    Have you walked gluten-free?

    Hello. Just spotted this. I met a girl who had these requirements plus many allergies and she did carry a lot of extra food with her needless to say a lot of extra weight and preparing your own meals. I don't think the pilgrim menus will cater for you and not many big chain supermarkets on the...

Also not sure about all the allergies but have been told the pilgrims office in st jean should have all the info when you arrive. Booking my flight tomorrow on 10th so will be a few days behind you

No matter where you stay in Barcelona you can jump on the metro to sants district. Is only a short walk to the station. You can buy a metro card from...

    Hey. I use sorbothane double strike insoles. Gods padded ones. Recently I've been using superfeet insoles which aren't really padded but are foot correcting soles and seem to be doing well. As far as bed bugs go I walked in summer of 2012 and heard reports of them in ponferada so skipped the...

    Booking ahead and boot panic attack

    I wore heavy leather boots on my Camino and am planning to on my next. I wear meindl Burma pros. I found a lot of people hurt their feet on some particularly rocky sections of the Camino. Something I didn't even notice with my boots so from my experience I would stick with the boots

    I remember logrono it was a nice place and some good food. I hung out with all the koreanos who were photo bombing everyone's photos. I am hoping to get to Burgos or beyond in my 2 weeks and then get a bus to Leon or Madrid to get a flight back to the uk. Madrid might be the better option but I...

    Camping on the Camino Frances

    Hello. I walked in 2012 and planned to camp the whole way. I reluctantly ended up ditching my tent on day 4 and unfortunately couldn't ditch any more weight as my gear was expensive so had to carry it the whole way. Albergues are much cheaper than you think and a better atmosphere plus less...
