Theft in Leon and Logrono
Since 2013 I have spent about 90 days on various caminos (CF, Norte, Primitivo). I have never experienced any direct theft or even heard of it from people I was around. However, what I did find was worse in a way. It was the standard routine of "I have been robbed" and need money to get home...- Shippers

Del Norte advice
Hi MMcA, I did the Norte up to the the Primitivo and followed the Primitivo into SdC. For me and everyone else in my group of 6 the Norte got better the further west we went. There was just too much road walking on busy roads compared to the CF. I got the impression that the pilgrims weren't...- Shippers

What to do if you Lose your Smartphone
I think I get your point ;). I have no problem with address books and journals (ones you write in using a pen that you fill from a bottle). However, I can see how for some people a smartphone provides a psychological handrail and emotional prop at difficult times.- Shippers

What was the biggest surprise of your Camino?
This is an odd one I know......But I have always bitten my finger nails. I don't know why. Nobody else in my family does and I am embarrassed about it. Anyway, on the Camino I don't. Start to finish, 30 days, I just don't. I start again, without thinking, on the flight home. What is that...- Shippers

What to do if you Lose your Smartphone
Yep - I take all of the points you make on board. Maybe it's madness to not take a smartphone. You have: maps and guidebooks; more e-books than you can ever read; radio (even your local station back home); music; streaming video; camera; notebook to jot down thoughts and reflections; torch...- Shippers

What to do if you Lose your Smartphone
I left a mobile phone in a hotel room in Lugo in September whilst on the Primitivo. The manager found it and phoned some people whose numbers were stored (it was unlocked) to let me know. For some reason she was unhappy about posting it to the UK even though I said I would pay. In the end I...- Shippers

Why you should not walk the Camino del Norte (or at least not until you have read this post!)
I did the Camino Norte in September 2018 and I wish I had read Alex's comments before I went. In short, I agree with a lot of what he says. I have done the the full CF and been back twice for 14 day sections so I do have something to compare it with. At Llanes I bailed out and bussed on to...- Shippers
