Planning your Camino- the first steps
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.
Day Trip to Finisterre
Many times, after walking the Camino, travelers don’t want their experience to end. They can also feel overwhelmed with the crowds and people in Santiago and they long for the quiet trail of the Camino.
One way to extend the trip and have a reflective experience is by taking a day trip to Finisterre, translated as “The End of the Earth”.
Will my phone work on the Camino?
We always get a lot of questions about using American phones in Spain and on the Camino. It’s well known that American telecoms charge exorbitant prices for using your phone with a domestic plan overseas and it can be a shock when you return home and see the bill. There are a few options to handle this to make sure you have coverage but aren’t charged an arm and a leg.
