    A word of warning on trail runners or light weight shoes.

    Hmmmmmm, after 8 years of walking Caminos in Spain and Portugal i can say: my Inov 8 Trailtalon (235 gms each) worked fine, other Inov 8 too. I walked about 100 kms in Crocs on all my Caminos. And my Via de la Plata stretch from Seville to Salamanca (500 kms) i walked in Crocs, my only pair of...

    Looking for hostel/hotel near to bus stop from Finisterre to Santiago

    I can really recommend Albergue Cabo da Vila in Fisterra after having stayed there 5 times in my 8 Camino years. 200 meters down the street heading the bus station. Buy the ticket a day before. And remember: more busses a day than from Muxia.

    Fixing EuroSCHIRM Light Trek umbrella to backpack

    For backpack attachment my suggestions for light umbrella models are Gossamer Gear Clamp or Drinking tube holder (Amz, Eby, Ali), (i use 3 of them to thread the umbrella) To fix the umbrella safely and stable at the hip belt, replace the loop with one twice as long! I have also the...

    Albergue with no Electricity

    Hi all, my most impressive experience on all my caminos over 7 years! So fantastic. Mass at night, ritual foot washing, delicious dinner with wine and candle light, cosy hospitality! And donativo, imagine: there are people asking, „hmmm, how much should i give“.... Must shed a tear sometimes...

    What did you love best about walking la Plata?

    Hi @JillGat , the VdP is boring, some people say. Some say „so we have seen everything, let‘s go home“ after 100 or 200 kms, ho ho. The Plata was my meditative Camino! Quiet, calm, relaxing. It was not boring at all. Depends on your motivation, what you are looking for, your feelings and...

    Which size rucksack?

    Hmmm, hy @pookiebear2002, first of all i fully agree with @FSP and @dougfitz. AND: i used my beloved 66 liters Gossamer Gear G4, the great great grandfather of all ultralight packs: ~385 grams plus ~75 additional grams for the hip belt, almost ~470 grams (can be loaded with ~15 kgs) for the...

    If you were to choose your Camino based on the food?

    Uuuups, my answer is very different from the other ones given here. Having to choose a Camino for its food and drinks i would vote for the Camino Frances. After 7 years on Caminos in Spain and Portugal i have many memories of so many common dinners together in pilgrim communities. I remember...
