Swingers Camino.....thoughts??
Jump to: Newest in thread
Maybe a group of swingers might start together , and see how far they get with blisters, sore legs, fatigue, etc. To be honest, exhaustion and tiredness, might force even the most hardened swingers to have early nights. However, I've done el Camino, and I'm a swinger, so, yes, it can be done. |

For a couple of years I've been laying the groundwork for a Camino, but ideally outside the high season and the high temperatures.
To combine two of my main interests would be ideal; with meets with local like minded folk along the main route.
I have watched numerous videos online about the obvious aspects of a good camino, but have found nothing about Spanish or French swingers. |

It's very easy to develop friendships while walking the Camino. In fact it would be difficult not to, such is the camaraderie and shared sense of adventure, and all heading in the same direction. And in every group I've walked with, many romances developed. Ive looked for Tantra massage along the entire Camino frances and couldn't find any. I never looked for swingers, as the craic and friendship was so satisfying. |

"Can you guys please help me with some feedback in regards to possibly launching a trip ....just putting out feelers for opinions."
Accommodation might be your biggest issue. Most places tend to be travel hostels so there’s zero privacy. |

There are many different Camino routes in France, Spain, Portugal but by far the most popular is the Santiago; accommodation in the high season is a big issue, in fact a nightmare
That's why I would go out of season, and to combine group swinging would be a plus.
There is an interesting video online about doing a Camino in the depths of winter, but not for the faint-hearted.
There is piles of advice, some of it contradictory.
A high level of fitness and very well tested gear is a prerequisite.
I am a seasoned walker but I find the prospect a bit daunting; I personally need to be well rested. A night of swinging, would need to be followed by a day of leisure or very low mileage, in order to fully recover.
Definitely more research to be done this year. |

I have completed on many occasions the certain routes listed above ...and, although the opportunity for fun would be limited I'm thinking more along the lines of creating friends and possibilities for when we return home plus the chance to have a fantastic journey |

Very nice thought and makes complete sense. This year's trips all booked up, but would be interested as I'm hoping to do Bilbao to Santander and maybe more in May'24, would welcome company |

From what I have read and watched online about the Caminos, the camaraderie on these pilgrimages is unparalelled, and in fact some individuals have been so smitten by this unusual spiritual experience, that they have never gone home.
Swinging on the caminos is probably a rarety, but the sense of camaraderie from two standpoints (sex and spiriruality) would be particularly interesting. |

The various Camino routes are all very attractive, but a serious level of fitness and preparation is mandatory for a Primitivo.
I have committed myself to a couple of years of very serious walking to upskill my fitness and whittle down my gear to the basics and little else.
I normally walk alone in training but the esprit de corps of a Camino is very enticing, possibly with a period of cold turkey on returning to Ireland, NOT to look forward to! |

Done Sarria to Santiago last June, prepared by starting off with 2 mile walks and built it up to 10 miles. Really loved doing the camino. Booked apartments/ hotels through booking.com. . Aiming to go again in mid June. Great camaraderie on it and made lots of friends. |

Aside from the perennial accommodation issue, that has grown exponentially and is likely to get worse as the Caminos become more popular, the only adverse aspect is the thought of returning home after just having had a spiritual and uplifting experience with like-minded peregrinos. |

"On the Camino Primitivo in summer, what are the usual temperatures, both during the day and, crucially at night?
I need to sleep in a cool room to be full refreshed!"
You would be better booking single rooms for yourself. Last years temps were around mid 20s and a couple of days in the 30s. That was end of June beginning of July. There are several Facebook groups dealing with all the different casinos. I found it very helpful last time. |

I walked the French route last year. Quite simple, if you’re walking with someone you have a bit of chemistry with, just propose to book a twin room together. You can guess the rest, voila! It worked for me ?? |

We would love to start our own path (camino) as some on here are aware the cork to Youghal path (former railway line) is being redeveloped as a Camino come walk/cycle path
So our plan is for campsites too be set up from Cork to Waterford and extend the path all the way to Dungarvan
Our plan is submitted to both ccc and wcc we await their response also we would love too make Youghal beach nudist only as it perfectly located on the route
Sunny south east Camino we can’t wait to hear from all you guys a 500 euro deposit is expected with any interest
Please forward your bank account details along with face pics and your mother’s maiden name and the last 3 digits on the back of your card
Yours hopefully

Still waiting to get back to finish my camino. Covid fecked it up. Did SJPDP to Logrono in 2018 (6 days, 170km) and Logroño to Leon in 2019 (9 days, 320 km). Hoping to get back this year to finish it. My plan is to set up a hostel on the Camino within the next 8 years and retire there. |

"I thought this was a Christian pilgrimage thing? Maybe not so compatible with us fornicators looking to fornicate"
Not necessarily Christian any more, more spiritual. Everyone has their own beliefs, so fornicate away, it's good for the soul |

Ha, that's exactly what I want to do. And provide yoga classes to the perigrinos |

Statistically, peregrinos are rather unlikely to be interesting in swinging whilst on a pilgrimage to a religious destination; it is not impossible but I would not put a bet on it.
If you do want to swing after having walked in a blistering temperature all day, the best option is to bring a partner or better still a group who have this unusual dual interest and also phenomenal energy
Contact with French and Spanish swingers groups in or near the Pyrenees is also an option, but there may be language barriers, at least in the initial period! |

Stage 8 Sarria to Santiago looks like there's plenty of opportunities on it. |

Full French Camino from Roncesvalles to Santiago de Compostela takes 25 days and some fitnesses is needed.
However is posible to get the “Compostela” by walking 100 km out of Santiago to Santiago.
Accommodation can be manage as Camino goes through medium size cities (Burgos, Palencia, etc) in some others, the smallest, always hostal or hotel can be booked but need to do in advance.
French Camino goes through some old fashioned and narrow mind places so I wouldn’t recommend to make any display out.
There are some others caminos on the Cost line ( Santander for instance) easy to reach and cheep in Ryanair. |

There are lots of routes within Europe that can be completed as part of the Camino, but the main route has become so popular that accommodation in the high season is the critical issue to resolve, well in advance.
Camaraderie is important but being packed into a large dormitory with the inevitable snorer to keep everyone awake is not my idea of an enjoyable trip.
Thankfully there is a vast amount of high quality information available on Google video to digest in advance from peregrinos with lots of experience. |
