winter

Hey all, first and foremost any feedback/advice is VERY welcomed! I have decided to start my Camino in Porto and am allowing myself 15 days to reach Santiago. I have lots of questions though! I know the weather will be colder (but I am from MN so I am not bothered by it) and it looks like the...

Dear fellow pilgrims; As some of you know, I'm heading for the Camino Aragones, Frances and Finisterra in November/December. I'd like to have some recommendations from the Boot Lovers (only) out there. This is not another "trainner vs boots" thread. I won't change my mind regarding the use of...

Hi Everyone! Sorry if my thread seems bizarre or even ridiculous! But, being a holy year and with all the threads about lack of beds, tsunami-waves of pilgrims and even the "900 kept in SJPP" :); I`m starting to have second thoughts about going for the Camino Frances next winter. The current...

Hey there fellow pilgrims! I have some wondering questions to the experienced pilgrims in the house. I, myself, have walked the camino many times: 3 times the Camino Frances (one of them starting in Le Pui all the way to Finisterra), the other two starting in SJPP and Pamplone. I have also...

I just completed a mid January Camino Frances. It was my 3rd or 4th walk on the CF and ninth Camino overall. I have walked in March, April, May, June, July, August, September and October. I had never seen a bedbug or been in a albergue or hotel/pension that reported them except for one time...

But for those seeking an added degree of difficulty and adventure, you can walk in winter. The cold, rain and snow are very common in this season, so it makes the Camino quite hard... read more here http://authentic-journeys.com/blog/the-winter-camino/

I have been taken with favorable posts on the Invierno from @peregrina2000 , @KinkyOne, @Rebekah Scott and others. Circumstances may (operative word, "may") provide me both cash and time for a quick jaunt that way in a few weeks. I don't care about weather, food or anything else. Just one...

I'm new to this forum, so Hello All! :D I did Camino couple of times and just wander if anyone is planning to start this year from SJPDP in February?

Hey! So I'm leaving my house in less than a couple of hours to start my adventure. Staying down at a friends then flying off to France tomorrow! I don't really know what to say, I feel I am about as prepared as I can be, I don't have a background in this kind of thing so I know it's going to...

I am a 22 year old female student planning to walk the Camino for the first time, starting in Leon and finishing in Santiago beginning in mid-January as I am writing my dissertation on the Camino pilgrim experience. I am a bit concerned that I will not meet many pilgrims along the way, as I...

Hello, my sisters and I will be walking from Sarria to Santiago in a few weeks time at the end of January. We are flying with Ryanair from London and they do not allow walking sticks/poles as part of hand luggage. What we're slightly worried about is; as it being 'off season', will there be...

Hello everybody! I'm going to be starting the Via de la Plata in the last week in January from Seville... Am I crazy? I only decided at two this morning... Any tips or experiences would be most welcome... I have a flexible window...Should I leave it to start by another week or is there any...

Hi there! So, I'm going to walk the Camino Frances for the first time, starting in 13 of December. My idea is to walk the French path till Leon, then take the Camino Salvador to Oviedo and there start the Camino Primitivo to Melide, where, once again, I'll be walking the Camino Frances to...

There are many resources for albergues and many do include information on when they are open I was introduced to this other one by a French pilgrim who used it extensively It has a differential in claiming to be updated (and I'm sure it is) daily http://www.aprinca.com/alberguesinvierno/...

Hey, I'm planning to meet a friend in Toulouse and from there follow up the camino that starts from Le Puy, I want to de it in December (so in a couple of weeks!) Got most of my gear, bought a tent and good sleeping bag and small cooker, planning to camp out for most of my journey and carry on...

Hola Peregrinos, I would love to walk the Via de la Plata leaving Sevilla on Ash-wednesday, February 10 to arrive at Easter,March 27 in Santiago. I would like to know if the albergues are open at that time of the year. Taking a tent with me is something i would like to avoid, (but i would carry...

Hello! My mom and I are planning to hiking the El Camino France this winter starting around the middle of January. I have been doing some research on what a winter hike on the Camino looks like and it seems like on of the problems might be that a lot of the Albergues close in the winter. I was...

Hello all, With limited time off work (20th dec- 3rd Jan) I would love to try and fit in some of the Camino over Christmas, from what I have read on this forum already and given my time scale, the Ponferrada - Santiago route seem the best fit. Agree or disagree? I am a bit worried about...
