    Where to buy a SIM card?

    Once you have a local SIM card and are set-up to make local calls in spain, are you able to make toll free calls for free? The. Reason I ask is that I have a phone card that is very cheap - Spain to United States.

    Thankfully continuing once again

    Patty and Mspath, you both have given me perspective and inspiration. God Bless you both. I'm starting my camino at the end of October and hope I can catch up to you Mspath but won't be surprised if I don't.

    Training for a marathon while on the Camino Frances

    I see what J-S is saying. Who wants to share their intimate journey with some one who is using the same path for training? The very fortunate thing is at that pace, he won't be around anyone too long.

    November Camino

    Nice. How's the training going? Talked to a few people, one from France and they all agree that the start will be very nice but the end might be a little cold. Have you heard anything? Also, where are you landing; that is if your flying to Spain/France?

    Having to bike part of the Camino due to knee problems?

    I have had several knee operations in my life. I have been training for the Camino for almost a year and am doing amazingly well. However I would like to plan for the worst and figure that I might need to take weight off my knees and switch to a bike at some point. It is my intention to start...

    Women sun hats - what not to wear

    Awesome pic WayWalker. I've been training for my November camino with the same hat and have come to realize that it does not preform well against the wind. I have decided to go with a regular ball cap and an old white shirt under it to protect my ears and neck. Other than being stopped twice...
