I wanted to provide a list of planning resources for those that are planning to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Here you will find a comprehensive list of everything you need to know. You may have a million questions and in this post you will find helpful tips to make your journey the best it can be. As summer draws near, I am beginning to get many emails from those that have read my book and are planning their own journeys. I always refer them to the planning resources section of the site here, but this post is even more comprehensive. Look no further.

It’s perfect timing, for many of us are planning for upcoming Caminos. I leave in just 12 days for my pre-Camino trip to Portugal. It’s an exciting time. Squee! 🙂
