    How many pilgrims do not ask for a Compostela after their Camino?

    Altras Lone Peak 6 + Flat Feet

    I wore Altra LP 6’s last year and did the whole Camino Frances. Super comfy and not one single blister! I’m still hiking every week and won’t wear anything else. Waiting for the LP 7’s to arrive now. Excellent shoes.

    Foot Care

    I’ve just completed the Camino Frances. SJPP to Santiago. I did not get one blister, not one! I did however take care of my feet. Trail runners: Altra Lone Peak 6. Wide toe box which meant my toes were not squashed. They are not waterproof but this did mean they dried out quickly and I never...

    Numbers of pilgrims starting at SJPP

    Thanks Susan, I have now pre booked right up to Puente la Reina which is 6 nights. You are right, Zubiri was already really busy.
