    Navarrete

    one of my favorite municipal albergue experiences. It was lovely, sweet, quiet, airy and light filled (a nice, small-village escape from the big city of Logroño!), with a beautiful big kitchen and a great little grocery store across the street. There's a little bar right outside and next to the...

    Primitivo as a first Camino?

    Just starting to read through this now. Your pictures and entries are helping me a lot in my decision making, and feeling like the Primitivo might be the right next one for me :)

    just finished Frances, Del Norte is beckoning me next. Info from those who've walked, please?

    thank you! I have to confess I haven't even looked at the Norte or Primitivo routes yet, so towns don't mean too much to me, but I'm going to start looking at the landscape and reading about both routes today :D other question, Tia, it seems that you've done many northern routes; Any months...

    just finished Frances, Del Norte is beckoning me next. Info from those who've walked, please?

    Thanks Joe. I suffered from great foot pain (and eventual really bad tendonitis along my lower legs/shin), which I suspect started because my shoes' soles were not thick and sturdy enough, and cascaded into secondary problems as I made shoe (and probably walking adjustments) to help my primary...

    just finished Frances, Del Norte is beckoning me next. Info from those who've walked, please?

    I completed the Camino Frances on July 3, and already the Del Norte is whispering my name. In Azura I asked those Del Norte joiners about their experience, and they told me a few things.. I will do my own research, but this Forum is such a treasure and so full of guidance and information that I...

    treated fitted sheet for bed bugs? advise please..

Have also read other posts on the subject to learn what other seasoned walkers have done. thanks for your help. My only second thought about the sheet is that...

    treated fitted sheet for bed bugs? advise please..

    Thanks for your input, everyone. I never had thought of bedbugs in my preparations, but came across this very thorough and humorous Camino-related site on the subject, so been scratching my head about it since (har har). Tried to purchase this sheet through Amazon.uk,and tried every which way to...

    treated fitted sheet for bed bugs? advise please..

    i did spray my bag liner with permethrin. This guy was saying that if you get hot and want to remove your body parts from the mummy bag, you are no longer covered by the permethrin, and he recommended bringing a fitted sheet too, as it would also cover the questionable pillow - need for...

    treated fitted sheet for bed bugs? advise please..

    I read a few posts, from awhile back, of a seasoned Pilgrim who recommended getting a small/single fitted bed sheet to put on the albergue beds. This was as a defense against bedbugs (in addition to having a sleeping bag or liner treated with Permetherin) and would also allow pilgrims to have...
