The Way (2012)

In this 3 part series, we’re helping you plan the perfect Camino de Santiago tour for you. In part one we covered the basics- amount of time you have, the time of year you’ll be traveling and what type of Camino experience you’re looking for.

In part 2, we’re specifically breaking down the tours- guided vs self-guided and the advantages of both.

Dietary restrictions can be intimidating when traveling in another country. It can be especially worrisome if you’re walking long distances and really need healthy food and meals to keep up your strength. While Spain is a meat loving country, there are many options for a vegetarian in Spain.

This question comes up quite often- can I walk the Camino if I’m overweight or not in the best physical shape? And the answer is- DEFINITELY! I can’t tell you how many people I’ve seen walking the Camino of all shapes, sizes and physical abilities. You won’t be looked at funny, no one will judge your size or pace, and people respect each other and their journeys. Most travelers aren’t in the best shape or aren’t accustomed to walking long distances each day, and that’s ok. Everyone sets their own walking tempo and they arrive when they arrive.

So, you’re thinking of walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain? Maybe you’ve watched the movie, The Way, or have heard some friends talking about it. But the idea is in your head and it’s on your bucket list, so where do you even begin? It can be overwhelming reading message boards and articles about gear, places to stay, and figuring out all the logistics, but in this 3-part series, we want to help you plan the most successful Camino trip possible.
