standard of living/quality of life in Spain
I have visited Spain every year since 2022 and headed back in September for 3 months. I usually stay 45-80 days. I say that to give you a sense of my experience there. I am an American but of Spanish descent (in fact there’s a small town 100 KM east of Madrid that Carrie’s my last name). My...- RickyBGood

place to sleep
I’m offering my novice advice as this is my first camino. I’m starting August 27 from San Sebastián. For a myriad of reasons, but mainly, starting in late august, I booked accommodations for the initial 14 days —as a script. This assured me that I had a place to sleep which is critical to a long...- RickyBGood

Pack weight question
Hey there! I start my camino Aug 27 from San Sebastián to Santiago. I too am from Florida. Have you hiked/walked with pack and bladder full of water? I suggest trying out how that feels rather than taking stuff out. It’s my first camino but not my first backpacking. Rick from Tampa- RickyBGood

I have decided to take 2 pairs of shoes—my Salomon Goretex ankle boots and a pair of trail runners. However looking at my route and projected and average rainfall in the month of September...- RickyBGood

Industrial Walking along the Norte...
This will be my first camino. I’ve been planning it for about 8 months. Like you, I’m flying from US to Madrid and training the next day to San Sebastián. I’m returning to Madrid Oct 1 for another 30 day stay and my wife will join me. For me I plan to walk an average of 22-24KM per day. I have...- RickyBGood
