  This is what I got, it says 100% Merino wool. I actially wore it all day today, even after my morning hike, when it got wet with perspiration but dried fairly fast. I can still smell it a little bit but not as overpowering as yesterday, but today...

  Update: I wore it today for a morning walk. After walking 3 1/2 miles in 90% humidity, it started to get wet with perspiration. I could smell it but because I was outdoors, the smell seemed to dissipate so it was tolerable. I took this selfie of...

  I’m from PR and I grew up speaking the Boricua version of Spanish. I left the island about 35 years ago so I’m a bit rusty, and not all that familiar with the Spain slang, but I’m sure it will be great to reconnect with my mother tongue. Here’s a...

  I’m also trying to learn how to vlog using iMovie with my iPhone. Here’s a 15 minute video of my 10.8 mile training hike yesterday. Apologies for the poor video quality, and for my poor diction (it’s not just my accent, I have a speech impediment...

  Thanks! I’ve already made reservations from SJPDP through Zubiri. I chose to do an overnight stop at Orisson as I know that it is very steep. The next day on to Roncesvalles, which is longer but less than if I tried to reach it in one day from...

  In preparing for my upcoming Camino, I’ve been wearing 100% polyester t-shirts, which dry reasonably quickly, but I didn’t like how they felt on my skin, and I felt that they retained too much heat when out in the sun. So, I ordered a couple of...

  How can I verify that my current ticket is valid? I’m not planning to buy a new ticket without knowing whether my current one is valid or not. I can’t find anything on the Renfe website to this effect. Thanks!

  How can I verify my ticket status with Renfe? I can’t figure out their website (I know I’m not alone in this). I booked my Madrid-Pamplona train back in February through Trainline, I’m supposed to arrive in early August. I haven’t received any...

  I plan to bring both. I’m a newbie doing his first Camino, and I’ve been doing practice hikes at home, trying different possibilities, so here are my thoughts: I plan on using both. I bought an ultra-light trekking umbrella with a reflective...

  I wouldn’t worry too much about the distances. It seems daunting at first when you’re used to walking 5 km on average to think about walking 20ish km every day for a month. But remember: this is your only job on the camino. This is all you do...
