    Advice for Sleeping Options and Other Advice for Inaugural Pilgrims

    The cathedral in Leon sells pilgrim passes too.

    Who is going to Viloria de Rioja? I forgot to donate in Albergue parada Viloria.

    Hijacking the post a bit. I stayed here 2 years ago and had such a great time. Filmed her making the paella and she was so pleased. This is a great albergue to stay in for those who want a wonderful, communal dinner, or to break up the distances or stay in places not packed with pilgrims.

    Portuguese albergues

    Vila Cha has a municipal as does La Bruge. Both are along the coast route.

    Holed Up With a Nasty Cold

    Have gotten horrid colds or a bad stomach virus on every Camino except the Portuguese Camino that I just finished on Friday. Add in the broken wrist that sent me home on one Camino and I longed for just one normal Camino! Got it this time, so maybe the sickness bad luck streak is finally...

    Bar etiquette

    I return my cups and glasses in Frankfurt quite often, and I did it in Spain quite often too. Especially in the small places where only 1, maybe 2 people were working. Always got a Gracias in return. Is it needed? No, but just something nice to do.

    Break O’Cebreiro climb

    My thighs hurt, but I would certainly ride again! Have never heard anyone say it hurt so bad they wouldn’t do it again.

    Nervous about going alone, without my partner

    Lisa, I wrote my response in January, before anyone knew what kind of scam was happening with WOACA. I would no longer recommend that group to women.

    Break O’Cebreiro climb

    Stayed at Casa Susi in Trabadelo, then walked to La Escuela to overnight. Single beds & great food in the restaurant. Next morning 1.5 km to O Cebrio (sunrise!!!!) then on to Fonfria. Have ridden the horses too & it makes for a unique experience. Use Jacotrans for transport.

    Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice

    Maybe walk up the coast for a few days then train to Valenca & finish from there. We did this in 2018 & it worked well

    What do you wash your clothes with

    I just use shampoo. Brought Dr Bonners last year but didn’t like it for my hair. Shampoo is fine for everything

    Bathroom stops on the camino for female Peregrinas

    Then just use a cloth & wash it out. Why is this not an option for so many women?

    Bathroom stops on the camino for female Peregrinas

    Of course thin pads weigh something. Walk for 45 days & bring along 45 of them. How much does that weigh? Now think about the trash? If over 200,000 women walked at least 1 week? How many thin pads would that be adding to trash? Close to 1.5 million. Sorry, but for me, this is not a good...

    Bathroom stops on the camino for female Peregrinas

    The Kula cloth is nice, but expensive. I just use bandanna squares that get washed in my laundry.

    Liner Socks

    I wear nylons under my socks, but turn both of them inside out so the seams don't rub. A lot cheaper than silk liners. No blisters yet in 5 Caminos.

    Searching for an albergue or hostal to run

    The same one, where this albergue is for rent. It is why I commented on the post - Espinosa.
