      How about a 24 km, 600 m elevation gain alternative? @Charrito started this whole thing by pointing out that there is a very interesting, abandoned old Pazo on the other side of the river from O Barco. I started searching and found that I could...

      I've been trying to use as few apps as possible to achieve multiple results. With this in mind, on my next camino I'll use the All Trails app. With it I can navigate, attach pictures on the saved trail and share my location with my family. And I...

      Speak to the staff wherever you are staying; they'll advise on where to go to get it checked out. They will be a lot better option to help you rather than someone on the forum. 👍

      I was probably writing my post below while you were posting yours, so my statistics became a little redundant. You said it all. I think the same as you!

      I agree completely, but actually it's those pre-existing medical conditions that make me surprised that we don't have more deaths. An example: cardiovascular disease is the number one Killer worldwide. The CDC statistics (2021) show that the...
