If you aren't camping call ahead of your arrival to book a bed otherwise the albergue might be full, specially now with the huge influx of post-cov pilgrims.

well ventilated shoes that fit perfectly on you, some blister prevention cream and cover yourself from the sun while staying cool.
pick public albergues, ive been told they're better and cheaper than a lot of private ones.
>>2446574 as this anon says, call in advance.

Thats a really nice trip.
I would recomend the inner route."Camino primitivo". Less turistic and plenty of friendly people.

>>2446574
I'll book everything before I'll go. But again, holidays will be over so there'll be less people I think.

Did somebody already did it ?
Btw, do you think it's better to do it alone or in group ?

Im starting in SJPDP at the start of september, if I feel like it I will switch to the primitivo in Leon.

>>2446574
municipal albergues only allow half the beds to be booked ahead right? So unless you are one of the last ones in you should still be good. I think booking everything ahead takes away a bit of the freedom and adventure

Based. The thinking man's Camino is the El Salvador from Leon to Oviedo and then the primitivo to Santiago.

>>2447043
Yes even in September you can pretty sun burnt.

I haven't done the French but I've done others like the primitivo that matches the French for the last hundred or so km, it's crazy the amount of people, if you have a strong pace there are parts that you get stuck in the traffic lol.

I wouldn't book until the day, sometimes you may feel good and want to walk more or feel bad and want to walk less. Call ahead like at 12:00 and you should still be able to book. Booking or not you should be mindful of it because it may be the difference between paying 6€ for a municipal bed or 30 for a private room. Over 20 days it's a nice chunk of money. But desu if you have a lightweight tent I would just camp most days.

Are you planning to do a specific route?

The Camino Francés (French way), which passes through the most culturally relevant sites (Logroño, Burgos, León, Astorga...), but it's also the most tourist-oriented, I did it ten years ago during september and some places were crowded as fuck, I guess now it's even worse (specially this year, which is Jubilee).

If you want - people and + nature do any of the alternative rutes such as Camino del Norte (North Way), or the French way to León, then the Camino de El Salvador to Oviedo and finally the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago.

The Camino Francés is the best known*

The details of the pilgrimage are still kinda blurry for the moment.

I'd like to get there for All Saints' Day, so as I plan to do this in 40 days, it makes a pace of 30km/day. I think it's a lot but doable with a good preparation and stuff.

In fact I'm not interested in tourism, i'll have to walk fast if I want to reach my goal. Maybe on return, because I think about walking to come back. So probably Camino del Norte, plus it seems shorter.

Anything about the cost ? Someone told me it could be 3k for 2 months. How can it be so expensive ? Are albergue expensive ?

>the cost

One of the best things about this pilgrimage is that it can be extremely budget friendly.

>free albergues
>might be full
>wash your clothes by hand
>most have functional kitchens.
>you can buy food at the local grocery store and cook

Or you can go the rest of the albergues with prices that varies between 10-20 euros, have washing machines (that also cost money) and eat at the local restaurants or bares

when I went to Santiago before corona, I spent 350 euros in 5 days and I didn't do the budget option.

There are some "free" albergues, but don't be stingy and leave some tip, around 4-6€. An albergue with a fixed price can be around 5-8 euros (maybe now it's more because inflation). The private ones can go from 8-9 to 15-20 euros.
