Hola Pilgrims. I need to ship some extra weight home. Viana has a Post Office, which is where I’m heading. Will they have packing supplies there, ie: small box or bag, tape?
Any help is appreciated. Buen Camino!
I leave tomorrow from the US to SJPDP to begin my Camino (Francés). Just want to say “Thank You” to this Forum; I’ve gotten many good ideas, and several questions answered. Hope to report back. Buen Camino!
I feel like a baby bird finally flying the nest.
I feel ya, brother. I, too am on a biologic due to Crohn’s Disease. All I can say is what works for me. As my daughter says, ‘you do you’. I leave for my Camino Monday (Franćes). I’ve been training for the last year. I used Injinji toe liners with Smartwool socks (two layers). I did 1040 km of...
Mark, where can I get something like this? I’m leaving next week and the nervous stress isn’t helping my chronic situation. I’m thinking this might be just what I need on the Camino. Thanks.
Thanks Susan for the info. I tried to buy it through the Forum Store, but check-out told me that “Shipping” would take 2-3 weeks and I’ll be on the Camino before it gets to me; also said the only place to pick up in person was Santiago de Compostela. But I do appreciate the info. Buen Camino.

Ok Pilgrims, quick question. I just paid $39 for a Poncho at a local outdoors store and I’m already planning to return it, because I just saw another Pilgrim say they only paid €4 for one on the trail. So my question is if they do, in fact, sell ponchos in SJPDP for that kind of price.
Please...
Ok, Monty here. Love starting these threads: I learn so much from the Veteran Camino Pilgrims. Thanks in advance. My question: are there so called “Night Hikes” in certain regions to get out and view/explore the awesome stars and constellations on clear nights? I’ve heard about this a few...
In my training walks I might listen to my playlist: a lot of Worship music, but plenty of Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin. Throw in some Andrew Lloyd Webber, Classical and Prince. Guess I know why my wife thinks I’m a little ADHD🤪. But mostly Worship music.
HOWEVER, in Western North Carolina, if...
