First of all, many people skip sections due to time constraints, health and other reasons.
If you want to skip a stage and are in a place where there is taxi service to take you to the beginning of the next stage that same day then you can skip a stage and walk the subsequent stage easily in a...
When I walked the CF last August and September , I wore LL Bean's Vista Trekking Skort. It is a skirt with soft lightweight mesh shorts underneath that do not ride up. On colder mornings I wore my Costco merino wool blend long underwear underneath the skirt but over the the shorts to keep...
Thank you for the suggestion Joe. My husband and I walked the extra stage from Catrojeriz to Fromista in September. It was one of the most beautiful stages on the Camino!
Has anyone shipped a bag ahead several stages in one go? We are planning to take a bus from Fromista to Astorga with a stop in Leon in a single day. We would like to send our transport bag ahead to Astorga. How does this work with the transport companies? Would the bag make it to Astorga in one...
The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S 4.
I got a quick glance of a message on the screen earlier today and I thought it said " this phone accpts incoming calls only" That seems strange to me.
When we removed the Sim card, we removed a little red card. Now I am wondering if there is more to the Simcard...
We are currently in San Sabastian for a few days before we start our Camino on August 24th. The reason I asked the question is that our phone shows some data usage for our time in Spain even though we removed the SIM card before we boarded the plane in Canada.
I am doing some last minute packing and I have a question about electrical adaptors. I bought a Plug adaptor kit for Europe. I believe Spain uses a type C adaptor, however my kit contains two kinds of Type C adaptors, one is 4.0mm and the other is 4.8mm. Which one is for use in Spain and...
Thank you Falcon269. The package and the instructions in it, do not mention Compeed but when I searched on-online the Walgreens site mentions Compeed. After reading much about Compeed on this forum, I am a little afraid of it for blister care. Should I be?
We currently have a Orange Spanish flip phone bought in 2010 when my husband walked the Camino. We want to have a phone that we can for the internet when we walk the Camino later this month.
We have a very heavy Samsung Galaxy on a Virgin Mobile plan in Canada, which we can unlock for $50...
What happens to my pack when I don't reach my destination in a particular day? I would assume that it would remain at the destination until I get there the next day. Is this an issue for the staff there?
Also, If I arrive at a destination and I don't like the accommodations, is it frowned upon...
I have several questions about Keen Whisper or Venice sandals.
Has anyone worn Keen Whisper or Venice sandals on the route from SJPDP to Santiago during August and September?
How much break in time was needed for these sandals?
Where they your primary footwear?
Were the sandals suitable...
My husband and I will be walking the CF in August and September and he wants to walk from Santiago to Muxia and Finisterre in four days afterwards.
I don’t want to walk it, but would be interested in taking the bus to meet him in the town where he is staying each night. Is it possible to take...
