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...

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...
We have a very heterogeneous group present on the camino. Great variation in ages, nationalities, distance and time covered, physical fitness... In an attempt to standardize an analysis, I would choose to have statistics on the Spanish people...
