A day on El Camino for me looks something like this:
 
6 - 6:30am Wake up and get ready for the day
7 - 7:30am Eat a piece of bread, fruit or nuts for breakfast
7:30 - 7:45am Begin hiking
10:30 - 11:30 After going 10 - 15k, I will stop in a cafe for tortilla and fresh orange juice or cafe con leche and take a 45 - 60 min break
3 - 5:00pm I will look for an albergue to spend the night in after going another 10 - 15k
3 - 7pm Take a shower, wash clothes, spend time with other pilgrims around the town
7 - 8:30pm Have a community dinner with other pilgrims
9 - 10pm Go to bed
 
- My longest day so far was 38k and my shortest was 10k
- I wear the same clothes to hike in each day because I wash them each night. If I wash them after 5pm, they will be damp but once I start walking they dry/get sweaty
- I have hiked with people for an hour and up to a few days
- People are very friendly and open
- I have stayed in albergues with as many as 120 people and as few as 2
- Do you have any questions? Ask away!
