Self-Guided Camino: E-Book & Tips

Self-Guided Camino de Santiago: What It Was Really Like

I walked the Camino de Santiago on my own.

I didn’t join a group. I didn’t have a guide. And I didn’t want a romanticized version of the Camino — I wanted clear information, realistic walking days, safe places to sleep, and a route that made sense for a solo traveler.

That’s why I chose to walk the Portuguese Coastal Camino, starting near Porto and finishing in Santiago de Compostela, following the route step by step, day after day. I planned it as a self-guided Camino, carried only what I needed, and used luggage transfer so I could focus on walking instead of logistics.

This e-book exists for one simple reason:
I couldn’t find a guide that told me what I really needed to know before walking the Camino.

Most Camino content talks about emotions and spirituality. Very little explains:

• how long each walking day actually feels

• where to stay as a solo traveler, the best lodging, and the locations

• how safe the route is

• how to plan an itinerary that doesn’t exhaust you

• what works — and what doesn’t — on a self-guided Camino de Santiago

I wrote this guide as a pilgrim, based entirely on my own experience walking the Camino.
It is not a Camino tour, and it is not a guided tour for travelers looking to walk with a group or follow a guide. This guide is for those who want to experience the Camino independently, at their own pace, using real, first-hand information from someone who actually walked the route.

Everything in this e-book is based on my real pilgrimage experience walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, from the Portuguese border through Galicia, all the way to Santiago de Compostela. Distances, accommodations, food stops, luggage services, and daily stages are exactly what I used — not theory, not copied routes.

If you’re considering walking the Camino at your own pace, especially from Porto to Santiago, or if you’re planning the last 100km to Santiago de Compostela, this guide will save you time, mistakes, and unnecessary stress.
