    HeidiL reacted to peregrino_tom's post in the thread Unfortunate, but true... with Like Like.
    Another grumpy old so-and-so here, not giving you the advice you are asking for. I strongly recommend what Vacajoe is suggesting and starting closer to Santiago and doing one long walk. If SJPdP is important to you then give it its fair due and...

    Starting a journey for me starts with the planning. This year everything aligned so here I am about to leave Canada to begin my 2nd Camino - the Portuguese Coastal. With three weeks to get my mind and spirit in camino journey mode - this forum...

    HeidiL reacted to Bedspring's post in the thread Train Discounts over 60s with Like Like.
    I have just popped my Targeta Dorada (Golden Ticket) in my packing box. They cost €12 and cannot be bought online, but can be renewed online. If journeying too or from the Camino on Spanish trains it could be worth buying, I think mine paid for...

    There is a thread about the cult of the heating coil. Stray thoughts: Not everyone is a hardcore fan of ultralight packing. If you are happy walking with the weight of your backpack, go for it. Spanish supermarkets, even quite small ones, have...
