      RRat replied to the thread Silk liners can't take hot dryer? What do if bed bugs?.
      Common wisdom on line is the use of a silk liner. But on two Caminos, both SJPDP to Santiago, around 30+ days, Apr/May and Sep/Oct, can't ever recall seeing a silk liner on a bunk. Every bunk had a sleeping bag. My sleeping bag was a $30 bag...

      RRat reacted to good_old_shoes's post in the thread LIVE from the Camino For those worried about beds... with Like Like.
      ...I am on day eight of walking the Francés at the moment. It is quite busy. A lot of talk about beds (and the need to book ahead). I don't book. Today I tried really hard not to get a bed. I really tried. Got up late. Took my time to pack...

      RRat replied to the thread How does one travel from the train station Madrid Chamartin to Madrid Barajas airport?.
      Bus or train to Atocha Station. Exit Atocha station to the circle where all the buses load and unload. There is a shuttle bus that will take you directly to the airport. Just walk around the circle and you will either see the post that indicates...

      RRat replied to the thread Two backpacks?.
      One backpack and a blue Ikea bag for luggage transfer. A regular size backpack with just the days essentials will feel light. But can also carry everything if you desire.

      RRat replied to the thread 7 day Camino - Sarria to Santiago 110KM.
      Skip the Camino walking part. Barcelona, Madrid, Santiago, and other places to visit, would be a better use of your time. What makes the Camino so rewarding is becoming part of the experience. Otherwise it's just a walk in the countryside...

      RRat replied to the thread Ordering beer in Spain.
      I just point while looking tired and thirsty. Works every time. And always express gratitude. Sometimes gets me a tapa and conversation with the bartender.

      RRat replied to the thread Sleeping bag or Sleeping bag liner.
      If you already own this bag use it. At 800g it is just a tad heavy. I've walked two Caminos, Sep/Oct and Apr/May, SJPDP to Santiago and didn't always need my sleeping bag but on many nights glad I had it. Funny thing, in all the nights in...

      RRat replied to the thread Should I bring my own Mercado bag?.
      Yes, always had a very light weight bag stuffed in my pocket while wandering around. 1.8oz. It was a free promotional item.

      RRat replied to the thread Wise Pilgrim or Buen Camino or both?.
      Two SJPDP to Santiago, 2013 and 2023, 30+ days each. Pilgrim's that weren't using apps seem to be doing well. Encountered a handful of pilgrims that felt lost and they were all dependent on apps.
