    did you need medical care on and after the camino

    I finished my camino very recently and after walking 2 weeks aprox 25 km or more per day I got just small blisters on my heels and they didn't disturb walking. Basically I didn't have problems.

    Gracias! :) Congrats to u too! I just arrived to Muxia, but I guess, I like the place more than Finisterra. Less touristic. Will explore it later :)

    best way to travel to astorga

    Hello Pilgrims, I plan to take an ALSA bus to Astorga from Barcelona on 28 August, but to purchase a ticket online is unfortunately not made easy for foreigners (I'm wondering why?!). Anyway, how high is the probability that there are plenty of tickets left to buy one at the point of sale in...

    Raincoat-Poncho

    Thank you, dougfitz, for the info! Actually I found out from this forum that the weather is quite unpredictable, so there's no point to ask, what is the weather going to be. I just decided that I'll take both - a rain jacket and a poncho. Easier choise :-)

    Best way to get from Santiago to Barcelona?

    Thanks, Peter, for approving my plans! :-) Def there are different options to get to Brc, also walking ;-), but the fastest and the most convenient way to pass long distances is flying.

    How do you travel with money on the Camino?

    Hola, since I'm going to walk Camino for the first time (from Astorga), I was wondering about paying systems in Spain. I understand that paying for the nights in the albergues you must need cash.
