[Gocamino] Questions about the Camino

[Robert Spenger]

If you are willing to carry just the items that you really need on the walk, like 15-20 pounds or even less, you don't need any guidance. That is what most of the people in the Gocamino group have done and that includes many, many well over 60yo. You would have to pick up a pilgrim's passport in Sarria in order to stay in official refugios if you want to do that.

If you have a lot of other luggage, it can be shipped ahead.

We are planning to walk the last segment of the Camino in September, 2011. 
My family will be vacationing in Barcelona and my daughter and I will 
stay on for another week to do the segment from Sarria to Santiago.  We 
are celebrating our birthdays - my 60th, her 30th.  Even though we have 
done quite a bit of international travel, I am a little anxious about 
tackling this adventure on our own.   I am not interested in going with a 
tour group but I would like to know if anyone knows of any inexpensive 
guides who might help coordinate the walk or if anyone knows of a good , 
reputable organization that is not about charging for a more luxurious 
trip but could just provide some guidance, and maybe assist with meals and 
moving baggage.  Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
