That being said, here below are the essentials you need for the Camino.Īs I explained earlier, walking the Camino is quite a challenge. FYI these agencies can also help you organize your Camino and book places to stay and get a picnic lunch every day.Īnd another important info: many of the Albergues, Casa or hotels on the Camino offer laundry services if needed for a few euros (I have seen places where it was less than 5€).
I used the services of Gali Wonders, but a few other agencies are doing the same kind of job. This means you won’t have to worry that much about the weight of your bag 🙂. What to pack for the Camino is probably one of the main questions you’re asking yourself before starting this experience! Obviously, I had to include it in this Essential guide for the Camino! This is indeed a sensitive information as many of you will carry everything on your back during the Camino.įirstly, one of the things you need to know before I tell you what is important to bring with you, is that nowadays you can use the services of an agency to carry your luggage from one place to another.
This general feeling is so intense that it’s motivating you to do the Camino another time even if you didn’t even recover from the first one yet!
#Camino de.santiago full#
Most of them hiked way more kilometers than me! The atmosphere in front of the cathedral in Santiago was vibrant and joyful! You could hear people cheering from all around the square, talking to their friends and family on the phone, filming some video, screaming of happiness, jumping in each other arms as they would recognize someone, they met on the way… It’s full of positive energy! But I mostly felt very proud of myself for doing it! I also felt super happy to have shared this experience with my friends and we hugged each other warmly!īesides that, I was quite impressed when I saw all the other people around us coming from different countries, of all ages and physical shape. I talked to you about the challenges in one of the previous paragraphs… Well, the best is when you overcome them! The feeling that you get once you arrived in front of the Cathedral in Santiago is extraordinary! I was relieved it was over and to be finally arrived after all these kilometers of walk. Some say it’s the best region of Spain for bread and cheese! And you shouldn’t miss the famous Tarta de Santagio for dessert: it’s a delicious almond cake with a cross of St James on top of it. Besides that, Galicia offers some very good bread (pan Gallego) and cheese (queso Tetilla). You should try these yummy Galician dishes: empanada Gallega (Galician Meat Pie), mejillones al vapor (steamed mussels), merluza a la Gallega (Galician Style Hake), pulpo a la Gallega (Galician-Style Octopus), Caldo Gallego (Galician broth) or the pimientos de Padron (fried green peppers). And you will also enjoy some delicious homemade cuisine in the Casas where you will spend the night! You can taste it at one of the numerous restaurants on the way to or in Santiago. Most of us think we will get fit doing the Camino and lose weight… Well, truth be told, the biggest secret of the Camino is that you might actually gain some weight, as the food is very good! Yes, I’m really spilling the tea in this guide for the Camino de Santiago!
