    Baiona to Vigo

    Hi. I am currently in Baiona on a rest day. Tomorrow we walk to Vigo. There are a lot of options and I am not sure which one is the best for us. My walking partner is having some minor knee issues so the “flatter” route may be the best option. However, we do like to have cafes with WCs along...

    LIVE from the Camino Two Canucks and a baby

    Thanks for the tip on Artesania Pedra Rubia. It was a lovely spot to make a brief stop. Charming owner and artisan. We would have walked right by had I not read your post. Unfortunately, O Pensaco seemed to be closed. Very much enjoying your posts. We are also two Canucks ( but seniors so...

    What's Your Favorite Socks or Combination You Have Ever Used?

    This is has been an enlightening discussion as I prepare for my first camino. I live in Canada and the only place I have been able to find Ininji toe socks and/or liners is Amazon. Is there somewhere else to buy them? Or is there another brand that are similar and available?

    Help us choose the perfect Camino route for a peaceful yet social pilgrimage

    Thank you. We have been discussing all of these options and have come to the decision that we do want to end in Santiago. So that still leaves many great choices and we appreciate all of the input to help us narrow down the best route for us.

    Help us choose the perfect Camino route for a peaceful yet social pilgrimage

    I was concerned that the Primitivo might have too many steep inclines for our first attempt. My son completed the Primitivo in February 2020 and he is in much better physical shape than his parents.

    Help us choose the perfect Camino route for a peaceful yet social pilgrimage

    Hmm. I had not considered the Portuguese Camino because we will be in Madrid for a wedding so assumed that we would start in Spain. I have travelled in Portugal so was looking for new scenery but the Portuguese route would be different experience. I will read more about it. Up until now I...
