    Advice of those who have walked May/June

    We started with 11 degrees in Roncesvalles and 14 days later we arrived at 2 pm at 37 degrees. So best would be in my opinion the onion-look. Zipper trousers, different layers a convertible buff. Most helpful was my Euro Schirm. I used on hard rainy days and it was lifesaving in the hot sun.

    Wool socks

    We both have worn Wightsocks double layer socks too- never had blisters. Buon Camino

    Has anyone used a trekking umbrella?

    During the hot days, I just survived using the Euroschirm. Some peregrines asked me where to buy the so much wanted shadow. One peregrine which I met often on my way named me the Shadow Lady. At the beginning of our Camino, we had 3 rain days with strong winds. It was wonderful to stay dry and...

    An open heart post seeking support

    Hi CaminoSeeker, the Camino calls you. I can hear it clearly and I am sure you too. Thinking and now writing about is the start. Book your ticket, use a simple Camino pack list and start. One step after another. Follow the yellow arrows. Lots of pilgrims have or have had hard times in their...

    Booking last 2 weeks in May

    My husband and I will start on the 15th of May. Can't wait to be on the Camino again. Made some reservations to avoid bed rushing. We have some health issues so can`t walk more than 20 km each day.

    Help from German Pilgrims

    would i have to learn German? No, I don`t think so. Most of Germans are speaking English meanwhile. There might be a problem with the old people but English is common in Elementary school and goes further till the end of any school. You will always find anyone who does understand and can help if...

    I love my Euroschirm silver hands free umbrella. This present was my most important survival kit during this year heat.

    Burgos

    We walked there today. Follow the road oft the left side. There are yellow signs and shells. Look close and if you have time walk to the bar at the Hospital where the bus stopps and ask the friendly owner there. Hope to meet you in my favorite place -the meseta.

    Villafranca

    We stopped there last year and had the same wonderful experience as you describe. It is a MUSST to rest there or stay over night. They didn`t had a sello at that time and painted a sello instead of stamping. A very lovely family and a great place to eat and stay.

    Live- Pilgrims On Spanish Tv - But It Is Streamed

    Thank you for this explanation. I remember that I understood most if the spanish people spoke slowly with me. But when we entered Galicia I had the feeling to be in another foreign country. It was a bit strange for me. Till yesterday they walked with jackets all day long. It seems to be much...
