I am only type II but has since moved down to pre-diabetic levels when I started training. During the Camino, I was finishing half...

    Camino Pilgrim from the Philippines

    might be anti-climactic and more expensive, but that's just me thinking out loud. better to see the prize at the end as you will literally catch your breath when you first get a glimpse of the spires from Mount Joy. from Madrid you can buy na the tickets, I forget if its A Coruna-Sarria or just...

    How much cash to carry?

    300 seems ok, then replenish at 150. It'll be cold out still in April so its better that you have spare cash.

    Type of shoes

    I'd use platforms and touring shoes if I were you. It was hard for me to walk on cobbles and inside the church with my cleats on.

    Backpack Taxis?

    it's amazing how people can still be jaded after experiencing the Camino. I sneakily took a picture of a group of aged people taking a cab in Villafrance del Bierzo. During the assault to O Cebreiro, had lots of difficulty with the snow. An Asian with no warm clothes and only with raingear...
