    Hi. I think it is right when thinking of weight to start with the rucksack too .. and the truth is that every extra ounce we carry we feel - all of it is felt down the legs, ankles, and the feet. You can go lighter without going crazy on cost...

    Wise Pilgrim of course! 😜

    If you use Correos for pack transport you can look at their site to see which places they pick up and drop off to. https://www.elcaminoconcorreos.com/en/rucksack-transfer Just curious as to why you will leave the Norte at Gijón instead of...

    I think we could say everywhere ‘gets too crowded’ in peak tourist season - what about poor old Venice. I am in Australia and I heard some people who felt Uluru was ruined by tourism. I went there and had an amazing time even though there were...

    Thanks for this. I used Airalo last year and although it was easy to use was frustrated with needing to top up the data continually over the Camino. I will try Holafly next year instead when I do the Norte.

    annette zarb reacted to Purky's post in the thread Merino wool shirt with Like Like.
    I only wear merino t-shirts these days, mainly because of the comfort and absence of funky odors. I take advantage of deals in the sale seasons and stock up then. I personally have good experiences with Devold (my current favorite) and...
