Walking the Camino de Santiago: Our Hardest Day on the Camino, Tips and Prices, & The Halfway Point! 

I was there in June/July 2023 and had no problem finding a bed. I only got as far as Burgos though. I love the Albergue monastery and hope to stay there when I resume my Camino next year.

Thank you for naming the albuerges, jotting down your daily expenses and sharing your experience. Give us future peregrino idea what to expect. Such a pleasure watching your Camino video.

Hey we met you both ( briefly) on the trail, i was so excited when I came across your episodes! We waved at your drone at one point lol Love your channel! 🥰

I started in SJPDP on March 1, 2023, and was able to find places to stay most nights without reservations. I finished during Holy Week, and reservations were definitely needed. Heading to Finestra no need for reservations. Summer is a different story. Thanks for the videos. Very real.

looking forward to the next installment

Camino magic at work.

Are you doing this in August 2023? Or published in Aug and walked earlier this year? Just wondering bc you are talking about early ( in the season)... Edit: it seems like May... it would be useful to have the dates in the description...thank you....

Hey you two, been binging on yur Camino adventures, however, I'm trying to establish the dates you are walking. Some videos show 4 weeks ago, others 1month ago....hmm. Would like to use your documentation as a reference point to plan out my 2024 camino.. luv ya ❤❤

I walked at the same time of year in 2010 and had zero problems finding a place to stay. Also I had many days of freezing, cold rain followed by some very hot days. For me, the meseta is the true essence of the Camino. Those who bypass it miss out. Might you think that you didn't do enough preparation. There are other cities that parallel the route where you can find accommodations. Plan do my 3rd camino in 2024 on the Via del Plata. Before I started the Camino Frances, I took my suitcase with all the clothes I wouldn't need and shipped it ahead by parcel post from France to Santiago. Right outside of Astorga is a small pueblo called Castrillo de Polvazares which is very special and unique. It's just a short detour off the Camino. By the way, red is network in Spanish. Duh! Makes sense know, huh? There is so much more to Spain than the Camino.

Her leg pains may also be caused by her backpack, it is not the kind of pack that you should use on such a long hike. Also, you should be using 2 walkinig poles. The poles help you going up hill, and down hill. Using just one throws you off and may also be a cause of your pains.

Nace, wether hav à good time

What proportion of pilgrims you've talked with have done the Camino Frances multiple times? Many RU-vidrs and subscribers of the Camino Forum brag about how many times they've done CF (others paths as well but mostly CF). That's commendable of course but are they taking up a lot of albergue bed space?

What is the name of that albergue? Or which town/village was it in? :)

I've noticed an interesting phenomenon among Camino RU-vid series: so many of them focus on the hard stuff and show very little of the positive. You talk about the positive. But rarely show it. Is the Camino really not worth it? It doesn't seem that enjoyable or fulfilling...

Go see a doctor if you are in pain with your leg. Don't be the typical American and don't go. Do not try to figure it out yourself. You tried that and it did not work. You will not go bankrupt and it might save a LOT in the future. Pity you did not do that in the bigger city of Burgos where it would have been easier to find a doctor who spoke English.
