I'm sorry, but I don't know exactly what kind of poles you'd find :(
I'm going to buy my walking poles in Madrid, hoping I'll find something decent & not too expensive.
Maybe someone on this forum has purchased some in SJPP & could share what they found? :)
Otherwise, if you don't want to...
Great list!
Are you checking your bag on the flights? If you plan on carrying it on, there's a very high chance they won't let you take your walking sticks. I've heard it both ways, someone always manages to catch airport security on a lax day & gets to keep them, but more often than not they...
HalfDomeOrBust, did the insurance through Delta include Medical? I've seen some travel insurance that are only specifically for flight/hotel reservations. I would call Delta & check to see exactly what's covered. Make sure you mention that you'll be walking the Camino, just in case there's...

How many hours did you average daily on the road?
Hello Willem! :)

I found they gave me a slightly better rate than bookit & priceline.
I got a double, but it looks...
Hello Ilia! :)
I just booked my train from Madrid to Oviedo. It is about 4 and a half hours & there where only 2 departures, an early morning (just past 7) and a mid morning (around 10). Because I'm flying in from the United States I'm losing a day. I leave on Tuesday & my flight doesn't get to...
A friend of mine just sent this same video to me this past weekend as motivation to prepare for my Camino, lol :D
I loved it & am considering doing the same, although I'm not sure it will be as visually interesting since his was 5 months worth of changes & mine will be 3 weeks max (I'm walking...
