Route for 2016?

Francine and I have been noodling about what our second Camino – our first full Camino together – will look like.

First off, we’re going to take it slow.

Our initial thought is to fly out of Seattle on Easter Sunday 2016 and in to Barcelona. From there, we’ll catch a Ryan Air flight to Lourdes and spend a day there.

Then we’ll take a train from Lourdes to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and spend the night there, hopefully at Beilari, which used to be L’Esprit du Chemin.

And then, the walk begins. We will walk the Camino Francés, the same route I walked in 2013.

Our plan is to spend a rest day in the Cathedral cities, more or less.

When we arrive at Santiago, we’ll probably spend a couple of days there before taking a Ryan Air flight back to Barcelona. We’d like to spend a couple of days there before heading home.

This is, I must stress, all extremely preliminary. We shall see what we decide as the months count down.
