    Frances or change of plan?

    Hi, my first post after following for some time. I arrive in Santander on Wednesday and planned to bus to Burgos to pick up from where I ended earlier this year.

    Suggested route for late Oct-early Nov.

    Unexpectedly, I might be able to go on my fourth camino, God willing, the last week in October to the first week in November of this year. Needless to say, my training will be the camino itself. At first I thought I will do the Salvador and come home but my hubby said go for 2 weeks. I need to...

    Since 2015 I walked on a Camino practically each year (la Plata, Norte, Primitivo, Salvador, Le Puy, Frances to Burgos). This year in May I had kneeproblems and had to stop my camino, the problems lasted a month of 3, now I still feel the cause of the problem is still there. I don't want to...

    Hello pilgrims, I have finished the Le Puy route and crossed into Spain on the Frances. I am currently in Pamplona and I am looking at options to come off onto a different route.

    Coastal Vs Central Camino?

    I’m still trying to get good info of coast vs central caminos (and have read the other threads which don’t fully answer my question)… It seems the central Camino goes through more industrial areas, and is more along roads, but is more full of historical towns, and also busier… while the coastal...

    Do I switch routes??

    My bf and I are currently walking the northern route and silly me didn't realize we'd have so many problems getting accommodation. The bed race doesn't even exist, it far beyond. I'm really worried I won't find anything this weekend and wonder if I should switch to the Frances?? This is my 5th...

    About Face!

    My heart wants to do the Primitivo but my body thinks the Frances from Leon is a better choice. Is it possible to start the Primitivo and if it proves too much to get transportation to Leon to restart? I feel pathetic even asking, but just trying to think through all my options. For a little...
