    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD What happens if you test positive in Spain?

    I was checking in the municipal albergue in Ponferrada when 2 Italian boys had elevated temperatures. They had them rest a few minutes and took the temps again—still too high. They tested them both—positive. And off they went to an official quarantine center in Valladolid for 10 days. Spain...

    Blisters, Red toe, toenail loss

    Rookie Mistake: WARNING: Photos of Ugly Toes Ahead Brought my Solomon trail runners that I’ve been walking in for the last year. Easily walk 10Km+ and never have a single issue with my toes or feet. They are not a 1/2 size bigger than normal. I started with these and thin Injinji socks with...

    Coldest Stages on Camino Frances for late June/July

    What are the coldest (overnight temps) stages on the Camino Frances for Late June/All of July? I'm debating bringing a liner PLUS a light sleeping bag for the albergues OR if I know in advance the coldest stages, maybe those are the nights I'll spend a bit more and stay in a place that has blankets.
