      Regardless of all the people on this section, it is a genuinely beautiful area in every way. Do you have Camino #2 planned yet?😉

      @@CaminoGuide I would agree. I remember very fondly the section you showed in your video. It is amazing how once you go on the Camino, you are hooked for life.
      Yes, I have begun putting my plans together. I expect to leave the U.S. the last day of April flying into Madrid. I am going to do the Northern route. One of the mistakes I made on my first Camino was not allowing enough time to do Fistera and Muxia. I hope to do that on this trip. I am also going to eliminate many of the things that I carried. Most of the stuff I did not need.
      I have also been doing training walks with my full pack, 10 miles a day. I am finishing my most recent book. Once that is complete, I plan to do training hikes on a daily basis that will be the same number of miles as the actual Camino. So, basically, I will walk the Camino here to train for walking it there.
      Hope to see you someday in Spain.

      That's incredible. I'm jealous. I am planning to lead a group from Ponferrada to Santiago starting May 21 to June 4. It's very possible that you would be arriving in Melide (isn't that where the Northern route connects with Frances?) after we get to that point. Maybe we will meet this year!

    "Put your rain gear on to stop the rain"🤣So not true for me haha glad it worked for you, my 42 day walk was 40 days of rain,some heavy some light I just left the rain gear on the pack and took poncho off and on and wore my surf shirt which keeps you warm in cool rain. --Wonderful sharing-thank you.

      That would be a hard Camino for me. Great if you like solitude! I like to talk with people and they often are much more quiet in the rain!

      @@CaminoGuide 🥰 I like both. I did have sunshine breaks every day though too. I did an adventurous snail Camino part 1- My intentions were reflective as well as getting a taste of Spanish culture, as I heard about the "ancient trails and small villages " all my life(born in Madrid). I am still recovering from some major injuries, but my pt therapist encouraged me to still go. It was a culture shock not speaking English for a long length of time though, and when I was tired, I spoke like a grumpy toddler( I'm hungry,I'm tired, I cold lol. ).But my favorite day of my whole trip was after being caught in really heavy rain and sheltering with many cats, two Abuelas talked to me at 2 am and gave me a ride the rest of the way to my hostel as no taxi's available.🥰Your tips and input helped me prepare as well👣👣-thank you

      @@lornasadventures that’s such a precious Camino story. I love when locals step up to make a pilgrims Camino awesome.
      It’s a good point. Even most rainy days are not rainy all day.
      I’m THRILLED that I got to help. One of the best parts of making these videos is all the people I meet on the Way who said I helped them make the walk.

    I loved: "So that's how you make food decisions on the Camino. It's not really whether you're hungry or not, it's if your friends have already stopped." So very true!!

    I’ll be walking Camino Frances starting towards the end of April and onwards through May. How would you best describe your overall weather experience? Sunny, rainy, colder than warm, etc? I also wanted to mention that I appreciate your videos as it’s helped me prepare for my upcoming trip. I can’t wait.

    Hello! Thanks for sharing tour journey. What shoes did your group wear that worked for the rain? Thinking about going in October and concerned of having wet shoes and getting blisters. Thanks!
