I take it you know that if you have a Santander bank account you can withdraw cash using your debit card from a Santander ATM abroad for free and you will get a good exchange rate too.
Nothing at all wrong with that. I am hoping to walk solo later this year, a plan postponed from 2020. I like to please myself where to stop,eat,spend time and set my own walking pace. It doesn’t matter what other people think, do what you want to do. Buen Camino
I stayed in private rooms in Hontanas, think it was the Casa Rural hotel. I loved it in Hontanas, small but pretty village with a fab little restaurant and lovely bars to sit outside. It has a really lovely church, went to a mass there which was lovely. A very friendly place and I would...
I treated my rucksack with Permethrin both inside and out. Everything in my rucksack was separated in either dry sacs or ziplock food bags. I took 2 large black bin liners and when I had reached my Albergue everything was placed in a bin liner including the rucksack and sealed with a clip. I had...
In Tenerife the government has closed all hiking trails in the National park. I feel it is only a matter of time before this is extended to the Camino.
I am due to start the CF on May 21st. I have decided to wait until mid April to see what the situation is then. Not sure if this is a good idea or not, difficult decision.
Unfortunately I am not able to walk the entire Camino due to time constraints. Having walked from Logrono to Sahagun last year,this May I am starting at SJPDP and ending at Logrono. Having caught the Camino bug I can't wait to start and hope to meet some of you along the way!
If you search packing lists on this forum there are a couple of really good ones. Everything I took I separated into either a dry sac or ziploc bag so I always knew where everything was. Everyone has different ideas of what they think is necessary, I put all my options on a bed and then...
I walked with friends last year but in truth spent most of the day walking on my own as we liked to walk at different speeds. This year I am returning to walk another chunk of the Frances but on my own, although I expect I will end up walking a bit with camino family I meet on the way.
Hi Nili, I will be walking in May also having walked in July last year. My clothing will be lightweight and multi functional. Think layers, quick drying and breathable. Poncho to cover my pack, flip flops and very lightweight sandals to give my feet a break after a days walking. Thin 1 season...
Tortilla was my fuel for the Camino, sometimes bought an extra piece and had it wrapped to take with me as a snack. Croissants were a good alternative. I always keep a bag of nuts in the top of my rucksack in case I felt my energy levels dipping at any time, if you can find the bags of honey...
