Way of St. James (El Camino de Santiago de Compostela)

[TheSilent]

Did you walk it? How did you walk it (the route)? When did you walk it? How did you plan it? What was your budget? What did you pack? How were the accommodations? How was the whole experience? Do you have any recommendation?

I want to know every single thing about it as I want to take on this challenge (leaving from Utrecht or maybe Paris) very soon.

In advance, thank you very much for your stories and recommendations!
