Before I get asked any questions of what it was like to do Camino during Covid / Corona pandemic: It was safe, we was temperature scanned in many albergues, also our hands, bags and shoes where disinfected. We had social distancing with beds and albergues where very clean.

Do I think it was good time to go? Yes, anytime is good time to do Camino just be careful as you would in your own country. Spain was much stricter than UK and face masks had to be worn in any public places including villages, towns and city's. Check with your own countries and Spain's guidelines.

Was it busy? It was very quite only around 40 pilgrims per day, which many people preferred however this was very strange for me as I have done this 2 times previously but only to be expected with pandemic. However same Camino spirit was still there but I was walking some days for 10 hours and not seeing another pilgrim. It did make us more closer and aimed to stay in same places as we was much smaller group than normal.

Weather - It was very hot every single day, around 35 degrees and only really saw rain day after I got to Santiago. Always check weather before going on Camino yourself as weather is known to be very un-predictable in North of Spain be prepared for rain.

Safe - Yes its very safe, however I have uploaded another video on here which shows man who has been stealing from Pilgrims when they have paid for his food and albergues to stay in. Keep your money with you and anything valuable. I've heard of this before but first time on my 3rd Camino its happened whilst I have been walking.

Hope you enjoy video, I know I have watched so many videos on youtube before doing my first Camino and also to see places I've saw on Camino after I got home. I appreciate all effort everyone has made with taking video's as know from personal experience sometimes its last thing you want to do when you can barely walk is take videos and also carrying extra equipment. Plus there is alot of effort that goes into making video when you get home.

Buen Camino
