    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!

    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?

    • @StingyNomads
      @StingyNomads  Před 4 lety

      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.

    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

    • @StingyNomads
      @StingyNomads  Před 4 lety

      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.

    • @voxhominem
      @voxhominem Před 4 lety

      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.
