    Hello, I'd appreciate any advice on where to buy an electronic cigarette liquid in Leon - I restocked in Burgos, but probably will run out before Santiago. A quick Google search doesn't show any dedicated vaping ships in Leon, but I figured some of you might know a place one could buy some...

    Spring camino Francés - wondering about timing

    Hello, after walking the Norte last autumn, I'm starting to think about doing the Francés. Certainly not this year, but, maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to go next spring.

    Pre-first camino nerves

    I'm starting my first camino on friday. Until now, I've been pretty excited, and looking forward to my first vacation this year.

    Where do you carry your valuables?

    Hi all, I'm wondering what system do you use to carry your valuables (passport, cash, credit cards etc)? Do you reccomend carrying them outside the backpack in some sort of a fanny pack?

    Camino del Norte in October, I have a few questions. Any insight much appreciated.

    Hello everybody, after a couple of years thinking about it, I finally made the decision to go on my first camino. I'm not a big fan of hot weather and large gatherings of people, so after a bit of researching I opted for the Camino del Norte from Bilbao (to wherever I can walk before my...
