Just left this clinic. I was a walk (hobble) in and Ms Gonzalez tended to me in 20 minutes . I had expected a much longer wait so this was a pleasant surprise. 2 minutes from the Cathedral.

Mostly blister relief, cleaned up older heel blisters and then cleaned , medicated then applied some " second skin, a thin film and installed some cushioning around both newer ones. Wrapped everything nicely in those hard to reach places. Gave me some supplies to go. 26 euros
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

I have a suggestion if you do not receive an answer. Caminoteca store in Pamplona, is run by a many time pilgrim and was a huge help to the lady I was walking with. He trimmed the soles of her shoes to prevent future blisters. I am sure he can assist you in finding the help you need with your feet. Buen Camino

I was also about to suggest Caminoteca in Pamplona. It’s just down from the Catedral, past the Bistrot café on the corner (side note: they have very weird art installation toilets in the Bistrot). I had a long chat with the owner of Caminoteca the other week about my very small blisters, which I didn’t want worsening. He’s a mine of knowledge, a really lovely man, and has everything you might need for every aspect of the Camino.

Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
