    Hi, I am from the U.S. and recently joined the group so thank you! I have been waiting until I could retire, so now, I am starting my first Camino on August 27th from SJPdP. I've given myself some extra days to keep going to Finisterre once I reach Santiago. I'm using the time I have over the summer here on the East coast to train in the heat and to pare down my backpack to the lightest weight possible. Hope to see you on the Way! Buen Camino

    I wasn’t going to say this, because it is personal, but the Camino de Santiago has changed my life without me even going yet. While I was preparing, I decided to get a total health checkup with lots of appointments to lots of different specialists. We discovered a small growth that was just about to become life-threatening. So, St. James has become my patron Saint, because while I was getting ready to go on pilgrimage to his shrine, I caught cancer before it would have become disfiguring or life-threatening.
    I also hurt myself, so my trip was delayed, but that’s a different story. Haha.

    In your opinion, would you take a sleeping back on the primitivo in late april? I only took a sleeping liner on the frances but it was in September. And I'm not an ultra light hiker but I do like to keep it as light as possible. I'm a fairly warm sleeper and I'm guessing that some of the alburgues will have blankets, even if for a small fee. Thanks for the videos and who knows, maybe I'll see you out there someday.

    @caminotellers First, let me start by saying how much I appreciate your videos! They are informative, fun, & inspiring.
    Second, I'm planning on doing my first Camino starting mid-July of this year on the Frances route. Should I still plan on bringing a long sleeve shirt & a fleece for the evenings? Trying to save as much weight as possible and if I could drop those two it would save me about 435-450 grams.

    • @caminotellers
      @caminotellers  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Thanks a million for connecting! We always take two layers: the long-sleeve T-shirt, which helps us with sunburns, and the extra light, foldable down jacket, which can be a good idea for colder evenings, Galicia's humidity, and as a pillow if you need a quick rest. Many people use fleece jackets, but we prefer a lightweight, foldable jacket. What do you think?

    Another wonderful video from you guys! Lots of real important information. Thank you!
    This is a kind of video that must be seen more than once.
    I am thinking about hiking sandals for the rainy days. So my shoes can be safely dry on my backpack or around my neck if I get caught by the rain on the middle of the walk. What do you think?
    I’ll start my journey on Camino Francés from SJPP next September 16Th and I may get to Santiago by the end of October. According to my plan it will take 38 walking days. A big or tricky question - Is this period of the year too rainy?

      I’ve been to Spain several times and while the Customs and Immigration Service may ask how long you plan to stay in the country, they will not ask for proof. It’s better to have your return ticket way ahead of time because it will likely be much cheaper.

      I did the Camino Frances 6 years ago. I walked with a guy for a few days who had a CPAP machine . It didn’t really seem to cause any problems . The only difficulty he had in the public albergues was getting a bed close enough to an electrical socket. He sometimes had to negotiate a bed swap to be able to plug hi machine in. This obviously wouldn’t be a problem in private rooms. The noise of the machine didn’t seem to bother anybody ( the sound was drowned out by all the snoring. 😂). Good luck.

    The remains of Saint James are buried by tradition in Santiago de Compostella and were not "discovered" there.
    The scollop shell is an ancient symbol of Christianity. While used on the Camino, it symbolizes the Christian pilgrim. It's not just as a pointer for Santiago, if it's even that.
