I hit Los Arcos and continued on to Viana...hardest day of my Camino. Next time, I will stop in Torres del Rio

My friends love them, I don't. You just have tor try them before you go and see which is best for you.

To those who have walked the Camino.... do y'all suggest using walking sticks for the trek? Thank you!

That's a personal decision. I don't/didn't use walking sticks.

I strongly recommend the sticks... ..did a lot of difference in my two caminos..especially, as you say going up steep hills they help a lot.

Even more important for going down hill, when you reallly test your knees. (plant pole ahead of your foot and lean into to it).
