    Alternate Route to Uterga ?

    Walking the Camino Frances a second time... good or bad idea?

    I will be doing the camino part 2 in May this year having had to stop on October last year due to problems with heel blisters and other problems. It was a terrible blow to have to stop. What I learned from part 1 of the camino: - don't fool yourself that if you have managed with the blisters...
