Welcome to EpicCamino.com

I created this website to help you plan your Camino.

At the heart of it is my guide to the Camino Francés. Rather than sticking to the usual daily stages, I’ve broken it into natural sections to help you avoid the big crowds and spend more time in the quieter villages that often get overlooked.

Also, I haven’t listed every place to stay—just the ones that really stood out to me, especially the donativo albergues, where the sense of community and shared meals make things feel magical.

And you won’t find step-by-step directions here—the yellow arrows are all you need. But I have included a few special detours, like the Dragonte route, if you’re up for a bit of adventure and want to walk in more peace and quiet.

Finally, there’s also a section of top 10 lists—like 10 albergues you shouldn’t miss, or 10 books to read before you go.

I hope this site helps with your planning. And if you have tips to share, I’d love to hear from you.

Buen Camino!
