    Passport is Full!

    Hello All! I'm not even half way through the Camino Frances and my Passport is already filling up. I know I will run out of squares before the end. I have a second passport, of a different style. Can I simply continue on the second one when the first one is full? Also, at what point do I need...

    Extra shoes during the day

    I'm a newbie. So my advice might not be as valid as some of the Camino Veterans. But while preparing my packing list for this Spring, I always ask myself, who will be carrying this? Answer... me!

    Multiple Days in Albergues

    Hello all! I have a question about how difficult it is to stay more than one night in the albergues? I heard they kick you out in the morning. So, if I want to stay another day, to rest for example, will they let me check back in in the afternoon? Or will I have to go to a different albergue...
