    Accommodation that offers hosted dinners ?

    When are you walking the Coastal? We are going in September and I’m also very interested in, not only the communal meals, but favorite Albergue’s along those same routes as well.

    Question about adding Alert Cops

    Thanks for your response. I was finally able to get it working. They were amazing to work with once we got together. It’s working perfectly now. I’m really happy you’re having an amazing time. I’m jealous, our first Camino isn’t until September.

    Question about adding Alert Cops

    I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to get set up. I’m +1 and they finally told me their provider would send me the SMS code and not to close the app. They said they were staffed 24 h and I would receive the SMS code. I didn’t want to miss it so I stayed up until 4am waiting for it, but it never...

    Socks

    Good point. We walk about 5 miles a day now, but will bump it up substantially this summer in preparation for our Camino, so I’ll be trying several different types and combinations of socks.

    Socks

    You cracked me up! You sound like me, between socks and underwear I could have afforded a first class ticket to Porto. I like the idea of turning your socks inside out. I tried it and you’re right about the bumps. I found them in two different brands.

    What thickness of Darn Toughs did you use?

    Socks

    I really hadn’t thought about my toenails, but that makes sense.

    That did help. I’m going with wool.

    Socks

    It did help. I’m thinking wool is my best bet.

    Socks

    I know this has probably been beaten to death, but I’m trying to figure out what socks to wear in September on the Portuguese coastal route. I’ve got a couple of different wool socks and several different liners. I have some Omni wool medium cushion socks, a pair of smart wool light cushion...

    Is Pontevedra a 'must visit' city?

    Where is the Hotel Rural? The spa sound great!

    Second Camino Left me feeling Unfulfilled

    I’m totally sorry I posted this! First, I have no earthy clue what pilgrims contribute to the local economy, and second I need to remember we are guests in their country. I’m sure that there are just as many, if not more people who have had a fantastic Portuguese Camino. We’ve spent quite a...

    Re-considering zip-off convertible pants

    I’ve had Columbia zip offs in the past and didn’t care for them. I bought a pair of Kuhl zip offs and just spent 20 days in Columbia hiking all over the place. I like them so much I’m thinking about buying a second pair. They aren’t the easiest to attach the legs while you’re wearing the...

    Second Camino Left me feeling Unfulfilled

    I’m sorry my statement bothers you! You clearly have never owned a retail business have you? As I stated we had over 10 times the number of tourists as all the Caminos’ combined. That was through a single town of 7000. I totally understand the simple economics of tourism. Portugal relies...
