I love all the detailed information on the Camino that you have provided. It is greatly appreciated. My best friend and I are going in September 2021. I’ll turn 70 in January and she will be 72 in February. We’re excited and training to do our best - without stress. We plan to do the Camino Frances. I acknowledge and am grateful for all the work that went into providing so many resources and support. Thank you! Bueno Camino!
Thank you! I walked the French Camino in September it was great but very busy. I'd recommend booking the albergue in Roncesvalles and in other smallish towns ahead. Buen Camino!
Thanks for your handy tips. Started collecting my pack for my Camino. Hope to start May the 1st. Haven't decided where from yet but l'm sure it will be the right one!
Hello, Catherine! Thank you for the comment! Hopefully next year we all will be able to walk the Camino again. We had a couple of Camino planned but had to postpone everything. If you're still deciding on the route we have a post that you might find helpful stingynomads.com/camino-de-santiago-routes/ Buen Camino!
@@StingyNomads Thanks for the link of routes. I'm now toying with the idea of the Portugal Coastal route. Infact, think this will keep my happy walking along as love the seaside along with fishing villages.
@@catherinemcgrath3473 We planned to walk in May as well, it's a good time for walking the Portuguese Camino. Who knows maybe next year we'll meet somewhere on the way.
Thank you for your video. I am hoping to do the pilgrimage, and other 'ways' starting next year ( I wanted to do so this year for my 50th, but no go). I am looking to re-find my soul and spirit and your shared experience is offering guidance.
hi, interesting video, i live in estepona so i can get to seville, or mallaga pretty easily and was wondering if you think the silver way (from seville) or the mozarbe (malaga to cordobe) whould be best for me. I have never done a camino before so whould prefer something sort of easygoing lasting maybe a week or 2. thanks
Hi! The Mozarabe route has very little infrastructure, there are no albergues and not many hotels along the way, it's more difficult to find places to sleep and to plan the walk. We haven't walked it but it's what we've heard from other pilgrims who have. The Silver Way has albergues and hotels along the route, as well as restaurants it's still quite tough due to long distances between the towns but much easier than the Mozarabe. We walked the Silver way last year April.
Hi. I'm really enjoying your videos 🙂. I don't think I could walk more than 15 km in a day, at least to begin with ... do some people camp out overnight between towns? Is this possible? Many thanks.
thank you so much for this! my husband and I are planning to walk the camino in memory of my mother. We lived in Miranda de Ebro for 4 years and my mother would visit and she loved it! A small question, how long do you typically spend in each village/ city on the route and do you factor that in when you are planning your trip?
Hi! Thank you for the comment! We try to plan our itinerary the way that we stop for a night at the main cities/towns along the Camino. Sometimes we find a nice place that we've never heard about and spend an hour or two just walking around, drinking coffee. The best way is to be flexible, walk as far as you want, stop at places you like etc. Unfortunately for many pilgrims time is a big deal not everybody has unlimited time to walk the Camino.
quick question, I would like to go Portugese way from Porto to Santiago. I looked at Camino ways ant it didn't show that itinerary. Do I really need them how else can I find out how to handle my camino? Thank you
You can check on our blog we have plenty of Camino posts including two for the Portuguese Camino from Porto, one on the Coastal Route stingynomads.com/portuguese-coastal-camino-stages/ and one on the Central Route stingynomads.com/camino-portugues-stages/. Both posts have itineraries, accommodation recommendations, distances, etc. I hope it'll help in your planning!
Question: Do you feel like not being able to speak spanish and going solo is going to be stressful? I don't want to annoy service staff and locals and feel like I can't communicate well with anyone around me :(
I haven't done the camino yet, but I lived in northern spain for a little while working on my spanish skills. Spain isn't like germany or canada where nearly everyone speaks English, but if youre willing to put in the work, especially around tourist areas, you can find people all around that speak english and some signs also have english on them. You'll also quickly learn enough spanish to get by. I'd say in tourist areas the shops and services usually have someone on staff that speaks a decent amount of english. I only had to go to hospital once but the doctor spoke better english than I do half the time.

Какое приятное видео (: Thanks Campbell and Alya 🙏
Wish I could see this vid 5yrs ago. I'm too old for this kind of trip.
Na, I'm 46 and thinking about doing it this year.
66 and cannot wait!
I have an aunt and a family friend who both did it in their 60's
Not to old I'm 78 and in training to go on my Camino
M Alam - I’m going to be 70 (Jan 2021) and my friend who is 72. We’re going Sept 2021. Age is an attitude. Of course it does help to have good health.
Oh my goodness- a fellow South African! 🇿🇦
Buen Camino! Hoop dit gaan goed Brigitte 🇿🇦
Well done as always!
Nice place, Thumbs up! Thanks for sharing!!

Just ask another pilgrim it to help you
Staff deal with hundreds of foreigners every day and won't be annoyed by anything.
A South African, are you from the Western Cape?
yes, Cape Town
@@StingyNomads Great vid. My two sons did the walk last week. They beat me to it. Lol
