Full Camino Frances with Kids: Day 27 - A mass of people!
In April 2024 we walked from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela as a family of five.
Camino Update Day #27
Everyone was very hungry when we woke up. The last few days of intense climbing and weather are catching up to us. We ate, got out the door, and were met with two surprised: a major climb right away, and hundreds of other pilgrims. It appears that the convergence of several things made the perfect storm. First, Sarria is the last main village where a pilgrim can begin the Camino de Santiago and still get their compostella (certificate of completion). Second, today is a weekend so people are out doing short hikes. Third, Wednesday is a holiday in Spain, so people are capitalizing on the short workweek to take time off and walk on the Camino. What that meant for us was a lot of other pilgrims who were fresh, chipper, and clean, none of which fit our description.
We walked on in the long stream of pilgrims, and were surprised to meet up with a friend from earlier in the trek, and then Gaspar our friend from Ponferrada. He helped push the cart and allowed me to rest my legs. I would need those for all the hills later on!
We worked our way down a very tight and slick crevice before Portomarín, with the help of two other pilgrims, and then crossed the reservoir. We skirted the city, and thankfully left the mass of pilgrims behind. That should have been our stop, but due to the large amount of new hikers, we couldn’t find reservations for another 13 kilometers. We kept walking.
Thankfully Gaspar helped again on a few hills and then left us to knock out the last 10, which we did a little slower! We should have had an easy day today, but because of the issues with lodgings, we logged another 35 kilometers (nearly 22 miles). We found some supper, showered the kids, and everyone got to bed!

    That was a tough climb for you guys, your children did superbly well and definitely earned their O Cebreiro coins! You guys walk some long stages, I did this one from Villafranca-del-Bierzo, where I stayed overnight at my cousin's house, and stopped at La Faba. I went the rocky path way, which was a bit brutal on the knees and ankles.

    Great Puerta del Perdón does not grant the the forgiveness of sins, that is done by God, but the granting of the indulgence of el Camino which frees one from the need to do temporal time in purgatory for the remission of the consequences of their sins.

    Thanks for sharing some thoughtful questions about doing the Camino with kids. I’ve done two Camino’s solo - the full Camino Frances and the Camino Primitivo. I’m now looking at how to plan out a shorter Camino with my 10 year old and 7 year old daughters next summer. I’m thinking of either repeating the end of the Camino Frances (which is more familiar to me and I speak a little Spanish) to the Camino Portuguese (which I’ve never done and don’t speak Portuguese). Thanks for posting your videos!

    • @sethgrotzke
      @sethgrotzke 13 днів тому

      Both of those are great options. We have done the Portuguese Camino with our kids twice (you can see our earlier videos of those), and the French. You won't have any problem with not speaking Portuguese while walking the Portuguese Camino. We have started on the Costal route and then transitioned to the central route, and really liked that. The Spiritual Variant is gorgeous and if you time it right, the boat ride up to Padrón is fantastic.

    Majestic and magnificent El Bierzo, a hidden jewel of the Iberian peninsula. That descent into Molinaseca is no joke. I took the road route for a lot of it, and saved my knees and ankles. I met others who went the shorter, but more rugged route, and they were battered when they arrived in Molinaseca.

    • @sethgrotzke

    That is a tough stage to walk, due to its isolation and only that one food truck in-between Carrión de los Condes and the next village, Calzadilla de la Cueza. When I did it September 2018, it was over 34°C and I'd been sick the night before from a stomach bug. I probably should have rested one more night, but decided to walk it. To this day, I still don't know how I made it to Calzadilla de la Cueza, I was like a zombie on the "treadmill" leg of almost 18k straight.

    • @sethgrotzke
      @sethgrotzke Місяць тому

      That would be so tough! There were probably some other pilgrims wondering if you would make it as well! It is a long slog, but thankfully we made it.

