My son bought me a pair of Women's size 16 regular length Peter Storm trousers with double zip off. That is at shorts and 'shlongs' level. Nice quality walking trousers, New and unworn but too big and also need a new zip. I think he'd got them on offer and just hadn't noticed the zip. I imagine...
You seem to have picked the coldest time of year. In February don't imagine that it won't be very cold and or windy in some of the higher ground because its pretty damn cold here at the moment. (I'm on the edge of the Sierra de Aracena) (Sunny today) So do check that out before you set off. I...
Another piece of advice someone said somewhere (could even have been here) which has stood me in very good stead ever since. Always wear two pairs of socks and take them off and dry them or change them at every long stop (coffee or lunch). I have never pulled very long days but I'm still a...
I know this is an old thread but I wanted to pipe up on it. Firstly I hope you went on the Camino and had a wonderful time MaWinMex. I have a urostomy (also post Cancer surgery) and I've been on 2 x 3 day 'bits' of Camino. Once from Logrono onwards and once down south on the Camino Mozarabe...
Just done the Cordoba to Cerro Muriano leg. Wow its beautiful. Wow its steep! Those were hard days for us novices. We split them up by using buses backwards and forwards from the smaller places. Because of the rain in Cordoba last week we only did 3 days on the Camino. 1) Cordoba to an outlying...
Legally you should be registered as a resident, but in effect they aren't going to throw you in jail for overstaying. Quite honestly I wouldn't worry unless you intend to live here forever. We live in Spain and have most if not all the correct paperwork. However there is a rule of thumb if I was...
We're wondering whether to do part of the Camino starting out around Granada (where we've never been) approximately Friday 23 (yes that's next Friday). We're pretty much novices and I'm recovering from an illness so would be doing it in very small parts. Like 10-15 Km per day probably. We did 2...
Brr. Just about to set first foot on the Camino tomorrow. Just doing 2 days from Logrono to Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Unless we chicken out!! Anyone in that region at the moment? Watching the weather forecast closely. Happier with cold than wet although both of us are still suffering from the...
