    My first Camino was Portugese route from Porto. I started 30.06 and it took me 6 days to complete at Santiago. Long sunny days and 👣 from AM till late PM. Now I know that next time will walk little bit slower, less kms per day but visiting more places :)

      Thanks for sharing Dorota! this is a common thing with all! We arrive from the busy live, busy streets, metros.. and then jump into the Camino! The one thing I recommend to everyone- for those who read this message before preparing for the first Camino- is to spend a day in the place where you start, sink into the tradition, culture. Synchronise with the Vibe of thee place and the Camino itself! When is your next Camino Dorota?

    Me encanta como cuentas tus experiencias. Se te ve muy relajado y que conoces muy bien el Camino. Tradicionalmente el Camino de Santiago es el Francés y se solía hacer durmiendo en los albergues públicos o privados pero en los que solo se paga la voluntad o muy poco dinero. Lo que ocurre es que está muy masificado y eso ya no se puede hacer. Yo hice una parte del Camino de la Plata en enero y no había absolutamente nadie. Fue espectacular: abriamos y cerrábamos los albergues que eran solo para nosotros

    Thanks for the ideas, planning my first Camino which will be 12-14 days. Could you talk about the details of walking at different times of the year sometime? I plan to go in September. It's hard to find Camino videos specifically about walking in fall months instead of the summer (tips, clothes, albergue differences, etc). It would be a unique video I think

    • @caminotellers
      @caminotellers  Рік тому +4

      Hi! Thanks for reaching out, I'm glad that you are joining Camino family!
      Walking in September hugely depends on how hot is the summer, and how long does it last for, but in general you have to be prepared for more rain( ESPECIALLY Galicia) and lower temperatures on higher Altitude( O'cebreiro, Foncebadon).The humidity will affect the field of view, as fogs will apear so a headlight is a MUST! Days are shorter so maybe don't start to early as one "Old Timer" once told me- Why would anyone walk in Galician Forests in the dark?
      I will be making the video about that in following weeks, so stay connected ;) hugs

      The French Camino has two or three places pf higher hills but they aren’t dangerous cliffs. If you prefer something much easier, Portuguese way from Porto has only one hill, in ponte de Lima, but it’s barely 30 min of climbing. Totally plain would be a English way! Hugs

    Good insights based on experience. Perhaps the question might be which Camino choses the person. I always felt a pull or thread of connection that attracted me to walk my Caminos and when the time was right, I just packed my rucksack and off I went. To be fair, it's much easier for me because I live in Spain.

      It reminds me of the movie 7 years in Tibet, when they are choosing the New Buddha, depending which object he takes from the table. Maybe the election and the decision is made from two sides- object and Buddha?! And in this story you seem like a lucky one if you live in Spain ;) hugs

      Hello Emy, yes some people never experienced it (Erica for instance), it's not so frequent, but when it happens usually they close the place where it happens to disinfect everything and avoid it spreading more. Even if it happens is not fatal, just follow all the instructions to remove it from your clothes and backpack!
