Walking the Camino de Santiago: Part 1- Camino Frances- Crossing the Pyrenees

Walking the Camino de Santiago is a once in a life time experience. In this week's episode we tackle the hardest part of the Camino Frances, the first two days up and over the Pyrenees Mountains and the descent into Zubiri. The South of France and the North of Spain are some of the most beautiful mountain landscapes in the world! The first phase of the camino isn't easy, but it's so stinking pretty! In this series, we'll show you the best albergues on the Camino, where to stay, and share all our Camino tips too!

    They say you can divide the Camino into 3 parts. The first is physical, the second is the mind (aka the meseta), and the third is the spiritual. Is that something you experienced?

  • @lostamonglocals5382

    @lostamonglocals5382

    5 ай бұрын

    Yes and No. I think 500 years ago, yes, but today with good hiking gear and shoes, the first part isn't too bad if you're in decent shape (as long as you don't pull a muscle). It's mostly just sore muscles and blisters for some. The middle was hard on some people. I waltzed through the meseta with ease. We actually found it to be the most social part of our trip, but I can stay all day in my thoughts pretty easily. There were so many groups and tours and people the last part from Sarria that there wasn't much spiritual about it. Many used Santiago as a celebration party or were just worried about getting their certificate. Some had profound spiritual experiences though, so I guess it depends on the state of your heart, what's going on in your life, and how hard the journey was for you. I think it's physical, mental, and spiritual the whole way through for different reasons each day

    August is one of the busiest months and may still be quite hot, but if you go at the end and mostly walk in September, I can't think of any real perks differences. Oh the wine harvest is usually in September and that comes with local festivities

    In our experience most people who stayed in hotels utilized one of the Camino Organized companies to book all their hotels through in advance. If it's important to have private rooms, you may want to book ahead on your own or with Camino Ways or another company.

    We didn't really purchase anything for the trip except a small backpack for Abby and two $7 walking poles, (aside from walking shoes and a couple t-shirts because didn't have those things in our normal full-time travel bags). We agree though. We found we had everything we needed without buying much extra.

    @lauralane1760 on 90% of the Camino you will be totally fine in English and hand motions. There are a couple of small towns that are harder but the great thing about the Camino is you're never alone and there's always a bilingual friend nearby😊
