    More pilgrims on Coastal or Inland Route?

    Hello, this year I will have a special treat on my Camino. My 21 year old son has asked to walk the Porto to Santiago route with me. He is even offering to carry my things. Here is the question. I'd like him to experience the most interaction with other Pilgrims. Hopefully some younger ones...

    Great apps for the Camino

    I used this app for my Camino last year. I really liked it. Am going to use it this week when I start the Camino again. I downloaded the maps so I can use offline. Buen Camino!

    Kt tape in Léon

    I was a big consumer of KT tape last year, and found it along the way. They call it something else. You might pull it up on your phone and show them what it looks like. I found in small towns and little cities last year. Be preapared, it was like $25-30euro a roll.

    5 am cab ride in Santiago?

    So fellow pilgrims. I am planning to catch the first Ryan Air flight out of Santiago on a Sunday morning. Do you think I am going to have trouble getting a cab to pick me up at 5:15 am and transport me to the airport? I can change to flying the night before if it will be difficult to get...

    Help please - transport Leon to Santiago

    A taxi is another option. That you go exactly where you want to each day, at the time you want to.

    Memorial Camino

    So just a year ago on my first Camino I met a wonderful couple from New Zealand and walked with them for much of my journey. Two weeks after our Camino ended, Danny passed away suddenly. His wife Karen, his sister Katherine and I are leaving for a Camino in his memory next week. If you see us...

    LIVE from the Camino Warning - you may need to book ahead

    Just come up with a conservative plan. Some days may be a stretch, other days may be easy. I booked ahead because it was the incentive I needed to get to where I was going, btw, I have Lupus.

    Walking alone- should I avoid Astorga to Rabanal?

    When I walked last year, several women were a little nervous, we all banded together. Feel free to approach other pilgrims and as if you can walk with them. They will be very welcoming.

    Pilgrim shame

    I am guilty of taking a taxi. I developed a bad upper respiratory infection after walking 5 days in the rain. I ended up catching a taxi to skip the last stage into Burgos so I could go to the hospital and get treatment. They were very nice btw...

    Reserving beds for the first few nights

    Or, if you are a planner like me, and need the motivation to meet your mileage you just book ahead. I am traveling Sarria to Finesterre in June and have booked the whole thing already on booking.com. They have a great phone app. You can cancel 24hrs ahead and for me it takes the worry about...

    Bring extra tips for trekking poles?

    Trading back and forth would be a pain. The rubber tips worked great. I just bought two pairs for my Camino this year. I'll trade every ten days or so.

    Bring extra tips for trekking poles?

    Especially if you have the Black Diamond poles. I remembered to check my tips just outside of Leon. Look at the wear!
