    Topo Wearers!

    I LOVE my Topos and have worn them on 2 Caminos. The first time I had some blister issues caused by insoles I bought on the camino. The second camino I wore toe socks and had no blisters and I also bought my shoes a half size bigger. And since I had extra room in my topos, I also put two full...

    Morton’s Neuroma shoe choice

    I too have this problem. I learned that insoles work but a very cheap version, after using an expensive pair that pushed my foot forward in the shoe causing horrible blisters on my toes. First I bought a shoe half a size larger than I would normally wear, brand Topo. Then I used 2 pair per...

    A Coruna question

    The Estrella Galicia Brewery has an excellent self-tour. The mural is worth the price of admission!❤️

    possible town to stop in between Los Arcos and Najera

    And there is a great place to get local honey products and the best burger I had on the Camino in Ventosa. Sorry I can't remember the name but the food was great!

    What I lost on the Camino

    That's a pretty good list, impressive! Here's mine: prescriptions glasses, fleece jacket, hat, hand painted camino t-shirt, rain parka, poles twice, many, many water bottles, yep I think yours is longer. But once I lost my prescription glasses, none of the other stuff really mattered!🤓

    From O Cebreiro to Santiago - Weather Oct-Nov

    The up side is the crowds will be gone! I just did that same route in September in 9 days. It was extremely crowded especially on the weekend. Each region is different and Galicia is as well! I hope you can enjoy it! ❤️

    How to add a camino to the list under my avatar, and how to add a signature

    Thank you for asking that question! I was finally able to put my Camino dates in my profile! I guess I'm a little computer illiterate too!

    Afghans on trees

    I have been wondering since I walked the Frances last fall about this. Along the road outside of El Burgo Ranero there are crocheted afghans wrapped around the trees, several trees. Does anyone know why they are there?

    Pilgrims Office, SJPP - Hiking Poles

    If you are flying into Madrid, I'm sure the security staff has a slew of them. They took mine.

    Experience taking hiking poles as carry on

    Posted previously: Security in Madrid took my triple folded poles out of my pack and said I would have to check them. They had rubber covered blunted tips. Security personal didn't care. I wish I had used the disability excuse because just behind me boarding the plane was a gentleman carrying...
