    Managing hip pain on Camino

    As someone who has had a hip replacement I can sympathise with you. I had to take ibuprofen, usually I took it for a few days to ease the pain then went off it for a little time. I found as my hip got worse the time between taking ibuprofen got shorter. A hip replacement is life changing. Talk...

    Post Hip Replacement Camino

    I have walked a few Caminos since a hip replacement 20 years ago. Did not do my first Camino until about 10 years after. That was because I had really discovered it. I did however do some long distance bike rides Sydney to Brisbane, Rome to London, Budapest London. Plus some many shorter tours...

    Rest Day: Pontevedra, CaldasdeReis, or Padron?

    I have stayed in Pontevedre a couple of times. Get the bus out to Combarro. There are some little bay cruises there. You end up eating all the freshly cooked mussels you can eat and all the wine you can drink for about 15 euros. Great break from the Camino

    Is it possible to walk from Barcelona to Santiago?

    The guidebook is the Camino Catalan by Callum Christie. I used it a couple of years back. Pretty reliable. Covers Caminos from Barcelona to either Puente La Reina or to Logrono. Good luck

    Is it possible to walk from Barcelona to Santiago?

    I walked as far as Zaragosa a couple of years ago. Weather was very hot over 40 by 11 am. Accommodation not a real problem. There is a guidebook. I think I got it from ivar

    Carry your backpack please.

    I like the idea of carrying the bag. It makes you think about what is important to you. Shedding things you don’t need, to me, is part of the Camino experience. I have walked a few and love the idea of carrying all of my needs with me.

    When I Get to Santiago, how do I submit my credencial and get a compostela?

    I did it two days ago. You can do it by scanning the barcode, outside the office, or if like me your phone doesn’t work use the check in screen just inside, the guy in the door will show it to you. Took me less than half an hour even with the wait in the queue. Good luck. Santiago busy.

    Just how difficult is the Camino Norte ?

    The Norte is a little tough in places, but so too are all the Caminos. Allow a little more time for some stages. The Camino rewards you with some beautiful sections. It is my favourite Camino. Good luck

    Hiking shoes recommendations

    On my first Caminos I wore expensive walking shoes. My last two I have worn a pair of $A 50 from ASDA supermarket in the UK. Good luck
