Note From Rolf

Dear fellow hiker, whether you're an experienced nomad who has traversed the globe, or someone who is embarking on a Camino for the very first time, it's easy to feel daunted by the task of planning your trip. 


I have created the following  PDF guides to accompany you on your Camino.

Regardless of your budget or preferred travel style, my guides have got you covered. From sumptuous luxury hotels to cozy, budget-friendly albergues, I've included a wide range of accommodation options and  the best places to indulge in the local cuisine, quench your thirst, and explore the hidden gems of your destination.

The guides have clickable Google Map links for the hotels and restaurants, so be sure you have the Google Maps app installed on your device.

Camino Packing Guide


Two of the biggest mistakes people make when setting off on the Camino is overthinking and overpacking with what they will need for a long walk.

I myself was very guilty of this on my first Camino, this is why I am including a basic packing checklist as a guideline for you to follow so that you do not make the same mistake..
Weight is your biggest enemy when walking, if you don’t pay attention to how much you are carrying in your backpack sooner or later your back or feet will pay the price.

A good rule of thumb is that your pack should not weigh more than 10% of your body weight. If you stick to that rule you will definitely have a much more pleasant and easy walk.
