    Tibial fracture after 600 km on French Camino

    Hey there! I wanted to chat about my experience on the 2017 Camino Frances. I'm pretty average physically, maybe a tad overweight, did some training (could've done more), and could've lightened my backpack a bit.

    Hint on using headphones while walking (while keeping interactions and for better sleeping)

    It's set... I'll leave Brazil on April 12th and start my "camino" from SJPP on April 14th... My return ticket is from Lisbon on May 25th so I guess I'll have plenty of time...

    Please help me decide which way to go!!!!

    Hi! I am a first time peregrino planning on doing a way of Santiago on May next year. First I was planning on doing the French way but I am kind of afraid of it being too crowded (I am looking for a more solitary experience). So I started to research and found that the Via de La Plata is a less...
