino with my son this year. We are hoping to travel in Sept. He will be 3.5 yrs old then, weighing approx 17kgs. I am wondering if anyone can give me some advice in which route would best suit us? I will be travelling alone with him and plan on carrying...

Hi all. We are starting from Ferrol on Sunday March 20th. We have two children aged 9 and 14 and was hoping because of this to stay in pre-booked accommodation. However as it is the Easter holidays, many hotels etc seemed to fully booked. Will the Albergues be open at this time of year and is...

Quick "Hello"! I just joined the forum even though I have been reading for years. We are a family of 4 (9 and 10) and planning to do the first 2 weeks of the Camino Frances this July starting in SJPDP. I had grand plans to pull the kids out of school last year and do the entire route, but...

Hello. I'm planning to walk in this summer,but I have got one question. Is it possible to live in albergues if you alone and you under 18?

Hi, We are doing our first camino pilgrimage in late August. My husband and I (mid 50's) and 5 or 6 of our 7 children (ages 12, 14, 17, 18 and 24 and maybe the 28 year old) are going to walk the Camino Ingles starting in Ferrol. We ultimately would like to walk the camino Frances but some of...

Hi. My husband and I and 5 or 6 of our children (ages 12 to 28) are walking the Camino Ingles at the end of August 2016. We fly into Coruna and have booked accommodations for 2 days in Ferrol to get over our jet lag (we are coming from Canada). Then we want to walk over 6 days but everything...

Hi, I'm cycling Frances the end of June - my Wife & 2 Girls are meeting me in Santiago. Plans are already made, accommodation is booked for us all to continue Santiago to finisterre on foot. Now I'm starting to question these plans - would Sarria to Santiago be more suitable? I had split the...

Hi all, My name is Noel and my son is Nico, we are 43 and 9 respectively and looking at walking the Camino Frances in the coming months. Any advice would be more than welcome, especially in regards to camping enabling us to reduce costs as I assume that my son would still need to pay for staying...

Hi, my son TJ and I are heading back to "finish" April 18-28, 2016. He'll be 12.

My daughter is keen to walk the Camino with me in October this year. She is 13 years old and I am just wondering if other teenagers complete the walk or will it be too much for her? She is a walker and a keen geocacher, so she is accustomed to walking in all types of weather etc. This will...

Hi All, My family and I, including kids aged 11 and 9 are wanting to walk for a week in April. We are wondering is Sarria to Santiago a good section to do or perhaps the Pyrenees St Jean Pied de Port to Pamplona? We are hoping for about a week's walking and really want to feel the spirit of the...
