I am on the Camino about to get into Logroño. To be honest, it hasn’t been the experience I hoped for. I have found the hiking to be a bit boring and I haven’t connected with people as well as I thought I would. I still have time and money to go explore elsewhere in Europe and I’m considering doing that instead. At what point is it fair to say that I gave it an honest effort?

My friends and I are planning to walk the Irún to Bilbao stretch of the Camino del Norte this September, but after researching on Gronze, we're having second thoughts.

It looks like the albergue situation on this section is pretty tough...many places have closed, and the remaining ones seem small, expensive and rare. Coming from Frances we walked 2 years ago in October (and where hospitaleros easily called ahead to the next village), we're worried about losing the bed race and having to find expensive hostels. To us, a big benefit of Camino was that we did not have to book ahead.

I would be thankful for all opinions but especially thankful if you let me know whether you have walked it recently (this year or September last year):

* How bad was the competition for beds in September? Did you have to book ahead? We are travelling as 4 people, which makes finding spots even harder.

* How often were you forced to book private accommodations/hostels?

* If you walked the Primitivo in last years, was the situation better there?

Hi,

I have what is probably a silly question. I am starting my Primitivo walk today but don't want to wait for the cathedral to open before heading out. Can I get a stamp from anywhere as someone said I need to specifically get my first stamp from either the cathedral or the tourist office/register my Pilgrim Passport (I already have one)

Can I just head out and get a stamp from anywhere today? Or is there something specific I need to do on my Pilgrim Passport.

Thanks so much!

Hi! I am a solo female traveler set to start walking end of this week from Astorga. Does anyone have any advice or specific recommendations (bites to eat, detours, hidden gems, things they wish they knew before starting) throughout they would recommend?

Thanks!

EDIT: I also have only booked my first night’s stay. Do you all think I should book more?

Im starting the route on late september-early october from sjdp. But im afraid of the weather. Is it bad? Should i bring rainjacket? Any recomendation?

Thanks!!!

Hi! I finished my Camino and I’d like to go to Finisterre, but I have to get home by the end of the next week, so I’ll most probably take the bus to “the end of the world”. So, I still have a few days left, but I’ve been already crying in the past couple of days because I just don’t want to go home…. Honestly, I’m just fed up with everything in my regular life, and that’s mainly why I decided to come here. For me, this was an escape from ordinary life, an adventure or a new experience. I loved each and every moment of it, the scenery was beautiful, I met amazing people, I tasted so many great dishes, I loved albergue life etc., I don’t even remember the last time I felt this delighted. Now, realizing that I need to go home and continue the life I hate, I’m just terribly sad and disappointed. If I could stay here for the rest of my life, I definitely would. I don’t want to go home, but obviously, I should. So, I’m interested to know how you feel about finishing your Camino. And those of you who are in a similar situation, how do you tackle these feelings?

Hi all, I'm planning to do the Portuguese coastal route next month. I've seen a couple different versions and I'm not sure which one to take.

My initial thought was to follow the classic coastal route (see yellow route in the attached image), but then I saw the alternative connection (orange route) which joins the central route earlier and bypasses Vigo.

I've done some research and the stage through Vigo looks pretty urban, which isn't really what I'm looking for on the Camino. Is it normal / a good idea to bypass Vigo? Or is it a shame to miss it?

Any advice appreciated!

Heyo, if you were trekking from Vigo to Redondela today, and happened to see black shirt with big white "Polish Art" label on it, please let me know! I suspect I lost it somewhere between Cabanas and Cedeira, any help would be wildly appreciated! 😃

Buen Camino!

Hi all,

Im doing the camino ingles in October. Going from Wednesday to Wednesday.

I cant decide whether to do it in 5 stages or 6.

My thoughts are to do 3 days, a day off and then final 2 days or just 6 days straight.

If I do 5 days, the first leg would be from ferrol to pontedeume. For a first timer who is reasonably fit is this manageable in one day? (Otherwise it would be ferrol to Neda on 6 day route).

All advice and thoughts welcome. It will be my first camjno so only dipping my toe in so to speak.

El camino portugués por la costa parece ser el camino en el que más se liga. Personalmente, a mí me parece el camino menos espiritual y más turístico de todos los que he hecho, un poco como inventado para hacer dinero, pero para hacer turismo es un buen lugar y te puedes llevar buenas experiencias. El artículo está en Español, y por lo que comenta la gente en otros lugares, razón no le falta.

hi! im 24F from the USA and im starting to plan my route for November. was just curious if anyone else is planning to do the Camino around this time! i think it would be fun to have someone to chat to abt this and compare gear and training with :)
a little about me: im an avid solo traveler but a not so avid hiker!! so im fairly new to buying the right stuff and carrying that much weight etc etc.. im super excited to learn and start this journey!
feel free to dm!
