Because I like a private room/bathroom, I always book lodging ahead, so there is absolutely no down-side for me to prearrange my luggage transfer. I use Pilbeo.com. I chose Pilbeo because their website was super easy to navigate and they were very responsive. I walked from Pamplona to Leon last...
A couple of days after arriving in Santiago, I want to walk to Finisterre. I plan to spend a night, or 2, and then I want to return to Santiago.
A couple of questions for those who have made this trip...
1. Is Finisterre worth a 2- night stay, or should I just stick to 1 night?
2. Is there a...
As a former resident of California, I can say with certainty that you don't need a water bottle to tell you when there is an earthquake or aftershocks! 😂o_Oo_O😂
iPhone 14 Pro and I have to say, the photos and video quality are amazing! Of course that's coming from 2 years with the 12-mini! I chose Pro over Max, because Pro was a little smaller in size.
I had the opposite. Bought a new phone before my Camino, basically for the fabulous camera, but it was eSIM only!
On past trips to Europe, for physical SIM, I have used both Orange and Vodaphone. Both have worked well. I always stop at the kiosk, or store, in the airport and the clerk installs...
If you’re looking for data only, I love Airalo, eSIM. I set it up on my phone before I left and switched over to it right from my phone when I landed in Madrid. Then did the reverse coming back home. Also super easy to top off right from the App if you need more data while on the Camino.

I used the KT tape to wrap each toe, so it was sort of like the silicone toe coverings only I thought more comfortable. I then put my Ingini toe socks on and then my lightweight smartwool socks over those. I had tried everything, Vaseline, glide, Compeed (got super expensive), this for me worked...
I used Pilbeo. Excellent service and a great website to set it all up. Everyday I received notification that my bag had been picked up and then another notification that it had been delivered. Highly recommend!
UPDATE: I know that footwear is as individual as there are individuals :) , so with that said, my journey to find a holy grail shoe has taken me through almost every brand ever made. I have RA, so my feet are always a problem and I've been retired for 2 years, so trading in daily work shoes (aka...

Hi There! I just stumbled onto Gronze a few days ago and it is super helpful, especially in planning some different km stages from the guide books! Quick question: Do you know what the * means beside some of the lodging choices? Are they like a star rating? I searched the site for an...
