      also, I was surprised at how much trail supply there is on the Camino itself in various shoe stores in towns. And in general, I think they are less expensive there. On the downside, they’re brand new, so they’re risky, but rest assured that if...

      October is the goal. Thanks for the advice on everything! Breaking them in is definitely great advice!

      Only you can say. Try walking a couple of consecutive days of 15-20 km and decide for yourself. It would be the same for a week or a month or even more on the Camino. The clothes and equipment would be the same, with only very minor adjustments...

      what month? we just did Sarria to Santiago in December. A lot of rain. I wore trail running shoes which were perfect with gators added at times. But I did break them in before we went. I think that’s hugely important. And lots of wool socks...

      I can only speak for the short walk from Sarria but most of the albergues were closed between xmas & new year. I’m glad I booked in advance and booked hotels and of course they were heated and totally fine - with 15mi our longest day. I can’t...

      I walked the Frances in January last year. There were a number of stages which had to be a fair bit longer than that. I don't think it could be done in 15km stages in January or February without the use of taxis.

      easonm reacted to Anik2001's post in the thread Monasterio de Santa Maria de Carracedo with Like Like.
      Hello! After Portomarín and Gonzar, there is a place called Castro de Castromaior, archaeological remains of an ancient village. It is only a few meters away from the camino and you get back on it very easily. If you like history, it is worth...

      i wish more albergues and cafes were open along the Camino in December and January. I wonder if that would draw more pilgrims that time of year and take some of the pressure/crowd off of the other seasons. The weather can be a little tricky but...

      easonm reacted to Rebekah Scott's post in the thread Bourbon and cigars with Like Like.
      A brand of bourbon is available in just about any Spanish bar: it's called Four Roses. The label says it's from Kentucky, but I have my doubts... back in my American days I was a fan of nice bourbon. This is just OK, but when I get the yen, it's...
