    Problems with Carry-on Back Packs

    I'm having the same concern about my poles. I've decided to forfeit bringing them and will instead pick up a pair of inexpensive ones from Decathlon once I arrive in Spain. The other items will definitely give you trouble as well.

    Foldable hiking poles in carry-on baggage

    Why Do Adventure Snobs Hate The Camino De Santiago?

    I work for an adventure tour operator in our sales department and get to talk about a whole slew of trips and treks on a daily basis. For me, the Camino will ALWAYS be an adventure. It's by far one of my favourite topics to discuss and share with others. In fact, I'm I work for an adventure...

    Ferrol to Santiago in 4 days

    The friend I'm walking with is a new peregrino. Perhaps it's best if I show her the CF so she gets a great first experience?

    Ferrol to Santiago in 4 days

    Hello! Looking for some insight. My friend and I will be walking the Camino Ingles for the first time next May, but need to reduce our time on the camino from the typical 5 days to 4 due to time constraints. Curious to see if anyone has experience on this route and can offer some tips. I've...
