I finished the Ingles from Ferrol on Tuesday and found the route quiet compared to when I walked it in June 2022. There were enough Pilgrims to make it a communal experience but lots of Kms walking alone.

Hope October is good this year. Will be my wife and I second Camino.

Buen Camino!

Thank you, Ivar for your continued good work in providing us with news about the Camino🙏

[@Ivar]

My pleasure!

[@AidaJof]

@@Ivar your information is invaluable - I share it with a new pilgrim who is starting in September to walk the entire Camino Frances from SJPP 🙏

[@SandiTerps]

Thank you for this Ivar. I was at Pilgrim House at the end of my first Camino 10 years ago, not long after they opened. It’s a wonderful respite. Since then, I’ve returned several times and referred pilgrims there. Kudos to them.

@@SandiTerps they are great!

[@jerrilynn3331]

I went to the pilgrim house last September to debrief and share my experience walking the Camino Frances. They had me write myself a letter as well. I am so glad I went and did those things. They were so helpful!!

[@lorettaray8317]

I enjoyed seeing your walk through yhe centre and all the people and some festivities going on in Santiago. Looks like a great time to be there.

@@lorettaray8317 thank you! It is busy!

[@jeannetteferreras8943]

I’ll walk the Camino again next year can’t wait ❤❤❤thanks for the update!

[@Ivar]

Buen Camino!

[@steffanouthuijse4216]

regarding the camino Frances in September: you are referring to a couple of days where there seems to be a large bubble of pilgrims starting at the same moment. Do you have an idea which dates more or less? looking to do the camino in Sep. and wouldn't mind skipping the bedraces... Great update and video;)

[@Ivar]

It usually coincides with a holiday or the beginning of the month... or the beginning of the week. I remember seeing stats from the pilgrims office in SJPP on what day of the week most pilgrims start... I don't remember now, but it might be Saturday/Sundays... so if you can, think of starring mid week with no holidays. Buen Camino!

@@Ivar that makes sense! Thanks!

I also plan to walk another Camino next year. In Canada we see a lot of news stories about the anti-tourist push in Spain. Is this affecting any of the Camino routes?

[@Ivar]

@@barryrashotte5538 in the major cities, some grumbling .. but not in rural Spain. You will spend 99% of your time there

[@barryrashotte5538]

@@Ivar thx. Thought that would be case.

Did you see the movie last night?

I could not make it. I heard it went well!