      @@sethgrotzke I only saw one as I set off from Carrión de los Condes, probably because I set off late, around 10am, after first looking for affordable hotel stay. I was so weak by the time I stopped at a picnic area with wooden benches near a shelter. I was still very ill, and I could only drink water. Fortunately, a passing pilgrim stopped to check on me and stay with for a while. She said I should try and eat something, but my stomach was still feeling bad. However, I then realised I had an energy bar in my pack, so I ate that and then rested a bit more. I got going again and made it to Calzadilla de la Cueza. I entered the albergue, showered, washed my clothes and then slept for 4 hours! That evening, I woke up feeling better and went out to have soup. The next day was much better, but I was still weak from the previous day. Apparently, at that same time there were many people reporting stomach bugs and being very sick. In my Albergue of Espiritu Santo in Carrión de los Condes, I was the only one to be sick that night. It's strange though, because on arrival I heard that one whole dormitory was closed off due to an outbreak of gastroenteritis, according to the nuns that were in reception. I nearly cancelled to look for another albergue, but I was so tired I just took my chances! One of the nuns helped look after me when she found me collapsed in the washrooms after a bout of violent vomiting and fever.

    First and foremost, congratulations to you guys and your wonderful children on completing such a long day on La Maseta. This video, like all of them, is so beautifully filmed. May La Maseta open up your hearts - it did mine. Some people skip it or say it lacks interest, however, its lack of distraction, massive skies and slow pace make for special moments of tremendous impact on one's life. It is often said that Pilgrims go through 3 stages on the Camino: physical, emotional and spiritual. La Maseta is the pinnacle of that emotional stage, not to be missed. I hope you managed to have a look inside the magical Casa de Silencio in Castrojeriz. I missed it on my Camino, but later discovered it while working as a volunteer at Alberigue Orion in Castrojeriz.

    You guys are doing great. The Maseta is approaching now, so in this heat you'll need very early starts to avoid too much walking in the heat. However, apart from the hill outside of Castrojeriz, it's a relatively flat/gently undulating walk all the way to the short climb and descent into León. Your children are doing great, and it was great to see you include a still photo of the pilgrim that helped you with the buggie up the hill. Those loose tortillas need to be handled with care on long hot summer days...

    No backpack is perfect, everyone has different needs when using them. Personally, Deuter is my preferred backpack. The belt pockets can get in the way if they are too big, so I prefer carrying a "fanny pack" up front, which is far easier to access and use for the items I need to grab on the go or to use in town/village after arrival at an albergue/hostel. To stop it falling too low, I use a carabina to secure it to the chest strap of backpack. It looks cumbersome, but it works for me.

    • @sethgrotzke

    Thank you for editing & posting these--they are better than letters (my eyes get heavy!) They make things seem more personal, too😌

    How many days did it take for this route?

    • @sethgrotzke
      @sethgrotzke 3 місяці тому

      Since we only did about 115 km on this route, we did it in 6 days. We just finished another Portuguese route which included some on the coast and then the spiritual variante, that took us longer. We typically factor for 20-25 km a day for our family. During the French route we did in April we found 25 km to be the best distance.

    Will your phone fit in the non zipper control center pouch?

      I have an iphone 11 pro with a small case and it fits part way, but not completely (I wouldn't feel comfortable with it in there).

    Hi Seth, I really liked your review, great info and nice to hear about their durability which often can't be verified in reviews. You never said what model these are? I'm guessing a mid to long distance shoe like the 50 but could you please let us know. Many thanks, Chris

    Can you please do another video fully loaded with your kit to better show the capacity and what all fits? Also show it being worn? This is the main thing I am trying to research, but no one seems to think to show that in their videos.

    Nice congratulations for the wonderful journey! :) how many days did it take and were you able to be at 50e per day with food an accommodation for all?

      We did the Portuguese Route in 6 days, since we factor for 20-25 km a day. When we did the French Route in April we found 25 km to be ideal. As far as price, I factor for each person to spend 40€ a day. You can go cheaper if you are solo, but lodgings for a family can be more expensive.
