Has anyone here walked the Way of St. James?
I was thinking of doing it this summer after I graduate. How should I plan it out?
depends. Will i have to leave portugal or enter it?

I think you can choose any route as long as you reach Santiago de Compostela
>>52207728
No, thankfully.
Shit. Do I need to bring cash with me, or do the Spaniards accept mastercard?
I know this is late but I'm in Santiago, ask me anything.

Hey buddy, do you plan on walking the entire way ? I'm a native to Le Puy-en-Velay (look at Le Puy route on the French part of your map), I could therefore help you in the first stage town.
Ask me any information.

No, but I did the Chartres Pilgrimage.

What are temperatures like around this time of year? How about in the summer?
I'm considering it as well but there's no way I'm walking all that in 25+°C weather 2bh.

In all the Northern Spain the temperature is very moderate and humid in winter, rains everyday.
Also not very hot in summer, in Santiago this summer we only had 2 days with 30ºC, most of the time it barely gets more than 25ºC.
I reccomend early spring to do it.

fuck I can't english when drunk
I haven't walked but I've taken a bus from Portugal to Santiago de Compostella. Well worth a visit.
I live in a village in the Coast of Death but I stay most of the week in santiago, in summer the bus I take is fucking Babel.
I perfected my english with quite some people thanks to that.

Apologies for the cultural enrichment
I'm so sad OP is gone, I almost never get to talk to foreigners, please culturally enrich me ;_;

I talk to french people with a mix of gestures, the little french I know and writing with the fingers on the seats. Quite the accomplishment, It was fun.

Most pilgrims these days start at Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port
>>52209004
Do most locals speak English? I plan to learn a bit of Spanish before I leave, but I'm not sure if I should try to become fluent.
>>52209153
>tfw you want to do Le Puy route but don't know more than 2 words of French
>>52210235
No, only young people tend to speak english, but in santiago people are used to tourists from wherever. Even if they don't speak your language if you have a map and show where you wanna go they'll tell you gladly, with a very bad spanglish. But you should at least learn the basics: left, right, how much and those basic things.

I survived with 1 semester of American high-school Spanish
Spain looks so comfy.
How easy would it be for a Canadian to culturally enrich your cunt?
>>52210235
Spaniards have probably the worst grasp on English I've encountered in Western Europe. It's pretty mindboggling because the Portuguese generally have a good command of English.

We were at war once and you stole our empanadas.
You don't mess with galicians and their food.
Never forgive, never forget.
