Merida reacted to sun is shining's post in the thread Questions Invierno and San Salvador with
Like.
I found some of the descents on the Salvador ridiculously steep (anything after the highest point at the Salvador cross and San Miguel del Rio) - but I haven’t walked the Primitivo yet so can’t tell you if they are steeper or not. I wore mountain... -
In general, I found the San Salvador pretty similar in the ways you ask about (terrain, heat, navigation) to the Primitivo. Just a lot more concentrated since it is less than half as long. A day to get into the mountains. Several days of gorgeous...

I'm just back from the Camino del Salvador and will give a small report of my journey. I decided to do it in five stages and stay in private accommodation. My first stage was Leon to La Robla. I followed the river path all the way to Carbajal...

jungleboy, DoughnutANZ, Rita Flower, David, Thank you all for your replies and advice. Stand up straight, consult a physiotherapist, and walk like a Roman! I feel better already!

Merida reacted to jungleboy's post in the thread Magna Via Francigena - April 2024 with Love - Red heart.
Today I arrived in one of my favourite cities in Italy, Palermo, ready to start a solo walk across Sicily on the Magna Via Francigena tomorrow! It’s a ~185km trail from Palermo to Agrigento that I aim to complete in 8-9 days. The MVF is the most...

Merida reacted to t2andreo's post in the thread Phones, Sim Cards, Choices and Questions, Oh, So Many Questions! with Like.
I have used t-Mobile as my provider for many years. As t-Mobile is originally a German company, they have a very large presence and many roaming partners in Europe. The plan I have, which costs USD $54 monthly, includes UNLIMITED text and data...

I agree, usually my time in Madrid is short and I use it for getting a few supplies before I catch my train for my starting point. Since walking poles in Spain only cost $20-30 a set, I don’t mind buying them and donating them on my way out...
