    Live from Primitivo

    Hi, It's as the others have said,the albergue Juvenil. I chose it over staying in grandas,and I'm glad I did....there are however just 16 beds,when I arrived,most had been reserved,I got #14. You are really looking at going back to grandas if it is full,or,walking a further 20k to a...

    Ipad...

    I brought mine,but I ruined it by keeping it in my backpack,where the hydration pack normally sits. Sweat/condensation killed it.Next time,for various reasons,a camera phone is all I'll take.

    Which Osprey backpack?

    Short answer based on my own experience-no.I have a kestrel 38,and I find that the side pockets are too far back to comfortably reach/replace a water bottle on the go.The elasticacted pockets are a bit tight,you might pull a bottle out,but you won't get it back in.

    Which Osprey backpack?

    I have a Kestrel 38,and i find it great so far.I considered getting a smaller 32l version,but with the 38 i have space to store my jacket if it gets too hot,or if i need to buy food for the evenings/mornings,there is space for it.There is a great,easy to use on the go carrying system for walking...

    I'm booked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Caroline, A brief search of Bilbao airports' services proves inconclusive,but there is always the option at bilbao's bus and/or train station,one of which you will most likely be using to leave the city? As for rucksacks,i bought an osprey 'Kestrel 38' for my upcoming camino,and it's been...

    IMPORTANT: Advice for pilgrims setting off APRIL 2013

    Re: IMPORTANT: Advice for pilgrims setting off in March 2013 As an aside,if a lot of the early part of the french route is under heavy snow,how about the alternative via bayonne then on to the irun/tunnel route,and meeting up with the camino frances later,on lower ground? Or does this route...
