BillW replied to the thread Painful corns on foot - any advice?.Great news. Enjoy your Camino. I hope it's everything you hope it will be. I know it was for so many of us. Buon Camino! (If you think about it, post after your Camino and let us know if the corns came back.) -
BillW replied to the thread Painful corns on foot - any advice?.I trained a lot for my hike (Le Puy to Sanitago) and got corns.

BillW posted the thread La Vuelta 2024 route and the Camino in Life on the Camino - Miscellaneous Topics.Looks like the Tour de France will not directly stop in any Spanish Camino towns this year, although it may cross over with some of the GR routes for the French routes. La Vuelta (Spain's tour), on the other hand, does cross over in some...

BillW replied to the thread Via Peuceta Italy.Haven't done the trail, but have visited Matera. Absolutely loved it. Our plan was to make it a base for a few days while we explored the area, but we were enjoying ourselves so much, that we just stayed in town and explored. It's nothing like...
