You never get ready for the Camino. As a matter of fact, it would be silly to even think about preparation. The Camino de Santiago can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the pshysical challenge is simply a key part of the experience.

The Camino is about walking hundreds of kilometers, often in the middle of nowhere.

The Camino is about having limited access to shops, services and your social network, for weeks.

The Camino is a pilgrimage, and Deprivation and Discomfort are a key part of a pilgrimage – otherwise it wouldn’t be called pilgrimage, it would be called “The Guided Tour de Santiago de Compostela”.
